Water is disinfected by dissolving a bromide, for example sodium bromide, in the water and subjecting the resulting solution to the action of an operative electrolytic cell to generate bromine therein. If a combination of bromide and chloride is dissolved in the water the production of bromine proceeds non-electrochemically, under the oxidising influence of the chlorine generated by means of the cell and the chloride is regenerated. These techniques are particularly suitable for the disinfection of swimming pools. |
