Bromine Recovery

Technical Packages :

Bromine is available in the sea bittern, as well as Industrial waste e.g. Aq. HBr / Aq. NaBr / Aq. KBr. The Bromine concentration in the feedstock varies from 2 gpl to 300 gpl from industry to industry

Goel Offer suitable bromine recovery plant for the various feedstock based on his 20 years expertise in this field. Goel suggest cold process for bromine concentration below 3 gpl and Hot process above 3 gpl.

The package considered is schematically shown in drawing enclosed herewith

The process consists of simultaneous chlorination & steam blowing. The feed stock acidic in nature is preheated to near its boiling in feed pre heater and then fed to the main column where steam and chlorine are blown simultaneously. The bromine as set free by chlorine are steam distilled. The liberated bromine together with steam and some excess chlorine is condensed in the condenser. The condensate is taken to a gravity separator where bromine and bromine water are separated. While bromine is taken in the purification column the aq. layer is recycled into the main column. Crude bromine is purified under reflux and pure bromine is collected in the receiver. All uncondensed vapour pass through the tail scrubber to recover the last traces of bromine
