DaveH24 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi My understanding is that sunlight destroys bromine, but what actually happens to it is it reduced back to bromide reserve or does it actually disappear ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem geek Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes, it is reduced back to the bromide reserve. This is similar to what happens to chlorine since it gets broken down to chloride though that's only a "reserve" if you've got a saltwater chlorine generator since regular oxidizers don't oxidize chloride to chlorine.
