Global Ion Exchange Resins Market to Witness robust growth with Samyang Corporation entering into a contract with Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power to supply ion exchange resins for purification of nuclear power plants
Ion exchange resin is the name given to an organic compound that has a variety of applications in the pharmaceutical and bio-medical industries. This chemical compound is made from amino acids (proteins) that have been treated with an electrochemical process. The process activates a reaction between the charged amino acids and creates ions (free radicals), which bind to other molecules. When a molecule has an extra electron, a proton is released, and this new atom gives way for a new chemical reaction, creating another set of ions that bond with the atoms of another substance, create a new compound, or participate in chemical reactions in general. Ions exchange resins are termed as such as the crystals that make up the compound are designed to pass through an electric membrane. Increasing demand for nuclear electricity generation in emerging economies is expected to drive growth of the global ion exchange resins market . Nuclear power is one of the most low-carbon energy source...
