The neutralisation of spent sulphuric acid from chlorine drying with virgin reagents is not BAT.\nTechnique\nDescription\nApplicability\na\nUse on site or off site\nThe spent acid is used for other purposes, such as to control the pH in process and waste water, or to destroy surplus hypochlorite.\nApplicable to sites with an on-site or off-site demand for spent acid of this quality.\nb\nReconcentration\nThe spent acid is reconcentrated on site or off site in closed-loop evaporators under vacuum by indirect heating or by strengthening using sulphur trioxide.\nOff-site reconcentration is restricted to sites where a service provider is located nearby.\nThe BAT-associated environmental performance level for the quantity of spent sulphuric acid sent for disposal, expressed as H2SO4 (96 wt-%), is ≤ 0,1 kg per tonne of chlorine produced.",
