“What type of tank is used to transport liquid bromine as a medium? Thank you! !
Currently, it is commonly filled and transported in ceramics (jars) or containers!
What kind of tank is a transport tank? Is it metal?
Metal tanks can’t just be used as is without lining them with some material, right?
It is said that tanks lined with lead can be used to transport liquid bromine! !
Bromine is highly irritating and corrosive, and it can erode many metal and non-metal materials; therefore, special care must be taken when storing and using bromine. During transportation, it should be kept away from sunlight and heat sources; it must not be stored together with **, poisons, radioactive materials, oxidizing substances, flammable materials, and organic peroxides. For shipment by sea, it is generally required to use glass bottles, Monel alloy cylinders, as well as tank cars or freight containers made of lead, nickel, or Monel-Clad alloy. As bromine storage containers, they are usually made of metals such as Monel alloy, nickel, and lead; they can also be made of glass, ceramics, or certain plastics.
For general transportation, ceramic jars and glass-lined storage tanks are used; for sea export, containers are employed, while lead-lined storage tanks are used as well
