Abstract (EN): The methods for designing ion exchange equipment, namely batch, continuous perfectly mixed and fixed beds, are discussed. For each type of equipment the solution concentration (and resin concentration) as a function of time can be calculated by using three different models: - equilibrium model - film diffusion model - homogeneous particle diffusion model. In all cases the ion exchange equilibrium isotherm is nonlinear. The numerical solutions were obtained using the method of lines with a finite element collocation technique for the spatial coordinate.
