Magnetic ion exchange (MIEXis an ion exchange resin developed as an additive to existing water treatment plants where additional organic matter is to be removed. The smaller size, magnetic properties and simple regeneration using NaCl distinguishes MIEXrom conventional ion exchange resins and hence its use in international development applications is investigated in this review article. MIEXas been demonstrated to remove varying levels of dissolved organic matter, inorganic anions such as nitrate and sulphate and micropollutants including non-ionic pesticides. The removal efficiency can also be influenced by temperature, ...

As MIEXs unable to disinfect water, the most likely application within international development is as pre-treatment before disinfection or membrane filtration
