Application | used as a central nervous depressant in medicine, used in oil drilling, manufacturing ammonium bromide, photosensitive paper, fire extinguishing agent, refrigerants, etc. are used for oil drilling. It is also used in the manufacture of ammonium bromide and photosensitive paper, fire extinguishing agent, refrigerant, etc. Medicine used as a central nervous depressant, with inhibition, sedation, for the treatment of neurasthenia, epilepsy and other diseases. mainly used as offshore oil drilling completion fluid, cementing fluid, workover fluid used as analytical reagent, also used in photography, pharmaceutical industry |
production method | ferrous bromide process in a reactor containing water, iron chips are added, and bromine is added in batches with stirring, the reaction is carried out at 40 ℃ to form ferrous bromide, and calcium hydroxide is added to adjust the pH value, heated to boiling, then the ferrous hydroxide is cooled and separated to remove, and the filtrate is evaporated and cooled to 30 ℃ to stand still, after decolorization, filtration, evaporation to about 210 deg C, and then by cooling, prepared calcium bromide. Its Fe Br2 → febr2frr2 ca(OH)2 → CaBr2 Fe(OH)2 ↓ direct method ammonia into the milk of lime, adding bromine, reaction below 70 ℃, filtration, the filtrate was maintained under alkaline conditions to remove ammonia, allowed to stand, decolorized, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain a calcium bromide product. |
