Sodium Bromide Solid – Overview
Sodium Bromide (NaBr) is a white, crystalline solid widely used in the oil & gas industry, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis. It is highly soluble in water and serves as a key source of bromide ions in various applications.
Key Properties
- Chemical Formula: NaBr
- Appearance: White crystalline powder or granules
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility:
- Water: 905 g/L (at 25°C)
- Alcohol & Glycerin: Soluble
- Melting Point: 747°C (1,377°F)
- Density: 3.20 g/cm³ (solid)
- pH (in solution): ~6–8 (neutral)
- Hygroscopicity: Absorbs moisture slowly (less than CaBr₂)
Primary Uses & Applications
1. Oil & Gas Industry
- Drilling & Completion Fluids:
- Used as a dense brine (1.5+ g/cm³) for well control.
- Compatible with calcium bromide and zinc bromide blends.
- Clay Stabilization: Prevents formation damage in shale wells.
2. Pharmaceuticals & Disinfectants
- Sedatives & Anticonvulsants: Historically used in medicine (e.g., bromides for epilepsy).
- Disinfectant (Swimming Pools & Hot Tubs): Alternative to chlorine in some cases.
3. Chemical Synthesis
- Bromine Source: Used in organic synthesis (e.g., alkyl bromides).
- Photography: Silver bromide (AgBr) production for film emulsions.
4. Water Treatment
- Biocide: Controls bacteria and algae in industrial water systems.
5. Laboratory & Industrial Processes
- Reagent: Used in analytical chemistry and electrolyte solutions.
Advantages Over Other Bromides
✅ Lower cost than calcium or zinc bromide.
✅ Less hygroscopic than CaBr₂ (easier storage).
✅ Highly soluble for quick brine preparation.
Handling & Safety
- Storage: Keep in sealed, dry containers (HDPE or fiber drums).
- Health Hazards:
- Skin/Eye Contact: Mild irritant (use gloves & goggles).
- Ingestion: Harmful in large doses (nausea, CNS effects).
- Environmental Impact:
- Low toxicity but should not be released into waterways.
