The invention relates to a method for extracting
bromine from
bromine-containing
wastewater, which comprises the following steps: pretreatment: filtering the
bromine-containing
wastewater so that the
turbidity of the filtered bromine-containing
wastewater is lower than the preset value; acidification: adding
hydrochloric acid or
sulfuric acid into industrial wastewater containing
bromide ions to adjust the pH value of the industrial wastewater to 3-5; oxidation: adding an
oxidizing agent into the acidified industrial wastewater for oxidation to generate bromine; extraction: adopting n-
dodecane as an extraction agent, and extracting bromine from an aqueous phase to an n-
dodecane phase; liquid separation: performing liquid separation on the two-phase solution added with the extraction agent, wherein the upper layer is an
oil phase, and the lower layer is an aqueous phase; separating the aqueous phase from the
oil phase; rectification: rectifying the n-
dodecane and bromine solution obtained by the liquid separation so that bromine is separated from n-dodecane to obtain a bromine product. In the method provided by the invention, bromine is extracted by a
solvent extraction process; compared with the traditional technology, the use of steam is greatly saved, the cost of whole bromine extraction is remarkably reduced, and better
economic benefits are obtained.
