How is zeolite (permutit) regenerated for further use in the ion-exchange method?
Options
- ABy heating it to a high temperature
- BBy treating it with an aqueous sodium chloride solution
- CBy adding more zeolite to it
- DBy filtering it
Correct answer
B. By treating it with an aqueous sodium chloride solution
Step-by-step solution
Zeolite (permutit) is regenerated for further use in the ion-exchange method by treating it with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, which replaces the adsorbed hardness ions with sodium ions.
