Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ion-exchange resin regeneration system includes: salt water flowing means that flows an aqueous sodium chloride solution or an aqueous potassium chloride solution into a container storing ion-exchange resin; and hard water component crystallizing means that crystallizes and removes hard water components containing metal ions from drained water arising from the ion-exchange resin through which the aqueous sodium chloride solution or the aqueous potassium chloride solution has flowed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An ion-exchange resin regeneration system comprising: a tube through which an aqueous sodium chloride solution or an aqueous potassium chloride solution flows into a container storing ion-exchange resin; and hard water component crystallizing means that crystallizes and removes hard water components containing metal ions from drained water arising from the ion-exchange resin through which the aqueous sodium chloride solution or the aqueous potassium chloride solution has flowed; wherein the hard water component crystallizing means includes an ion removal device that generates fine bubbles and supplies the fine bubbles into the drained water, to thereby allow metal ions in the drained water to be adsorbed on the fine bubbles, the fine bubbles each having a diameter of 100 μm or less. 2. The ion-exchange resin regeneration system of claim 1 , further comprising: separating means that separates crystals of hard water components crystallized and precipitated.
