Hydrogen bromide

Hydrogen bromide is a colorless, fuming gas at room temperature with a sharp, acrid odor; it is highly soluble in water, forming hydrobromic acid, and has a boiling point of −67 °C and a melting point of −87 °C. It is classified as an inorganic acid and a hydrogen halide. Industrially, hydrogen bromide serves primarily as a reagent and catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in bromination reactions and the preparation of alkyl bromides. Its main applications are in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, including flame retardants and photographic compounds.

(1) Hydrogen bromide is the basic raw material for the manufacture of a variety of inorganic bromide (Such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide, lithium bromide and calcium bromide and so on) and some alkyl bromide (Such as methyl bromide, bromoethane and so on). It is used in medicine to synthesize the synthesis of sedatives and anesthetics, etc. and also is a good solvent for some metal minerals, used in the refinement of high purity metals. In the petroleum industry, it is used as the separation of alkoxy and phenoxy compounds, and a catalyst for the oxidation of cyclic hydrocarbons and chain hydrocarbons to ketones, acid or peroxide. Also used in synthetic dyes and spices.(2) For the manufacture of inorganic and organic bromide; also used for synthetic perfumes, dyes and so on.(3) For the refinement of high purity and bromide synthesis, also used as analytical reagents(4) Determination of sulfur, selenium, bismuth, zinc and iron. Separation of tin from arsenic and antimony. Alkylation catalyst. Reducing agent. Organic Synthesis. Preparation of organic and inorganic bromides. High purity metal refining.(5) It is the basic raw material for the manufacture of a variety of inorganic bromide (Such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide, lithium bromide and calcium bromide and so on ) and some alkyl bromide (Such as methyl bromide, bromoethane and so on).

In the petroleum industry, it is used as the separation of alkoxy and phenoxy compounds, and a catalyst for the oxidation of cyclic hydrocarbons and chain hydrocarbons to ketones, acid or peroxide. Also used in synthetic dyes and spices. It is used in the manufacture of various bromine compounds, can also be used for medicine, dyes, spices and other industries. For the purification of high purity and synthesis of bromide, and also for analysis reagents. For the manufacture of inorganic and organic bromide; also used for synthetic perfumes, dyes and so on.(6) Used as analytical reagent. Determination of sulfur and selenium, separation of tin from arsenic and antimony, determination of bismuth, zinc and iron, alkylation catalyst.
Colorless or light yellow liquid, slightly smoke. Soluble in chlorobenzene, diethoxymethane and other organic solvents. Can be miscibled with water, alcohol, acetic acid.
