Abstract
In a demineralization apparatus, a mixed bed of a gel type cation exchange resin having a moisture holding capacity of 41% or less or a degree of crosslinkage of 12% or greater is employed along with a porous type anion exchange resin. As a result, oxidation degradation of the cation exchange resin due to hydrogen peroxide can be inhibited and the performance of the ion exchange resins and of the condensate water demineralizer can be stabilized and maintained for a long period of time.
Claims2
A condensate water demineralizer for a power plant, said condensate water demineralizer disposed so as to receive a flow of condensate water, wherein the condensate water demineralizer comprises a mixed bed of a gel type cation exchange resin and a porous type anion exchange resin, said cation exchange resin being selected to substantially reduce degradation of performance, as measured by a mass transfer coefficient, of said anion exchange resin and having a moisture holding capacity of at most 41% or a degree of crosslinkage of at least 12%, wherein said power plant is a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant.
