[0002] Halogens are a class of nonmetallic elements, including fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). The preparation of these elements typically involves complex chemical reaction processes, such as electrolysis, chemical methods, and thermal decomposition. The preparation of halogens from flue gas brine is actually a staged process. First, the brine is purified using flue gas to remove impurity ions and improve its purity. Then, the purified brine is used as raw material to prepare the desired halogens through electrolysis, chemical methods, or thermal decomposition. However, existing halogen preparation systems produce only one type of halogen and have low efficiency in utilizing flue gas, resulting in low efficiency in flue gas recovery and utilization.
