Ion Exchange: Quality Standards And Test Methods

How do you test and compare kinetic behavior or fouling and degradation of your ion exchange resins? There are many test methods available for various types of tests, a good option to compare apples with apples is the use of international standards from for example ASTM (American Standard Test Method), EN (European Norm) and ISO (International Standardization Organisation).

Below is a selection of test methods that we have found;
