I can't get sodium bromide pure otc so i'm wondering if I can seperate chlorine asichlorosicyanurate and sodium bromide from each other that I can
obtain OTC or another product that has sodium dichloroisocyanurate and sodium bromide.
And what is that?draculic acid69 - 12-12-2022 at 21:52
I'm guessing that the mix you want to seperate is the common pool/spa chems.
Over here we have tcca & sodium bromide and I'm pretty sure acetone will dissolve the tcca & leave the NaBr behind. If you have the sodium
dichloroisocyanurate your down to pretty much trying to use water to separate the two. No idea how effective it would be. Or if elemental bromine is
what you want it for then maybe just bubble chlorine thrua solution of both and distill out the bromineTexium - 13-12-2022 at 06:58
Terrible reckless advice! Sounds like an excellent way to
make chloroacetone if not a runaway that burns down your lab…woelen - 14-12-2022 at 05:05
I agree with Texium. Too dangerous. Acetone and TCCA can react violently with each other and the mix may even ignite.
If you want the bromine from the mix, then I would try adding the material to dilute HCl and distill off any bromine. The other main reaction product
is cyanuric acid, and that remains behind. Keep in mind that this reaction is quite annoying, the cyanuric acid is only sparingly soluble in water and
tends to form a foam, when the solution is boiled. At least, the reaction is safe and one does not need to fear a violent reaction or even fire. When
distilling bromine, do this outside, or in a good fume hood.
