(OP)
Good day!
What is the best material for a cylindrical tank storing caustic brine solution (Recycled solution coming from Ion Exchange regeneration)?
Currently, the tank in our plant is mild steel with rubber lining. We are planning on replacing it since corrosion is already evident on the mild steel shell. Is it practical to replace the tank with the same material? Or it would be better to use different material. If yes, what material is best suited for this application?
Thank you in advance!

Temperature, pressure and size all have a bearing on what options are available but not detailed so difficult to say much more.
Seawater is OK for carbon steel when you take the oxygen content down to < 50ppm (I think). Not sure about caustic brine, but it might also be an alternative if your oxygen levels are or can be made to be very low.
