With the free bromine sensor, even at low water volumes, safe bromine disinfection is guaranteed. It has quick response times, ensuring effective process control. For use in desalination plants, process or cooling water, swimming pools, and the fish farming industry, it offers high-precision, steady measurement in seawater.
A sensitive test for bromine is its reaction with fluorescein, which produces a deep red colour when the organic molecule is brominated, or its reaction with fuchsine dyes when sulfuric acid is present, which produces a deep blue colour.
A more typical test involves heating the sample in the presence of potassium dichromate and diluted sulfuric acid. The bromine is then extracted using chloroform, and when potassium iodide is added, the pink colour of iodine is visible.
When a solid sample is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, bromine may also be detected by the evolution of hydrogen bromide, which contains some brown bromine vapour. An alternative is to add chlorine to an aqueous solution of a bromide-containing sample, which results in the development of a brown colour (free bromine).
The most noble platinum metal is osmium, along with ruthenium, and both cold and hot acids have no impact on it. If an oxidising agent like sodium chlorate is present, it can be broken down by fused alkalies.
Osmium is the platinum metal that is attacked by air the fastest. Even at room temperature, the metal powder emits the noxious volatile tetroxide, OsO4distinctive,’s odour.
The Global bromine sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The Memosens CCS55D is a flexible option for measuring free bromine in a variety of applications, including fish farming, swimming pools, process and cooling water, and more. The low-maintenance membrane-covered sensor is designed for steady and long-term measurement, and Memosens’ tried-and-true digital sensor technology guarantees maximum process uptime.
The demand for potable water is increasing, and the requirement for seawater treatment is becoming more critical as a result of the expanding worldwide population and constantly shifting climatic circumstances. In addition to desalination, routine disinfection is a crucial stage and a regulatory obligation in water treatment to safeguard systems and people against disease and harm.
The biggest atom in the homogeneous halogen bromine, an inorganic non-metal molecule, is a noble gas. Although poisonous, bromine is not carcinogenic. At room temperature, bromine is a reddish-brown liquid that evaporates to produce a gas of the same hue. The smell of bromine is intense and offensive.
Bromine compounds are utilised as an intermediary in organic chemistry, photographic film, and well drilling fluids. Flame retardants also use bromine as a component. Dizziness, headaches, lacrimation (weeping), coughing, and nosebleeds can all result from inhaling bromine.
Diarrhoea and abdominal pain might result from eating. Burns to the skin or eyes as well as measles-like outbreaks can result from direct contact. The disorder known as bromism, which has negative effects on the nervous system, psyche, gastrointestinal tract, and skin, is brought on by high levels of bromine.
