The ion exchange resins behave as a medium for the exchange of ions between two electrolytes. The polymer is an insoluble substance that comprises small microbeads. These beads are yellow or brown in appearance and they also provide a large surface area. The ion exchange resins are classified into various types based on the nature of functional groups like strongly acidic, strongly basic, weakly acidic and weakly basic.
