Description

Water which has had all charged particles removed. Deionized water (DI water) is produced using a two-stage process that first passes water through an ion exchange resin to replace any dissolved cations with hydrogen; the resultant acids are then adsorbed in a second column that contains an acid scavenger. Another type of filtration, called reverse osmosis, uses pressure to force the small water molecules through a membrane while trapping larger minerals and contaminants.

Soaking any material in DI water will readily dissolve or leach any salts or ions.

Synonyms and Related Terms

DI water; de-ionized water; demineralized water; deionised water (Br.); agua desionizada (Esp.)
