Description

Ferrous Bromide Hydrate is an inorganic salt of iron and bromine, typically supplied as a hydrate. This compound serves as a versatile source of ferrous (Fe²⁺) ions and bromide (Br⁻) ions in various synthesis and industrial processes. It is primarily utilized in chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical research, and as a catalyst or reagent in specialized organic reactions. The material is valued for its specific reactivity profile in applications where a soluble iron source is required under controlled conditions.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor or catalyst in organic reactions, including bromination and coupling reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring iron or bromide incorporation.
• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as a standardized source of Fe²⁺ ions in analytical chemistry and research laboratories.
• Material Science: Employed in the preparation of specialty materials, such as certain pigments or magnetic compounds.
• Water Treatment: Investigated for use in specific oxidation or precipitation processes in industrial water treatment.

Quality Control

Our Ferrous Bromide Hydrate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Standard testing includes assay (iron and bromide content), loss on drying, and identification by FT-IR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results and methods is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air and moisture should be avoided. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
