METHOD FOR THE REMOVAL AND RECYCLING OF BROMIDE FROM AQUEOUS STREAMS TO PRODUCE BROMINATED OILS

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the removal of bromide from aqueous solutions to produce brominated oils, comprising: combining in a reaction vessel bromide-containing aqueous solution and one or more unsaturated compounds selected from the group consisting of unsaturated fatty acids, esters of unsaturated fatty acids and mixtures thereof; oxidizing the bromide in an acidic environment to generate elemental bromine, wherein the bromine adds to the carbon- carbon double bonds of said unsaturated compound(s); and separating the reaction mixture to bromide-depleted aqueous phase and brominated oily phase.
