PRODUCT HISTORY

PRODUCT HISTORY

Bromine was discovered by two scientists working independently. In the Autumn of 1825, student Karl Lowig took a bottle of a reddish liquid with an unpleasant smell to the Laboratory of Medicine and Chemistry of Prof. L. Gemlin, at the University of Heidelberg. Lowig told Gemlin that the liquid, of mineral origin, resulted from the treatment with gaseouschlorine, thus explaining the red colour. The substance responsible for that red colour was extracted with the help of ether, giving origin to a pink liquid later known as bromine.Almost simultaneously, Antoine Balard, who was working in a pharmacy school in Montpellier, isolated a substance with the same properties of the liquid obtained by Lowig. At first he thought that it was achlorineoriodine compound. As he could not isolate the compound, he suggested to have found a new chemical element. Balard suggested the name "muride", from the Latin word "muria" for brine.The French Academy of Science, in turn, proposed the name "brome" from the Greek wordbromosmeaning stench to indicate its strong irritating odour.Bromine occurs in the hydrosphere mainly as soluble bromide salts. Its con-centration ranges from 65 mg/L in seawater up to 6.5 g/L in the southern basin of the Dead Sea. In 1826, Antoine-Jerome Balard in France published the discovery of bromine, which was isolated by chlorinating seawater bitterns and distilling out bromine. Bromine had been prepared earlier by Joss and Liebig but neither of them recognized it as an element. Around 1840 bromine wasused in photography. The rst mineral to contain bromine was apparently silver bromide, discovered in 1941 by Berthier. Its rst medical use was in 1857 when bromides were used for the treatment of epilepsy. The rst commercial bromine production from salt brines was in 1846 at Freeport, Pennsylvania. In 1858,potash was discovered in the Stassfurt salt deposits in Germany and bromine was a by-product from the potash production. Herbert Dow invented the blowing out process for Midland (Michigan) brines in 1889. The antiknock properties of tetraethyllead, (CH3CH2)4Pb, were discovered in 1921 and soon after ethylene dibromide, C2H4Br2, was found to aid the removal of leadfrom combustion chambers. At one time, 80% of all bromine was used to produce ethylene dibromide. Bromine was rst commercially extracted from sea-water in 1934, using the Dow process. The richest source of Br in the world is found in the Dead Sea brines, which contain up to 12 g/L of Br. Its commercial exploitation by DSBG started in 1957. In the 1950s, bromine was discovered in south Arkansas brines, the only significant source of bromine in the United States, with a bromine content of 25 g/L. The biggest single bromine plant was erected by the Dead Sea in Israel, and is operated by the Dead Sea Bromine Group (DSBG)

APPLICATIONS/ USES

Uses/Applications of Bromine In its liquid form, bromine is reddish-brown in colour. Its vapours give off a pungent smell and are reddish in colour. It was found that bromine is more soluble in carbon disulfide and solvents, like methanol and acetic acid than in the water. It needs only one electron to complete an octet of electron in its outermost shell. This enables it to take part in various chemical reactions and act as a strong oxidizing agent.

In Fire Retardant ChemicalsOne of the important bromine applications is in manufacturing brominated flame retardants. These are used as chemical flame retardants in the plastic industry and in products, such as cables, connectors, plastic covers. Bromine's flame retardant property is also employed to make products, like carpets, upholstery, paints and kitchen appliances safe. It is also used in the clothing and furniture industries, to prevent the products from catching fire. In the electronics industries, especially in computers, it is used to make fireproof printed circuit boards. Polybrominated diphenyl ether, polybrominated biphenyl, decabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromocyclododecane, tetrabromobisphenol are of flame retardant.

As a DisinfectantBromine is a bleaching agent, and is used to disinfect water in cooling towers and the swimming pools. In this case, bromine test strips are used to detect phenols and unsaturated double bond compounds as well as alkalinity, pH and hardness of water. In hospitals and commercial industries and homes, it is manly used as a sanitizer and a germicide to neutralize bacteria, algae and fungi. It is also employed as a sanitizer, in areas where there is less or no chances of it coming in contact with food. Bromine is also preferred for disinfection of industrial water.

In Water Purification CompoundsBromine can be found in products that are used in water purification systems. Tralomethrin is one such product used to purify drinking water. The amount of bromine present in water should not be more than 100mg/decilitre, which is its lowest toxic level. In PesticidesBromine is also used in agricultural products such as pesticides to destroy pests. It is most preferred to get rid of pests which targets crops, such as potatoes, tomatoes, etc. Methyl bromide, is a compound that acts as a fumigate. It is used to protect stored grains and other produces by destroying pests.

In Photography FilmThe most well-known use of bromine is in making photographic films. Silver bromide is light-sensitive and is used to manufacture photography plates. Its microscopic particles when exposed to light undergo a change as a result of chemical reaction. This property of silver bromide is responsible for the production of the image, when the photographic film is exposed to light when you click the shutter. Potassium bromide is used in photography, to prevent undesired reduction of silver, which causes fogging in a photograph.

IN medicinesBromine has been used as a drug, for a long time, in one or the other form. Primarily, chemical compounds derived from it are used as oral sedatives, to treat epilepsy and as diuretics. It is well-known for its central nervous system depressive role in bromide poisoning. In the past, as late as the start of 20th century, potassium bromide was used as a sedative. In DyesIt was in 1909, when a German chemist Paul Friedlander found that the Tyrian purple (red-purple to deep purple) contains bromine. In this form, it was known to man for hundreds of years. Tyrian purple dye is nothing but a chemical 6,6'-dibromoindigo. Another such dye used is tetra butyl ammonium bromide. These have many other applications in the textile industry.

Other UsesSalts of bromine formed with calcium, sodium, and zinc are water-soluble. The dense solution thus, formed is used as a drilling fluid while drilling boreholes.Ethidium bromide or EtBr is used as a DNA stainer, in the process of gel electrophoresis. Normally this chemical, under ultraviolet light, gives out orange-glow which intensifies, if EtBr binds with a DNA.Bromine is employed to reduce mercury pollution that the coal consuming power plants cause. Activated carbon and coal treated with bromine, does the trick.5-bromouracil, is used as an artificial mutagen which helps scientists in forcing the genetic materials, such as, DNA to change the bromides of the alkali and alkaline earth elements find usage in pharmacy because of their sedative actions, in photography for preparing silver bromideemulsions, and in the industrial drying of air as desiccants.Zincbromine storage batteries (qv) are under development as load-levellingdevices in electric utilities.Photovoltaic batteries have been made of selenium or boron doped with bromine.Bromine and its salts are known to recover gold and other precious metals from their ores.

SELECTION OF PROCESS

SELECTION OF PROCESSThe two primary stripping vapours are steam and air. Steam is used when the concentration of bromine in brine is>1000 ppm. The advantage is that bromine can be condensed directly from the steam. Air is used, when seawater is the source of bromine because very large volumes of stripping gas are needed and steam would be too expensive. When air is used the bromine needs to be trapped in an alkaline or reducing solution to concentrate it.Blowing-out ProcessBlowing-out process, used when the source of bromine is sea water, air is used instead of steam to strip bromine from solution. At the pH of seawater, the liberated bromine hydrolyzes to hypobromous acid and bromide. Bromide traps bromine as the tribromide ion and little bromine is released. Before stripping, enough sulphuric acid is added to the seawater to reduce the pH to 33.5. The exiting air containing bromine is absorbed in a sodium carbonate solution.3 Na2CO3 + 3 Br2 5 NaBr + NaBrO3+3 CO2When the alkalinity of the absorbing solution becomes low it is moved to storage. Acidifying the absorbing solution with sulphuric acid reconstitutes the bromine that can then be steamed out.NaBrO3 +5NaBr +3 H2SO43 Br2 + 3 Na2SO4+ 3 H2OAn alternative absorbing solution uses sulphur dioxide.Br2 + SO2 +2 H2O 2 HBr + H2SO4The bromine is recovered by oxidizing the bromide with chlorine and steaming it out of solution. Treatment with sulphuric acid and fractional distillation are the main methods used to purify bromine. It is especially important to reduce the water content to0.1ppm, a self-contained breathing apparatus can be used until the air supply gets low.

Safe production of bromineIn bromine production, as in any other production process in which bromine is involved strict safety rules have to be observed11, based on a thorough understanding of the hazards inherent in each of the processes, raw materials, intermediate products and products.

The following precautions should be taken:- All the production systems should be hermetically sealed.- All outputs of the system should be treated appropriately (products, by products, exhaust fumes, sewage and solid waste) to prevent compromising safety and endangering the environment.- Appropriate steps must be taken to prevent emission of toxic gases.- All parts of the installation must be constructed from bromine-resistant materials.

Safe handling of bromine leakage If an accident occurs and there is a bromine leakage, it is important to deal with the leakage immediately in such a way as to limit the harm done to people and the environment as much as possible. We saw how bromine is neutralized in the laboratory. Different considerations may be put forward for the establishment of suitable industrial bromine-neutralizing methods, adapted to large-scale processes. The use of larger quantities of material requires that serious thought be given to such questions as: - Ease of handling - Availability of neutralizing agents - Costs - Reaction enthalpy.Safe storage of bromine Safe storage of materials is an important issue, which over the years has itself become a special expertise. Storage rules and methods must comply with the particular properties of each material, its reactions with other materials and the different hazards involved. The properties of bromine also have an important bearing on its storage: - The volatility of bromine dictates the need to store it in a place protected from external damage. - Its oxidizing capacity dictates the need to avoid contact with reducing agents, organic compounds and combustible materials. - Its highly corrosive action in the presence of water dictates the need to store it in a dry place and to build storage tanks with suitable resistant coating. - Its ability to form light-induced free radicals requires storage in a dark place. - In addition there are other requirements, such as: protection against static electricity, etc.Safe transportation of bromineAccidents in which toxic materials are involved, and plants producing such materials, quickly make headlines and are widely publicized. Usually these accidents are caused by carelessness, negligence or human error. Many accidents during transportation of hazardous materials occur as a result of speeding. These accidents could have been prevented if everybody involved in the transportation of materials in general, and hazardous materials in particular, had obeyed the rules that apply to them. Transportation of hazardous materials requires particular expertise and bromine is no exception. International and local transportation of bromine is subject to international control and regulations on transportation of hazardous materials.Bromine is transported in liquid form, but its volatility and toxicity demand that it be transported in the safest possible way, with complete sealing of the transporters and precautions against the danger of bromine leakage to the air.Safe use of bromine Bromine is used for many purposes in research and industry. All safety rules observed during the production, storage and transportation of bromine must also be obeyed during its handling and use. Every customer who uses large amounts of bromine must have an unloading station. The bromine is unloaded while connected to the isotank or the container of the absorption tower to prevent bromine vapours escaping into the air. Emptying of the isotank is monitored by weighing or by watching through a glass window. When all the bromine is removed, the colour of the windows changes from brownish-red to a light hue. At any such unloading station suitable neutralizing materials and protective equipment must be available.

SITE SELECTION

SITE SELECTIONSelected Site Badlapur The location of the plant has a very significant effect on the profitability of a project and the scope for future expansion. The following are the factors which were examined for our site selection.Raw Material supplyThis is one of the most important aspect to be examined to finalize a site. The availability of raw materials for NaBr & HBr at the above selected site is discussed below. A) NaBr: NaBr is obtained from pharmaceutical and fertilizer industry as an effluent. These industries are situated in the nearby area so obtaining raw material is a very easy task.B) Chlorine in quantitative terms chlorine is the largest required raw material. Chlorine is obtained from nearby plants in the MIDC regionC) Steam is easily available from boilers.Location with respect of marketing areaLiquid Bromine is chiefly used in pharmaceutical indistries in manufacturing of plastisicers as additive I hydraulic fluids, in lubricants amongst others. The badlapur region and the Mumbai Ahmadabad industrial belt offer a very good potential market for the product. Therefore the site is well located with respect to marketing area. Transport facility.Therefore transport facility is easily available for raw materials, products and equipments. The proximity to railways also plays an important role in selecting this site.

Availability of labourThe labour for plant construction and operation is readily available locally and cheaply. Also due to its proximity to education center like Mumbai and being an already developed industrial area it attracts semi skilled plant operators and managers from neighbors statesAvailability of UtilitiesThe site is located near chikhaloli dam thus; water and power are supplied at reasonable rates. Also the availability of fuel is no problem due to excellent facilities.Availability of suitable landBadlapur being an industrial zone, acquiring land is not difficult. The land soil has a good bearing capacity and not terrain.Local community considerationThe proposed plant would be acceptable to the local community since it is a chemical zone. Also the plant is solely located away from the residential area. Adequate schools, banks, housing, recreational and cultural faculties are available for the plant employees near the site. Also there are no significant inter community tension. Climate The region experiences moderate to hot climate throughout the year and seasonal rainfall. It is not prone to high winds or earthquakes. Political and strategic consideration There are no restrictions on development of industry at the location as it is allocated for industrial development.
