Aluminium bromide is an inorganic compound that is used as a catalyst in Friedel–Crafts reactions. It helps in the alkylation and acylation of aromatic compounds, which is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and dyes. It works as a brominating agent that introduces bromine atoms into organic molecules. It is used for making brominated intermediates that are utilized in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

It is also employed in the cleavage of ether bonds and catalyzing rearrangement reactions like the Beckmann and Fries rearrangements. It is used in the polymer industry as a catalyst for the polymerization of olefins and other hydrocarbons. It is employed in the formulation of antiperspirants and deodorants because of its astringent properties and compatibility with various solvents. It is also used in the synthesis of advanced materials like aluminium hydrides and borides.

Feedstock for Aluminium Bromide

The production of aluminium bromide utilizes aluminium metal,  hydrogen bromide, and liquid bromine as the first line of raw materials. The changes in the market dynamics of these major feedstocks affect the manufacturing of aluminium bromide.

The procurement of aluminium metal is influenced by its supply and demand in industries like automotive, aerospace, construction and building materials, packaging, electrical and electronics, consumer durables, furniture manufacturing, and transportation. Aluminium production is highly energy-intensive, and changes in electricity prices contribute to its production costs. The changes in the costs and availability of its raw materials, like bauxite (geopolitical risk and political instability in major producing regions disrupt bauxite supply chains and impact its prices), alumina (fluctuations in energy prices affect procurement costs of alumina), etc., impact its production costs.

The procurement of hydrogen bromide (another major feedstock used in the manufacturing of aluminium bromide) is influenced by its demand from industries like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, electronics (notably semiconductor manufacturing), and energy storage. It is corrosive in nature and needs proper handling and transporting, which requires specialized logistics and strict adherence to safety regulations, adding to its procurement costs. The availability of raw materials like bromine (fluctuations in oil prices impact bromine production costs) and hydrogen (the requirement for investment in specialized infrastructure and technology affects hydrogen procurement) governs its production costs.

Liquid bromine is another major raw material used in the production of aluminium bromide. The availability of its raw materials, like brine and seawater, along with energy prices (especially oil and natural gas), production levels, and extraction costs, affects its production costs. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like flame retardants, oil and gas drilling, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, water treatment, electronics, construction, polyester, and PET production etc., impact its availability. Strict environmental and regulatory standards imposed by the EU REACH act, as well as growing focus on sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives, further influence its procurement strategies.
 

Market Drivers for Aluminium Bromide

The market for aluminium bromide is affected by its use as a catalyst in chemical synthesis. Its usage in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, intermediates, and crop protection chemicals contributes to its market growth. Its utilization in specialty chemical manufacturing and as a catalyst in organic reactions boosts its demand. The growing need for flame retardants and their application in oil and gas drilling fluids also contributes to their market expansion. Its usage in the electronics industry for the fabrication of high-performance materials and semiconductors fuels its demand.

It has a low toxicity and an eco-friendly profile that makes it a sustainable option in these applications. Its market in the Asia-Pacific region is fueled by its applications in pharmaceuticals, water treatment, flame retardants, and oil drilling. The North American market is driven by advanced research infrastructure and a strong base in pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals, along with innovation and strict regulatory standards. Europe’s market is shaped by a strong focus on sustainability and compliance with strict chemical regulations, which drives its demand in pharmaceuticals and specialty materials.

The CAPEX for aluminium bromide production facility includes the cost of corrosion-resistant reactor vessels (glass-lined or Hastelloy), gas scrubbers, condensers, sublimation systems, and vacuum pumps. It also includes distillation columns, feeders, bromine storage tanks with jacketed cooling, HBr gas cylinder banks, and a moisture-proof storage bin. Metering pumps, chillers, compressed air/nitrogen systems, automation panels (PLC/SCADA), explosion-proof electricals, fume hoods, gas detection systems, and fire suppression units are also covered under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes recurring costs for raw materials (aluminium powder and bromine or hydrogen bromide) and utility expenses like electricity, water, and nitrogen or inert gases. It also includes wages for skilled labor required for managing hazardous materials, and maintenance costs for scrubbers, gaskets, seals, and metering systems. Neutralizing agents for the scrubbers, PPE, emergency systems, and gas leak monitoring devices are also covered under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Aluminium Bromide manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Aluminium Bromide manufacturing.

• From Aluminium Metal and Hydrogen Bromide: The feedstock for this process includes aluminium metal and hydrogen bromide.

The manufacturing process of aluminium bromide involves a reaction between aluminium metal and hydrogen bromide. In this process, aluminium metal reacts with hydrogen bromide gas, which forms aluminium bromide that exists as a dimer. The reaction solution is heated, which breaks down dimeric aluminium bromide into its monomeric form. Finally, the product is separated and purified to get pure aluminium bromide as the final product.

• From Aluminium and Liquid Bromine: The feedstock for this process includes aluminium with liquid bromine.

The production of aluminium bromide involves a reaction between powdered aluminium and liquid bromine. In this process, powdered aluminium is reacted with liquid bromine, which leads to an exothermic reaction. This reaction results in the formation of aluminium bromide as the final product.
 

Properties of Aluminium Bromide

Aluminium bromide has a molecular formula of AlBr3 and a molecular weight of 266.69 g/mol. It is a white to light yellow crystalline solid with a pungent odor and a density of about 3.2 g/cm. It is highly hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture from the air. It has a melting point of 97.5 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 255 degree Celsius. It is highly soluble in water and various organic solvents, but it reacts vigorously to release hydrogen bromide gas and forming aluminium hydroxide. It is a strong Lewis acid that makes it an effective catalyst in organic synthesis. In its solid state and in non-coordinating solvents, it exists as a dimer, but at elevated temperatures, it dissociates into a monomeric form. It is thermally stable up to 400 degree Celsius and forms various coordination complexes. It is highly reactive with moisture, alcohols, and acids. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in industrial and laboratory applications.
