Production Process of Tetrabromobisphenol A
The extensive Tetrabromobisphenol A production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- Production from Bisphenol A and Bromine: The production process of Tetrabromobisphenol A starts with the reaction of bisphenol-A with bromine in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst in a by-phase system consisting of water and water-immiscible organic solvents to produce Tetrabromobisphenol A.
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a chemical that reduces the risk of fire and is mainly used in the production of electronic parts, printed circuit boards, and other consumer items. It is a bromine-based flame retardant that is created by mixing bisphenol A (BPA) with bromine. The molecular formula of Tetrabromobisphenol A is C15H12Br4O2, and its molecular weight is 543.8 g/mol. It is a white crystalline solid and is odorless. It is insoluble in water, whereas it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and methanol. The boiling point and melting point are 250 °C and 178 °C, respectively. The density of Tetrabromobisphenol A is 2.12 g·cm−3 (20 °C).
