Salt plays a key role in the regeneration process of ion-exchange resin used in water softeners. In these systems, the ion-exchange resin removes calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions from the water, which are the main causes of water hardness, replacing them with sodium (Na⁺) ions.
When the ion-exchange resin becomes saturated with calcium and magnesium ions, it loses its ability to effectively soften the water. To restore its function, a salt solution (usually based on sodium chloride, NaCl) is used. Here's how it works:
- Resin regeneration: The salt solution flushes the ion-exchange resin, and the sodium from the salt replaces the calcium and magnesium ions that the resin has accumulated during water softening.
- Restoration of efficiency: After the salt wash, sodium ions take the place of calcium and magnesium ions in the resin structure, allowing it to once again effectively remove hardness ions from the water.
- Calcium and magnesium removal: The calcium and magnesium ions are washed away into the drain along with the used salt solution, and the ion-exchange resin is ready to soften the water again.
Thus, salt is essential for maintaining the functionality of ion-exchange water softeners, allowing the system to continually restore its softening properties.
