Description

For the photometric determination of bromine

Due to their high reactivity bromine and chlorine are suitable for the disinfection of pools and cooling towers. Both bromine and chlorine are biocides. However, using bromine instead of chlorine the typical swimming pool smell does not appear. Moreover, appropriate bromine compounds show a more efficient disinfection at high pH values and cause minor corrosions. Therefore chlorine is more frequently replaced by bromine.
Nonetheless, bromine is a very toxic and caustic element. Wrong dosage may cause irritations of skin, eyes and mucosa, even at low concentrations. Hence, a proper application and regular controls are necessary.

A visual determination is not possible.
