Abstract:
A bromine-phosphorus polymeric compound of the Formula (II) and its use as a flame-retardant in thermoplastics are described. A process for preparing the polymeric compound of Formula (II) by reacting brominated epoxy resins with X1X2P(=0)-OH or X3-0-PH (=0)(X4) is also described.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of microbial control in water comprising adding to the water one or more bromine-based biocide(s) and cis-2-decenoic acid or a salt thereof. Compositions in the form of liquid concentrates comprising bromine-based biocides and cis-2-decenoic acid or a salt thereof are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the removal of bromide from aqueous solutions to produce brominated oils, comprising: combining in a reaction vessel bromide-containing aqueous solution and one or more unsaturated compounds selected from the group consisting of unsaturated fatty acids, esters of unsaturated fatty acids and mixtures thereof; oxidizing the bromide in an acidic environment to generate elemental bromine, wherein the bromine adds to the carbon- carbon double bonds of said unsaturated compound(s); and separating the reaction mixture to bromide-depleted aqueous phase and brominated oily phase.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing bromine- containing polymer, comprising a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of tetrabromoxylylene dihalide, or tetrabromoxylylene dihalide in combination with pentabromobenzyl halide, with a reactant having one or more six-membered aromatic rings, wherein the reaction takes place in a solvent in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst, and isolating from the reaction mixture the bromine-containing polymer. The so-formed polymers and their use as flame retardants form additional aspects of the invention.
