摘要:
Processes are provided for conjointly producing Br2 and a concentrated aqueous solution containing at least about 5 wt % CaCI2, based on the weight of the concentrated aqueous solution, from an aqueous HBr rich stream and, optionally, a feed brine dilute in CaCI2. Such processes can comprise feeding the aqueous HBr-rich stream and the feed brine to a tower, oxidizing bromide moieties within the tower with Cl2 to produce Br2, recovering Br2 from the tower, removing a bromide-depleted bottoms from the tower, such bottoms containing HCI, adding a Ca++ source to the bromide-depleted bottoms to convert substantially all of the HCI in the bottoms to CaCI2, and, as necessary, removing water from the treated bottoms to produce the concentrated aqueous solution.

Processes for producing C2+ hydrocarbons are provided. Such processes use Br2, HBr, and/or heat that are produced by such processes, thus providing commercially efficient processes. The process can comprise (a) producing HBr and methyl bromide using a bromine source and a gas stream comprising methane; (b) heating the methyl bromide in the presence of a catalyst to produce additional HBr and C2+ hydrocarbons; (c) combining at least some of the HBr and an oxygen source in the presence of a cerium-containing compound at least about 315° C. to produce Br2; and (d) using at least some of the produced Br2 from (c) as at least a portion of the bromine source in (a). Additionally, the additional HBr from (b) can be used in (c) and/or heat can be recovered from (c) and used to provide at least some of the heating in (a), (b), or both.

Ultraviolet light stabilized antimicrobial compositions are formed from (A) and (B). (A) is (I) a solid-state microbiocidal compound having at least one bromine atom in the molecule; (II) an aqueous solution or slurry of (I); (III) is a concentrated aqueous antimicrobial composition having a dissolved active bromine content derived from (i) BrCl or BrCl and Br2 and (ii) overbased alkali metal sulfamate and/or sulfamic acid, alkali metal base, and water, (IV) solids made by dewatering a composition of (III). (B) is a ultraviolet light degradation-inhibiting amount of up to one part by weight of ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid and/or an edible water-soluble salt/ester thereof per part by weight of bromine in the selected antimicrobial composition.
