    Efficient Recovery of Bromine From Sea Bittern Using Phase Diagram

    This document summarizes a conference paper about efficiently recovering bromine from sea bittern using phase diagrams. The paper presents that bromine recovery from dilute bittern is not economically viable. It demonstrates through laboratory experiments and phase diagrams that bromine recovery can be increased by promoting carnallite formation over kainite, as carnallite processing recycles bromine whereas kainite loses over 25% of bromine. The key findings are that bromide recovery is highest when carnallite forms at higher concentrations in bittern compared to kainite, and that recovery can be enhanced by increasing the ratios of Mg2+ to K+ and Cl- to SO42- in bittern according to the phase diagrams.

    Abstract
    The mother liquor (Sp. gr. 1.251-1.262) after the recovery of common salt contains bromine typically in

    the range of 2.0-2.5 gL-1. The recovery from such dilute solution is not economically physible. The mixed

    salt like carnallite and kainite also contain bromide. The end bittern (enriched with magnesium chloride)

    is a mother liquor of mixed salt of a density from 37.2-37.30Bé (Sp. gr.1.347-1.348) contains on an

    average 119 gpl. of magnesium and 8.2 –8.4 gpl. of bromide. The recovery of bromine in the form of

    MgBr in end bittern is 75%, the rest of which losses in mixed salt as potassium bromide and magnesium

    bromide hexahydrate. The loss of bromine in kainite mixed is more than 25%. The losses are more in

    sel’s mixt and in crude salt and that cannot be recovered. Recovery of bromine can be increased if we

    promote carnallite formation, as subsequent carnallite processing for the recovery of potash will recycle

    bromine. The kainite mixed salt is crystallized out in the range of 34.5-35.0oBé (Sp. gr. 1.314-1.320)

    while that of carnallite at higher concentration at which point the bromide concentration in the bittern is

    the highest achievable without significant losses in solid precipitates. It is demonstrated by laboratory

    experiment and with the help of phase diagram of the K2Cl2/MgCl2/H2O saturated with NaCl and quinary

    system of NaCl + KCl + MgCl2 +MgSO4 + H2O that bromide recovery can be enhanced if carnallite

    formation is promoted by increasing the rations of [Mg2+] to [K+] and [Cl-] to [SO42-].
