Bromine is a chemical element with symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured gas. Its properties are thus intermediate between those of chlorine and iodine.
Application:
Used as fumigants in the form of alkaline bromides.
Preparation of organic intermediates for manufacture of dyes and a host of organic compounds.
Used in the form of bromocyanogen for treating ores of gold.
As catalyst in alkylation and isomerisation reactions in the form aluminium bromide.
Used in antiknock gasoline as ethylene dibromide with tetraethyl lead.
Alkali bromides such as bromochloroethane find use as fire extinguisher.
Bromides of sodium & potassium used in pharmaceutical industries as mild safe sedatives.
Silver bromides are used in photographic industry.
Lithium and calcium bromides are used as efficient desiccants.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:
1. Bromine percentage by mass (min) 99.70%
2. Chlorine percentage by mass (max) 0.30%
3. Iodine percentage by mass (max) 0.05%
4. Non-volatile matter percentage by mass NaCl (max) 0.05%
5. Sulphate as SO4-2, percentage by mass (max) 0.015%
