Process for removing available halogen from anolyte brine.

摘要

A process is disclosed for substantially reducing the dissolved halogen and hypohalite ion concentration in a recycled brine from a membrane electrolytic cell with a closed loop brine system comprising the addition of a non-sulfate generating reducing agent to the brine in a less than conventional stoichiometric molar quantity in relation to each mole of available halogen and hypohalite present in the brine after the steps of dehalogenation, precipitation and pH adjustment.
