Bromine Recovery Plant From Bittern Or Industrial Effluent

The process involves reacting aqueous bromide solution with chlorine vapor in a reaction column to liberate elemental bromine. This bromine is then stripped out using live steam from the column bottom, followed by distillation to achieve a minimum 99.5% purity. However, organic contaminants in feeds require pre-treatment. The plant typically includes a stripping column, heat exchangers, phase separator, purification column, collection pot, reboiler, and scrubber with Borosilicate glass and PTFE components for corrosion resistance, even at high temperatures.
