Abstract:
Our global economy is at a turning point. The progress in communications and technology has surpassed our
imagination, yet we find ourselves facing limited natural resources that may put an end to the economic development
and even, to life itself. The green economy replaces slowly, but steady the traditional one. The rules are changing.
Competition is moving in a green court and only those who will show a social and ecological responsibility will
survive. Water, the resource we depend on, becomes more and more polluted. Time has come to act and join forces
from all areas and domains, with the sole purpose to find the best solutions. Ion exchange technology seems to be a
reliable option. We believe it is a domain that will develop through future studies and research, and will be successfully
implemented in many of the world’s companies. The things we witness in this era are alarming, and in finding the
suitable solution, we have to rely on research and inter-science collaboration.
