In the Rrst part of this chapter, the origins of
ion exchange in inorganic materials are discussed
in relation to the structure of the exchanger.
Thereafter, the various types of inorganic ion
exchangers are introduced and categorized according
to their ion exchange properties. Descriptions of
particular materials follow, with special emphasis
on some structure-speciRc and composition-speciRc
ion exchange properties. The materials which are
discussed include zeolites and zeolite-like materials,
clays and other layered materials, zirconium
phosphates, heteropolyoxometalates and hydrous
oxides.
