Lewatit Monoplus TP 260: Product Information
Lewatit® MonoPlus TP 260 is a weakly acidic, macroporous cation exchange resin with chelating amino
methyl phosphonic acid groups designed for the selective removal of heavy metal cations and alkaline earth
cations.
The monodisperse, uniform sized beads of Lewatit® MonoPlus TP 260 are mechanically and osmotically
more stable than ion exchange resin beds with heterodisperse bead size distribution. Additionally they offer
superior kinetic behavior which leads to faster uptake of cations and a better utilization of capacity. Due to
its modified polymer structure and substitution grade it is for example suitable for use in:
• fine polishing of brine fed to chloralkali membrane cells, e.g. by removal of Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Sr2+; in the
absence of Fe3+ ions
• fluoride (F) removal using aluminum (Al) doped Lewatit® MonoPlus TP 260
• antimony (Sb) and tungsten (Bi) removal from copper containing electrolyte
• uranium (U) removal from crude phosphoric acid
• titanium (Ti) removal from recycled battery acid
• aluminum (Al) removal from urea solutions
• lead (Pb) and strontium (Sr) removal from BF4- containing waste water out of PCB production
• removal of iron(II), nickel and zinc from 5 % gluconate containing liquid metal working
Heavy metal and alkaline earth cations are removed out of neutralized process and waste waters in
following order (decreasing affinity):
Uranium (UO 2 2+ ) > Lead > Copper > Zinc > Nickel > Cadmium > Cobalt >> Calcium > Magnesium >
Strontium > Barium >>> Sodium.
The special properties of this product can only be fully utilized if the technology and process used
correspond to the current state-of-the-art. Further advice in this matter can be obtained from Lanxess,

Toxicity
The safety data sheet must be observed. It contains additional data on product description, transport,
storage, handling, safety and ecology.
Disposal
In the European Community Ion exchange resins have to be disposed, according to the European waste
nomenclature which can be accessed on the internet-site of the European Union.
Storage
It is recommended to store ion exchange resins at temperatures above the freezing point of water under
roof in dry conditions without exposure to direct sunlight. If resin should become frozen, it should not be
mechanically handled and left to thaw out gradually at ambient temperature. It must be completely thawed
before handling or use. No attempt should be made to accelerate the thawing process.
Packaging
The experience has shown that the packaging stability for reliable resin containment is limited to 24 months
under the storage conditions described above. It is therefore recommended to use the product within this
time frame; otherwise the packaging condition should be checked regularly.
