Bromine finds versatile applications across various sectors such as oil & gas drilling, flame retardants, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and more. This versatility contributes to the high demand ...

Bromine was first identified as a chemical element in 1826 by French chemist Antoine Balard. He isolated it from chlorine and found that, in its elemental form, bromine is a highly volatile, ...

A new advance in bromine-based flow batteries could remove one of the biggest obstacles to long-lasting, affordable energy ...

A new two-electron bromine chemistry sharply cuts corrosion while boosting performance, opening a clearer path for zinc–bromine flow batteries at grid scale.

Twenty-seven chemical elements are considered to be essential for human life. Now there is a 28th: bromine. In a new paper, researchers establish for the first time that bromine, among the 92 ...

Bromine looks sinister - like something you might find on Dr Frankenstein's workbench. But are people sometimes too hard on compounds made from element 35 of the periodic table? As you read this ...

This article describes a process to establish the bromine index (BI) using coulometric titration. This bromine index is the fraction of reactive unsaturated compounds (mostly C=C double bonds) in ...

Smelly element No. 35, bromine, is a fairly abundant element but has a rare property: it is the only nonmetal to exist in liquid form at room temperature, and one of only two elements (the other being ...

Chalk up another win for citizen activists. Coke and Pepsi announced this week that they will no longer use brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, in their soft drinks. BVO is an emulsifier; it helps to ...
