production method | 1. Ethylene bromination industrial production using ethylene and bromine for non-catalytic addition, the reaction rate increases with the reaction temperature, 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 a washing Tower, and then excess ethylene is recovered. 2. Method for bromination of ethane. 3. Ethylene glycol and hydrogen bromide reaction method. |
