Uses-Bromine is used for bleaching fibers and silk, as a disinfectant for purifying water, in the manufacture of bromo compounds for dyes and pharmaceutical uses, as an analytical reagent, and in organic synthesis. It occurs in igneous rock and seawater. A major use is as a gasoline additive called ethylene dibromide, antiknock agent that removes lead additives from automobile engines after the combustion of leaded gasoline, thus preventing the lead from forming deposits in the engine. The lead prevents premature burning of the gas/air mixture in the engine’s cylinders that causes the “knocking” sound in the engine. The lead combines with the bromine to form lead bromide, a volatile gas, which is expelled through the car’s exhaust system. Ethylene dibromide is a potent carcinogen. Since the introduction of lead free gasoline, this use has declined in importance; recently, other chemicals have been substituted for the lead as an additive in gasoline. Methyl bromide is used as a pesticide, which is very effective against parasitic nematodes (e.g., hookworms). Silver bromide is used in photography. Compounds of bromide are used as flame-retardants, water purifiers, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Bromine has many applications when it is combined with organic compounds. For example, it is used as a reagent to study the organic reactions of many other compounds. It is also used as a disinfectant, a fumigant, and a sedative.
