Abstract:
A solvent extraction process for recovering bromide from a sulfate-containing aqueous stream, the process comprises an extraction step wherein said aqueous stream is mixed with an extraction medium comprising a tertiary amine extractant dissolved in one or more water-immiscible organic solvents, wherein said mixing is carried out in a strongly acidic environment, thereby forming bromide-containing extract and a raffinate with a reduced bromide level, wherein the bromide-containing extract is optionally treated to further minimize the presence of sulfate and is subsequently combined with an aqueous calcium source to form calcium bromide.
Abstract:
This invention provides a process for obtaining propargyl bromide in high yield from propargyl alcohol and phosphorus bromide, in the form of a stable composition with alkylbromide.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of nitrogen-containing compounds belonging to the classes of N-alkyl pyridinium halide, N-alkyl-2-alkyl pyridinium halide and 1-alkyl-3-alkyl imidazolium halide, as additives in electrolyte solutions for zinc bromine membraneless flow cells. The invention also provides electrolyte solutions comprising such additives and processes for operating said cells.
Abstract:
The invention provides pentabromobenzyl moiety containing hydroxy-functional compounds which are useful as flame-retardants in flexible and rigid polyurethane foams and also in rigid polyisocyanurate foams. Processes for preparing the compounds, polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams containing the compounds are also provided by the invention.
Abstract:
The stabilization of 3BP throughout its life-cycle is achieved via the use of azeotropic mixtures for dilution and prevention of shock or temperature sensitivity.
