ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
- the industrial production of ethylene bromination method adopts non-catalytic addition of ethylene and bromine, the reaction rate increases with the increase of reaction temperature, and the presence of water vapor can accelerate the reaction. Excess ethylene and HBr are contained in the exhaust gas, HBr is removed by washing with water in the washing Tower, and then excess ethylene is recovered.
- bromination of ethane
- ethylene glycol and hydrogen bromide reaction method

ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
- vapor toxic, high concentration can cause anesthesia, general anesthesia can cause pulmonary edema death. The lowest poisoning concentration in the air 25*10-6. Inhalation lethal concentration was 1000 × 10-6. It is carcinogenic to rodents. The maximum allowable concentration in air is 130 × 10 -9. The vapor irritates the respiratory tract, damages the liver and kidneys. Liquid contact with the skin can cause ulceration. When contaminated, should immediately take off the coat, dry the skin. Production sites should be well ventilated, equipped with gas masks and protective clothing.
- storage and transportation conditions and protection requirements are the same as (a) methyl bromide, and avoid contact with aluminum, magnesium, potassium, sodium, or contact with strong alkali and chlorine-rich substances. The Joint International Air Transport Code is article 727 poison B.
