- Bromine is the
only Liquid nonmetallic element at room temperature. It is a heavy,
mobile, reddish-brown liquid, that evaporates easily at standard
temperature and pressures in a red vapor (its color resembles nitrogen
dioxide) that has a strong disagreeable odor resembling that of
chlorine.
- Seawater
contains 65 parts per million (ppm) bromine, which translates into 100
trillion tons of elemental bromine.
- Elemental
Bromine is used to manufacture a wide variety of Bromine compounds used
in industry and agriculture. Traditionally the largest use of Bromine
was in the production of 1,2-Dibromoethane which in turn was used as a
gasoline anti-knock agent for leaded gasolines before they were largely
phased out due to environmental considerations.
- Bromine is used
to make brominated vegetable oil, which is used as an emulsifier in many
citrus-flavored soft drinks. Aqueous Bromine is orange and can be used
in tests for alkenes and phenols.
- Bromine is also
used in making fumigants, flameproofing agents, water purification
compounds, dyes, medicinals, sanitizes, inorganic bromides for
photography, etc. It is also used to form intermediates in organic
synthesis, where it is preferred to iodine due to its much lower
cost.
- Other promising
new sectors for bromine include swimming pool disinfectants, industrial
water treatment, air conditioning absorption systems and precious metal
leaching.
- Normally,
bromine is stored in amber-coloured glass containers or glass-lined
steel tanks, but dry bromine can be stored in well-designed lead-lined
or monel drums.
- Most of the
bromine produced in the United States was used in the manufacture of
ethylene dibromide(C2H4Br2), a chemical added to leaded gasolines that
prevented the accumulation of lead compounds within the engine.
- Current bromine
production methods are based on modified Kubierschky or steaming out
processes and the Dow chemicals blowing out process.
- Bromine
producers have formed the Bromine Science and Environmental Forum to
tout the safety and value of bromine products, including bromine based
flame retardants.
- Bromine is
corrosive to human tissue in a liquid state and its vapors irritate eyes
and throat. Bromine vapors are very toxic with inhalation.
- Albemarle, Great
Lakes and Dead Sea Bromine in Israel account for more than 80 percent of
world bromine capacity.
