Abstract

Polybromide resin beads for disinfecting potable water are stabilized as to bromide content by: PA1 (A) initially charging excess bromine into an aqueous slurry of quaternary ammonium amine exchange resin beads; PA1 (B) removing external moisture to provide moist sticky beads; PA1 (C) passing gaseous drying agent at controlled temperature and velocity effective to gradually remove internal moisture and excess bromine; and PA1 (D) continuing the gradual drying until dry, free-flowing beads having less than 5% water and 17 to 47% bromine are obtained.
