A process includes supplying a bromide brine and removing organic compounds from the bromide brine. The method also includes acidifying the bromide brine to form a stream containing hydrobromic acid and separating the hydrobromic acid from the stream containing hydrobromic acid.

The disclosure relates in its first aspect to a process of conversion of a gaseous stream comprising methane into hydrogen (51) and carbon (25), the process is remarkable in that it comprises a step (a) of providing a first gaseous stream (3, 7); a step (b) of bromination and synthesis in which the first gaseous stream (3, 7) is put in contact with a second stream (53) comprising bromine resulting in the formation of a third stream (15) comprising methyl bromides and hydrogen bromide, and of a fourth stream (25) comprising carbon including graphite and/or carbon black; a step (c) of separation performed on the third stream (15) to recover a hydrogen bromide-rich stream (41) which is then oxidized in a step (d) to produce a stream (51) comprising hydrogen. The second aspect relates to the installation for performing the process of the first aspect and the third aspect concerns the use of bromine in such process.

The invention relates to the field of efficient separation and recovery of bromine by full wet method, especially to a two-step separating method of bromide and recovery of lead and zinc from printed circuit board Incineration ash. It mainly includes first sodium hydroxide alkaline leaching, secondary sodium peroxide alkaline leaching, pH adjustment, separate lead and zinc, bromide evaporation and crystallization to recover crude bromide and other steps. Compared with traditional comprehensive recovery process of ash, the invention uses sodium hydroxide to dissolve bromide, lead and zinc, and uses the strong oxidation of sodium peroxide in alkaline environment, copper bromide and other bromine are oxidized and leached; through two-step method, the efficient leaching of bromine, lead and zinc is realized, silver and other precious metals are enriched at the same time. It is beneficial to subsequent recovery of precious metals and has the characteristics of short tail liquid discharge.
