Electrolytic cell and process for removal of bromide ions and disinfection of source waters using silver cathode and/or dimensionally stable anode (DSA): a process for the reduction of disinfectant/disinfection byproducts in drinking water
Electrolytic cell and process for removal of bromide ions and disinfection of source waters using silver cathode and/or dimensionally stable anode (DSA): a process for the reduction of disinfectant/disinfection byproducts in drinking water
Electrolytic process combines disinfection with removal of bromide from raw water. Current is applied to the electrodes in an electrolytic cell with raw water that has some salinity as the electrolyte. The electrodes consist of silver or dimensionally stable anodes (DSA) as cathodes and dimensionally stable anodes (DSA) arranged in parallel baffling fashion. During electrolysis chloride is converted to chlorine. The chlorine immediately effects disinfection of the water and reduction of bromide ions to bromine gas which is liberated from the cell. Aqueous bromine will remain in solution as hypobromous acid. The extent of chlorine generation and bromide loss depend upon the chloride:bromide ratio, electrical energy supplied for electrolysis, ionic strength of the water, electrode distance, cell residence time and electrode material.
