Used in water treatment to remove organic acids and weakly ionized anionic impurities, especially in demineralization processes. Effective in the recovery and purification of antibiotics, such as penicillin, in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Applied in the food and beverage industry for decolorization and removal of unwanted anions. Commonly utilized in hydrometallurgy for the concentration and separation of precious metals like gold and platinum from leach solutions. Also employed in environmental applications for the removal of nitrate and perchlorate from contaminated water sources. Its macroporous structure provides good mechanical strength and resistance to fouling, making it suitable for processing solutions with high organic content.
