🌊 What is Deionized Water?
Deionized (DI) water, also known as demineralized water, is water from which most ionic impurities have been removed through ion-exchange processes. These ions typically include minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and chloride—each of which can pose problems in industrial and sensitive applications Univar Solutions+1Complete Water Solutions+1Complete Water Solutions+6Veolia Water Technologies+6Wychwood Water Systems+6.
🔬 How It’s Produced
Water is passed through resin beds containing positively and negatively charged exchange materials. These resins swap out mineral ions for hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, resulting in ultra-pure H₂O. Often, DI systems are used in combination with reverse osmosis (RO) as a pre-treatment step to maximize purity and prevent scale buildup Complete Water Solutions+7Veolia Water Technologies+7Wychwood Water Systems+7.
