A Critical Analysis of MIEX Application in Water Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel magnetic ion exchange resin called MIEX Resin is being utilized in potable water treatment, which indicates significant advantages. The objective of this article is to analyze characteristics and application of MIEX Resin in engineering projects, and hence provide critical review on merits and demerits of the resin. Furthermore, researches on combination of MIEX Resin with other water treatment technologies would be analyzed and discussed to prove potential that a MIEX Resin process integrated with other treatments can be employed in broader fields of wastewater treatment and reuse.
