Specification parameters

essential information

An aqueous solution of hydrogen bromide gas. Has a stimulating sour taste. Slightly emitting smoke. When exposed to light, exposed to air, or stored for a long time, it gradually turns yellow to brown. Has strong reducibility. Can react with methyl to form bromomethane, react with base to form bromide, and react with amine to form hydrobromide. Can be miscible with water and ethanol.
Relative densities of 1.49 (47%) and 1.38 (40%). Melting point -87 ℃ (anhydrous). Boiling point -67 ℃ (anhydrous), 126 ℃ (47.5%). Refractive index (n20D) 1.438.
Low toxicity, median lethal concentration (rat, inhaled) 2.858G/L/1h. It has strong corrosiveness.

application area Determination of sulfur, selenium, bismuth, zinc, and iron. Separate tin from arsenic and antimony. Alkylation catalyst. Reducing agent. Organic synthesis. Preparation of organic and inorganic bromides. High purity metal extraction.
Used for manufacturing various bromine compounds, as well as for industries such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, and fragrances;
It is the basic raw material for manufacturing various inorganic bromides such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide, lithium bromide, and calcium bromide, as well as certain alkyl bromides such as bromomethane and bromoethane.
Used in medicine to synthesize sedatives and anesthetics.
It is also a good solvent for some metal minerals, used for the extraction of high-purity metals.

Packaging, Storage, Transportation, and Safety

Safety measures:

Leakage: Quickly evacuate personnel from the contaminated area to a safe zone, isolate them, and strictly restrict their entry and exit. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure respirators and acid and alkali resistant work clothes. Do not come into direct contact with the leaked material. Cut off the leakage source as much as possible to prevent it from entering restricted spaces such as sewers and drainage ditches.
Minor leakage: Mix sand, dry lime, or soda ash. You can also rinse with a large amount of water, dilute the washing water, and put it into the wastewater system.
Massive leakage: constructing embankments or digging pits for containment; Transfer to a tanker or dedicated collector using a pump, and recycle or transport to a waste disposal site for disposal.
