# Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on detergents (Text with EEA relevance), Division: ANION-EXCHANGE COLUMN

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Place 600 ml anion-exchange resin (5.3.6) in a beaker and cover by adding 2 000 ml deionised water. Allow the resin to swell for at least two hours. Transfer the resin into the column by means of deionised water. The column should contain a glass-wool plug.
Wash the column with 0,3 M ammonium bicarbonate solution (5.3.4) until free of chloride. This requires about 5 000 ml solution. Wash again with 2 000 ml deionised water.
Displace the water with 2 000 ml isopropanol/water mixture (5.3.3) at a rate of 10-30 ml/min. The exchange column is now in the OH form and ready for operation.
