Title: Bromide reduction process in liquid solutions
Inventor: SCHULTZ MURRAY
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2005-11-23
Abstract: The invention provides a method for reducing bromine levels in brine solutions such as potassium chloride brine solutions. Bromide in solution is converted to bromine-containing compound by the addition of an oxidant such as sodium hypochlorite. The bromine-containing compound is precipitated by the addition of a metal cation such as magnesium under conditions of basic pH. The process is pH dependent such that the most efficient removal of bromine is achieved at a sodium hydroxide concentration of 90 - 200 mM. The pH optimum is also temperature dependent such that increased temperature lowers the optimal pH for bromide removal. The invention further provides a bromine-reduced potassium chloride product, suitable for uses in industrial applications. By the method of the invention bromine levels in a potassium chloride feed stock can be reduced by 97% or more.
