Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to the conversion of sodium bromide to hydrobromic acid and sodium bisulfate with improved product quality and improved process economics. Process for the conversion of sodium bromide to anhydrous hydrobromic acid and sodium bisulfate, said process with the following sequential steps: reaction of sodium bromide and sulfuric acid in a solution of water to produce hydrobromic acid and sodium bisulfate wherein the conversion rate is greater than about 95%; separation of hydrobromic acid and water from the sodium bisulfate; separation of hydrobromic acid from water; and drying of hydrobromic acid.
