BOROSILICATE GLASSWARE - Bromine Recovery Plant

 

Bromine being a highly reactive material, finds wide applications in many chemical industries like Organic Intermediates, dyestuffs, agrochemical, fire retardants etc. During Bromingation not more than half the bromine added ends up in the reaction. The rest being rejected/discarded as bromides. Good economic sense suggests recovery of Bromine out of these bromides.

We have been engineering Bromine Recovery system for a very long time and now are in a position to solve problems associated with Bromine Recovery Systems.

Not only we have the technology but also the material of construction, Borosilicate glass, which is inert to all concentrations of Bromine.

Aqueous Bromide solution is reacted with chlorine vapour in reaction column.  The Chlorine liberates elemental bromine from the dissolved bromide. This is stripped out by live steam feed from the bottom of column.

Crude bromine is then distilled to get Bromine purity of minimum 99.5%. The solution is not always so simple though, as feeds are often containmated with organic material from process. These contaminated have to be removed by pre-treatment.
