The key components of a bromine recovery system and how they work

Bromine is a highly reactive and volatile chemical element that is widely used in various industrial applications. It is used in the manufacturing of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, and water purification agents. However, the recovery of bromine from industrial effluent is a challenging task due to its volatile nature and toxic properties. A bromine recovery system is, therefore, essential to recover and reuse the bromine present in industrial wastewater. In this blog, we will discuss the key components of a bromine recovery system and how they work. Bromine Recovery System Components: Reactor Tank: The first component of a bromine recovery system is the reactor tank, where the industrial effluent is first collected and mixed with a reducing agent, such as sodium bisulfite or sodium sulfite. This chemical reaction converts the bromine present in the effluent into a non-volatile form that can be easily recovered. Bromine Scrubber: The next component of the bromine recov...
