Yin-yang bed regeneration issue
Thread Content
When regenerating the yin-yang bed, a heat exchanger is specifically installed to raise the temperature; what should be the appropriate level? What are the differences in the procedures for in vivo regeneration and in vitro regeneration, and can regeneration always take place in vivo?
Around 40 degrees is ideal; it’s mentioned in the documentation

The regeneration temperature depends on the type of resin you are using; moreover, the temperature requirements vary between cationic and anionic resins. The specific information should be provided in the materials given to you by your manufacturer. According to the available data, there is no uniform temperature. In-situ regeneration occurs when the resin becomes ineffective and loses its working exchange capacity; in other words, the active groups H+ and OH- ions of the resin are displaced, and acids and bases are used to regenerate it in order to restore its working exchange capacity. It’s not clear whether in vitro regeneration involves scrubbing here; in our case, the resin inside the bed is sent to a scrubbing tower, where it is washed with air and water. The main purposes of this process are two: first, to loosen the resin that has clumped together, and second, to remove impurities from the resin. Please forgive any imperfections in my humble remarks.
Reply to 3# Hanbing Yijiao: Thank you for the detailed explanation. The water I am working with is water obtained after hydrating butyl alcohol, and the treatment temperature is 90 degrees. I’m a bit confused as I have never worked with such high temperatures before How is tower regeneration achieved in vitro?
