Material of sodium ion exchanger
Thread Content
Hello, dear sea friends. I have a question regarding the material selection for sodium ion exchangers. Chloride ions are certainly present in sodium ion exchangers, and chloride ions are corrosive to austenitic stainless steel; therefore, I believe it is not appropriate to use 304 or 316 stainless steel as the material for the housing. Carbon steel in a strong acid environment should also not work. So, what material should be used for the housing of the sodium ion exchanger? It is economical and durable. I found some information online; is it rubber lining? Those who are aware of this please share your insights; thank you.
Ion exchangers are generally lined with rubber.
If the pressure and temperature are not high, some lining materials will suffice; in cases of high temperature, high pressure, and high corrosion, nickel-based alloy cladding can be used. I’m not very familiar with exchangers; I hope this helps you
