The salt effect (KOH, NaOH, NaCl and KCl) of the lab-produced resins (lipophilic) and the commercial ion-exchange resin (hydrophilic) were investigated, including the density of active sites, kind of solvent, imbibed solvent composition of the resin. The element of the resin was analyzed by SEM-EDS and EA. The degree of quaternization (chloride density) in the resin was determined by EA and Volhard method. The imbibed amounts of organic solvent and water and the volume ratios for lab-produced resins were larger than those for commercial resins. The equilibrium relationship between interier salt concentration in the resin and bulk salt concentration was described by Freundlish isotherm equation.
