Abstract
The disclosure provides compositions and methods for removing ions from hydrocarbon mediums. A method may include removing a first anion from a liquid hydrocarbon. The method may include contacting an ion exchange resin having a second anion with a water-soluble organic solvent to form a treated ion exchange resin, contacting the treated ion exchange resin with the liquid hydrocarbon, and removing the first anion from the liquid hydrocarbon by exchanging the first anion with the second anion. A composition may include the hydrocarbon medium and the ion exchange resin or treated ion exchange resin.
