cation exchanger

cation exchanger
An insoluble solid (usually a polystyrene or a polysaccharide) that has negatively charged radicals attached to it ( e.g., –COO−, –SO3−), which can attract and hold cations that pass by in a moving solution if these are more attracted to the acid groups than the counter ion present.
