I would like to ask about the methods for transporting bromine and hydrobromic acid

Elemental bromine is generally transported in ground-glass or threaded glass bottles, and it is also transported in porcelain containers. There are corresponding requirements for transporting hazardous materials. Large quantities are stored separately in transport packaging, while smaller amounts can be packaged in glass ampoules. Packaging method for hydrobromic acid: acid-resistant jars or ceramic bottles, enclosed in ordinary wooden boxes or semi-grilled wooden boxes ； Ordinary wooden box or semi-grilled wooden box outside the glass bottle or plastic barrel (jar) ； Ordinary wooden box outside the frosted-mouth glass bottle or threaded-mouth glass bottle ； Plain wooden box outside a threaded-mouth glass bottle, an iron-cap pressed-mouth glass bottle, a plastic bottle, or a metal barrel (tank). Transportation precautions: For railway transportation of this product, it must be shipped in steel tank cars with rubber linings or special plastic tank cars provided by the manufacturing company; approval from the relevant authorities is required prior to shipment. During railway transportation, loading must be carried out strictly in accordance with the dangerous goods stowage table specified in the Ministry of Railways’ \"Rules for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods\". The packaging must be intact at the time of shipment, and the loading should be secure. During transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or get damaged. Mixing or transporting it together with alkalis, amines, alkali metals, flammable or combustible substances, food-grade chemicals, etc. is strictly prohibited. Transportation vehicles should be equipped with emergency equipment for dealing with leaks during transport. During transportation, it should be protected from exposure to sunlight and rain, as well as high temperatures. When transporting by road, follow the designated routes and do not stop in residential areas or densely populated zones. [1

We carry out large-scale industrial production, and storage tanks need to be installed on site. It would be too troublesome to handle things in buckets; instead, we can use tank trucks for transportation. The main issue is how to unload the goods at the site, and then how to transfer them from the storage tanks to the equipment we use

The delivery pipelines are lined with PTFE; pneumatic diaphragm pumps or compressed air are used for transportation, and enamel storage tanks are employed for storage. We are the ones who produce and process bromine

Thank for the advice. The engineering plastic resistant to bromine is probably PVDF; is PTFE not resistant?

Hydrobromic acid can generally be stored in fiberglass storage tanks. For transportation, pneumatic diaphragm pumps or corrosion-resistant magnetic pumps can be used (the specific materials can be provided to the manufacturer along with the operating conditions, so that they can recommend suitable options; PTFE should work fine). Pipeline valves can be those lined with Teflon, but their reliability is not high, and there is a considerable risk of leakage from such linings. If the lining leaks, the outer carbon steel will penetrate quickly. In my previous workplace, some hydrobromic acid pipelines also used PE pipes; when the joints were welded together thermally, their reliability was quite good.

Pumps for loading/unloading in the tank area: fluoroplastic alloy magnetic pump is selected as the material
