- Ion Exchange
ARi’s ion exchange and adsorption systems benefit from the use of fractal fluid distribution, which promotes plug flow characteristics through the resin beds. This results in improved resin utilization, reduced equipment size, and greater capacity. ARi has developed ion exchange and adsorption systems for a wide range of applications, including:
- Direct Lithium Extraction for the recovery of lithium from brines
- Polishing of lithium-rich brines to remove calcium, magnesium, boron and fluoride
- Sugar Decolorization
- Ion Exchange Chromatography
- Arsenic and Heavy Metal Removal
- Peroxide Purification
- Demineralization
- Sucrose Inversion
- Ammonia Removal from Condensate
ARi’s ion exchange technology is also used in the beet sugar industry to remove divalent compounds from sugar beet thin juice. The calcium in the juice is removed using weak acid cation exchange, resulting in decalcified juice that greatly decreases evaporator scale.
