Seperating chlorine asichlorosicyanurate and sodium bromide


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.

Thanks!

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 bromine

Terrible reckless advice! Sounds like an excellent way to make chloroacetone if not a runaway that burns down your lab…

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.
