Process and method for recovery of halogens

摘要

An apparatus for the recovery of a halogen or pseudohalogens from a halide compound in solution; wherein the apparatus includes; an electrochemical cell including, an electrode assembly including at least a first and second electrodes in communication with a controller for providing a current to at least two of said electrodes; wherein, upon delivery of a current sufficient to generate a predetermined voltage measured between one of the said electrodes and a reference electrode placed in said solution in close proximity to the said electrode said halide compound is oxidised at one or more said electrodes to form a halogen corresponding to said halide in solution whereupon said halogen is deposited on said one or more electrode upon completion of oxidation.
