Bromine belongs to the halogen group of elements and is used in the synthesis of flame retardants. It improves fire safety in products like electronics, textiles, and building materials. It works by releasing bromine radicals during combustion that disrupt the chemical reactions that sustain fire, reducing flame intensity and spread.

It is utilized in water treatment and disinfection in swimming pools, spas, and industrial water systems. It helps to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and algae, even at higher temperatures. It is employed in the oil and gas industry to clear brine fluids used for drilling and well completion.

It is used in the pharmaceutical sector for synthesizing inorganic and organic bromine compounds. It also finds its application in advanced energy storage technologies like zinc-bromine flow batteries. It is utilized in agriculture as a fumigant but needs proper regulations because of environmental concerns. It is also used in the production of photographic materials like silver bromide and in the synthesis of dyes and chemical intermediates.

Feedstock for Bromine

The production of bromine utilizes bitterns as the major feedstock. The changes in market dynamics of this raw material affect the manufacturing of bromine.

The sourcing of bitterns is influenced by its composition (concentration of magnesium chloride, potassium salts, bromides, and other minerals affect its quality and usability). The changes in its demand in downstream industries, like recovery of magnesium compounds, potassium fertilizer salts, bromine extraction, production of high-purity magnesia, and chemical manufacturing, affect its availability and prices.

Legal and regulatory requirements, like environmental regulations and trade policies, can add to its procurement costs. The usage of advanced technology in salt and bittern processing may improve yield and quality, further affecting its procurement strategies.

Its industry standards and certifications, such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and environmental regulations, impact processing and handling costs. Also, economic trends and increasing focus on environmental sustainability and responsible sourcing impact its supply.
 

Market Drivers for Bromine

The market for bromine is driven by its demand as flame retardants in electronics, automotive, construction, and textiles. The growing need for strict fire safety regulations and awareness of fire hazards contributes to its market growth. Its utilization in water treatment as a biocide and disinfectant fuels its demand in industrial cooling towers, swimming pools, and municipal water systems.

Its application in the oil and gas industry, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical sectors further boosts its market demand. Its Asia-Pacific market is supported by its consumption in construction, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and automotive industries, which is further supported by government infrastructure investments and water treatment initiatives.

North American market is driven by strong demand for flame retardants, drilling fluids, and water treatment chemicals, along with a focus on sustainability and innovation in battery technologies and specialty chemicals. Europe’s market is fueled by strict industrial safety regulations, the rise of electric vehicles that require bromine-based flame retardants, and a strong chemical manufacturing base.

The CAPEX for bromine manufacturing plant involves costs of brine storage tanks, feed pumps, agitation vessels, and sand filters or filter presses. Chlorine dosing systems, chlorine storage tanks, chemical feed pumps, reaction vessels, air blowers, stripping towers (with demisters), and absorption towers come under CAPEX. Bromine plant capital cost also covers costs of distillation columns, reboilers, and condensers, along with glass-lined, lead-lined, or Monel-lined bromine storage tanks, drum filling stations, and tank vents.

The OPEX for bromine production facility includes costs of raw materials and utility costs that cover high energy demands of equipment like air blowers, feed pumps, distillation reboilers, and cooling towers. It includes regular maintenance expenses like wear-and-tear on corrosive-duty equipment like scrubbers, columns, valves, and pumps and wages for skilled chemical plant operators, engineers, safety personnel, and maintenance technicians. Gas scrubbing systems, wastewater treatment, and gas leak detection systems, along with packaging costs, also come under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Bitterns: The feedstock for this process includes bitterns.

The manufacturing process of bromine starts by feeding the chlorinating towers with bittern. First, the bittern goes through perchlorination, followed by the introduction of steam that brings the mixture to its boiling point. To this mix, sulphuric acid is added, which helps in the stripping of bromine from the solution.

The resulting mixture of steam and liberated bromine is directed through a condenser to separate the steam and uncondensed bromine. The crude bromine is then separated from water and goes through fractional distillation, giving pure bromine as the final product.
 

Properties of Bromine

Bromine is a reddish-brown, volatile liquid at room temperature. It has a sharp, unpleasant odor with a density of about 3.1 g/cm³. It has a melting point of −7.2 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 58.8 degree Celsius. It is moderately soluble in water and in organic solvents and forms a metallic luster when solidified.

It is a halogen in group 17 of the periodic table, with an electron configuration of [Ar] 3d¹° 4s² 4p5 that makes it highly reactive and a strong oxidizing agent. It reacts vigorously with alkali metals and certain other elements, displaces hydrogen from saturated hydrocarbons, and adds to unsaturated hydrocarbons. It forms a variety of covalent compounds in oxidation states +1, +3, +4, +5, and +7 with its compounds.
