Bromine

Bromine is a key chemical raw material and a major branch of marine chemical industry. Inorganic bromides, bromates, and organobromine compounds derived from it hold special value for national economy and technological development. It is primarily used to produce bromides, as analytical reagents, oxidants, absorbents for ethylene and heavy hydrocarbons, and brominating agents in organic synthesis. Bromine has widespread applications in flame retardants, fire extinguishing agents, refrigerants, photographic materials, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, oilfields, and other sectors.
