An Experimental Study on Desalination Brine for Electrolytic Chlorination

Abstract:

A power plant in Hebei province aimed to use sodium hypochlorite as fungicide for the circulating water in its seawater electrolysis system by recycling desalination brine. The feasibility of this process was intensively studied using water quality analysis, electrochemical corrosion tests, and dynamic simulation tests. The results showed that this process is more efficient than that using seawater and would not aggravate the corrosion problem that is present in the current system. Scale produced by the electrolysis can be completely removed by acid-washing.
