Chloromethylated anion exchange resins based on styrene have always posed a potential health hazard in production. As a safe alternative, three new resins were prepared based on the chemistry of polyamine epoxy, acrylic epoxy and phenolic epoxy with epichlorohydrin. Samples of strong, weak and mixed basicity with varying characteristics were made for water treatment applications. Pilot plant samples show promising results in laboratory operating data and performance in field trials.
