Industrial Preparation
Hydrogen bromide (along with hydrobromic acid) is produced on a much smaller scale than the corresponding chlorides. In the primary industrial preparation, hydrogen and bromine are combined at temperatures between 200-400 °C. The reaction is typically catalyzed by platinum or asbestos.

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or preparation:
“Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
