swtwater.com ProSelect™ HexChrome
ProSelect™ HexChrome (P/N ER20011) is a granular gel weak base anion resin with unique epoxy polyamine functionality. It utilizes a secondary mechanism for chromate removal that causes chromium to precipitate inside the resin matrix when the feed pH is slightly acidic. ProSelect HexChrome is intended for all chromate removal applications. It is shipped in the acid chloride form.
 
 
Chromate Removal
ProSelect HexChrome is a unique weak base anion exchanger with a secondary hybrid capture mechanism for chromate. Under neutral to slightly acidic conditions, chromate is first exchanged into the resin, then reduced to trivalent chrome which covalently bonds to the resin backbone. Throughput capacity is many times greater than that provided by the ion exchange groups alone, allowing very high loading and infrequent change-outs. Because the hexavalent chromate reduction step is both time and pH dependent, it is the rate controlling step. Operation at pH greater than 6 requires low flow rates, rest periods, or periodic soak steps at lower pH to allow the reduction step to catch up. Capacities in excess of 5 lbs of chrome (as Cr) per cubic foot of media are routinely achieved with ProSelect HexChrome when operated at optimum pH and flow conditions. ProSelect HexChrome is not affected by common ions such as nitrate, sulfate, or chloride but can be damaged or fouled by high levels of suspended solids, iron, manganese, chlorine, etc.
