Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Bromine manufacturing workers are technical positions responsible for extracting and purifying bromine from raw materials in chemical plants and shipping it as a product.
Description
Bromine manufacturing workers react bromides contained in seawater or brine with oxidizing agents to separate and concentrate bromine, and manufacture high-purity bromine through processes such as distillation and solvent extraction. They operate the plant, control temperature and pressure, monitor instrumentation, perform chemical analysis, manage safety, and also handle regular equipment inspections and troubleshooting. Since they handle highly corrosive substances, the use of protective gear and compliance with environmental regulations are required.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to expanding applications in electronic materials and flame retardants, but adaptation to automation and safety/environmental regulations is required.
