Usage

Uses

Used in Water Treatment Industry:
AMBERLITE IR-120 is used as a water softening agent to remove calcium and magnesium ions from water, which are responsible for water hardness. This application is crucial for preventing scale formation and improving the efficiency of water-using appliances.
AMBERLITE IR-120 is also used as a dealkalinization agent to reduce the concentration of alkaline substances in water, ensuring a balanced pH level and preventing potential damage to aquatic life and water infrastructure.
Furthermore, AMBERLITE IR-120 is utilized as a deionization agent to eliminate charged particles, such as ions, from water, resulting in high-purity water suitable for various industrial and laboratory applications.
Used in Environmental and Industrial Applications:
AMBERLITE IR-120 is employed in the recovery of toxic metals from wastewater and industrial effluents. By selectively binding to metal ions, this resin aids in the removal and recovery of harmful metals, reducing their environmental impact and facilitating their recycling or safe disposal.
Used in Chromatography:
AMBERLITE IR-120 serves as a separation medium in various chromatographic techniques, including thin-layer chromatography (TLC), paper chromatography, and liquid-phase liquid chromatography (LPLC). Its ion exchange properties enable the efficient separation and identification of different compounds in a mixture, making it a valuable tool in chemical analysis and research.
