Is the hydrobromic acid process a hydrogenation reaction?
Thread Content
Hydrogen reacts with bromine to produce hydrobromic acid; does this reaction count as a hydrogenation reaction? Is it necessary to have an automated control system? As described in the introduction to the \"Catalogue of Key Hazardous Chemical Processes Under Strict Supervision\": \"Hydrogenation is a reaction in which hydrogen atoms are added to organic compound molecules. The processes that involve hydrogenation reactions are referred to as hydrogenation processes, and these mainly include the hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds, aromatic compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, oxygen-containing compounds, and hydrodecomposition.\" I think bromine itself is an inorganic substance, so it does not meet the criteria for a hydrogenation reaction; therefore, an automated control system is not necessary. However, the safety hazards associated with this process are quite similar to those of hydrogenation reactions. What are everyone’s thoughts on this?
Do you want to produce hydrogen bromide by burning hydrogen and bromine? I’m a bit dizzy! !

It is hydrogen and bromine that react in a reactor to produce hydrogen bromide; this is the process in question. Experts say it constitutes a hydrogenation process and that automation is required, but I believe automation should not be used.
Who knows what type of reaction the combustion reaction between hydrogen and bromine actually is? Guys upstairs, what type of reaction did you use to deal with it?
The reaction pressure is less than 0.05 – how can this be considered a hydrogenation reaction? It’s simply a chemical reaction between two elements; there’s no significant or high level of danger involved, so it cannot be classified as such. If experts consider it to be a high-risk process, then automation upgrades will be necessary
For you, it’s either a hydrogenation reaction or an oxidation reaction. So self-control is a must.
