Lewatit® TP 207 is a weakly acidic, macroporous cation exchange resin of standard bead size distribution with chelating iminodiaceticacid groups designed for the selective extraction of heavy metal cations from weakly acidic to weakly basic solutions. Divalent cations are removed from neutralized waters in the following order (decreasing affinity):
Copper > Vanadium (V02') > Uranium (U0221 > Lead > Nickel > Zinc > Cadmium > Cobalt > Iron (II) > Beryllium > Manganese » Calcium > Magnesium > Strontium > Barium >>> Sodium.
Its good chemical and mechanical stability makes it particular suitable for the following applications:
The selective extraction of heavy metal cations by Lewatit® TP 207 is also achieved in presence of complexing agents such as nitrogen compounds (e.g. ammonia, aliphatic and aromatic amines), multivalent carboxylic acids (e.g. citric, gluconic, tartraric, oxalic acid) and phosphates (e.g. sodium polyphosphate, tetrasodium diphosphate).
