Because Lewatit® CNP 80 requires only a small excess of acid for regeneration, it can be used economically in the following application areas:
• Dealkalization of industrial water in once‑through systems
• Demineralization of water in decationization systems in combination with a strong acid cation exchange resin (e.g., Lewatit® MonoPlus S 100)
• Removal of temporary hardness (carbonate hardness)
• Once‑through single‑bed systems in demineralization plants (polishing) for the removal of calcium in the hydroxide form, at flow velocities up to 50 m/h
• Single filtration systems for water softening, or as a polishing resin in combination with Lewatit® S 1467
• Removal or recovery of heavy metals such as copper, nickel, and zinc from electroplating rinse waters with a pH > 5, free of calcium ions and complexing agents, when the resin is in the sodium form
