A bench top experiment was performed to determine the hexavalent chromium (Cr{sup +6}) absorption capacity of three ion exchange resins. The resin types tested were Purolite A300, A500, and A600 which are commercially available. This experiment is part of an effort to better characterize resin efficiencies at removing Cr{sup +6} from ground water extracted from wells at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The information obtained from these laboratory scale tests will aid in the determination of the preferred resin for an onsite ground water treatment facility.
