Échangeur d'ionsLes échangeurs d'ions sont des macromolécules insolubles (résine) comportant des groupements ionisables ayant la propriété d'échanger de façon réversible certains de leurs ions au contact d'autres ions provenant d'une solution. thumb|Système d'échangeur d'ions thumb|Résine échangeuse d'ions Le principe des systèmes échangeurs d'ions consiste à échanger le cation central d'un complexe pour en former un autre, dont la stabilité dépend des conditions opératoires (concentration, numéro atomique de l'élément).
LandLand, also known as dry land, ground, or earth, is the solid terrestrial surface of Earth not submerged by the ocean or another body of water. It makes up 29.2% of Earth's surface and includes all continents and islands. Earth's land surface is almost entirely covered by regolith, a layer of rock, soil, and minerals that forms the outer part of the crust. Land plays important roles in Earth's climate system, being involved in the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and water cycle.
