  • This video is an overview of the production process that makes elemental bromine, Br2. Dr. Wesley Stites takes viewers on a guided tour of the chemical factory and discusses the basics of the chemistry of bromine. First in a series filmed at the Great Lakes Solutions plant in El Dorado, Arkansas and a useful introduction for other videos in the series. About half of the world's supply of bromine is produced in south Arkansas. Bromine, one of the halogens, is used in the production of chemicals such as drugs and is found in many products as part of flame retardants.

    I imagine energy production in the distant future will be so much more different. Lets pay attention to the elements for now. ✌️😎❤️

    I'm working in bromine plant in jordan and we use brine from dead sea

    • @chematwork9655

      That's great. The Dead Sea is the other major source of bromine (as you know Mohammad). Less pumping cost, but the brine isn't as hot.

      That's correct, we heated feed brine by tail brine and steam using three H.E

    How are the interhalogen species handled? Is there a significant contamination coming out of the column?

    • @wesleystites6784

      Not a problem. The redox potential strongly favors Br2 over BrCl.

      I don't believe it is. I didn't ask at the time. There are a number of steels that can handle wet chlorine, which is generally much more reactive than bromine, so if I had to guess it would be some similar high nickel content steel alloy, but that is pure speculation on my part.
