Acidification by cation exchanger treatment
II.3.1.1.5 Acidification by cation exchange treatment
Definition:
Physical partial extraction of cations from the wine to increase titration acidity and actual acidity (decrease in pH) through cation exchanger
Objectives:
a) Increase titration acidity and actual acidity (decrease in pH)
Acidification by electromembrane treatment - Bipolar membrane electrodialysis
II.3.1.1.4 Acidification by electromembrane treatment (bipolar membrane electrodialysis)
Definition:
Physical method for ionic extraction in wine under the action of an electric field using membranes permeable only to cations on the one hand, and bipolar membranes on the other hand, and enabling an increase of titratable acidity and actual acidity (decrease of the pH).
Objectives:
Treatment with ion exchangers
II.3.1.1.3 Treatment with ion exchangers
Definition:
Operation consisting of passing the wine through a column of polymerised resin that acts as an insoluble polyelectrolyte whose ions are able to be exchanged with ions of the wine. According to their polar groupings, ion exchange resins are categorised as cation exchangers and anion exchangers.
