Abstract

This article experimentally investigates the performance and capacity of Purolite C100E commercial resin recommended for water softening applications in the food industry. The practical ion exchange capacity and the softening process efficiency are studied in batch mode as a function of the sorption specific process factors. Optimum operation conditions were determined as initial pH 7.1, resin dose 8 g dry resin.L^sup -1^, temperature 25 degree Celsius, contact time of 360 min, and in those conditions the retention capacity for the Ca^sup 2+^ ions is 17.18 mg.g^sup -1^, that corresponds to a removal efficiency equal to 85.7%.
