  • Bromide removal
    Patent number: 6428677
    Abstract: A chlorination system in which brine is converted to sodium hypochlorite by an electrolyser. Brine (1) fed to the electrolyser (3) is passed through a filter (2) which is capable of adsorbing bromine or hypobromous acid. Some of the sodium hypochlorite produced in an electrolyser (3) is fed back to a point in the brine feed upstream of the filter (2) such that any bromide in the brine is oxidized to bromine or hypobromous acid and therefore adsorbed by the filter (2).
