ABSTRACT:
Water is demineralized by passage through a water demineralization system. The water demineralization system comprises a series of at least three ion exchange resin zones. The sequential series comprises a strong acid cation (SAC) resin zone, a first anion resin zone, and a weak acid cation (WAC) resin zone. The SAC resin zone comprises a SAC resin for removing cations from the water, the first anion resin zone comprises an anion resin for removing anions from the water, and the WAC resin zone comprises a WAC resin for removing cations from water without substantially splitting any salts present in the water. Means for connecting each resin zone in the series are provided so that water can pass sequentially through the system. A method is also provided for regenerating the WAC resin from sodium and ammonium exhaustants. This method comprises contacting the WAC resin with an aqueous solution of a regenerant that is substantially devoid of sulfur and halogen groups. The regenerant is selected from the group consisting of (a) organic acids, (b) inorganic acids, (c) amine salts of (a) and (b), (d) amines, and (e) combinations thereof.
