a series of events or steps which ultimately lead back to the starting point, such as the exhaustion-regeneration cycle of an ion exchange system; sometimes incorrectly used in reference to a single step to a complete cycle.
Cation Exchange
process in which cations in solution are exchanged for other cations from an ion exchanger.
Cation
an ion with a positive electrical charge, such as calcium, magnesium and sodium.
Acid
A substance which releases hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.Most acids will dissolves the common metals, and will react with a base to form a neutral salt and water.
