Where is ammonium bromide mainly used

Sources:www.worldbrom.com | PublishDate:2025.05.13

       Ammonium bromide is a white crystalline powder that has a wide range of applications in the fields of medicine, chemical engineering, agriculture, etc., as follows:
1. Pharmaceutical field
       Sedative Hypnosis: Ammonium bromide can enhance the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex, with sedative and hypnotic effects, and can be used to treat symptoms such as neurasthenia and insomnia.
       Antiepileptic: It can be used as an adjuvant medication for the treatment of epilepsy, helping to reduce the frequency and intensity of epileptic seizures.
       Expectorant and cough suppressant: After oral administration of ammonium bromide, it can stimulate the gastric mucosa, reflexively increase bronchial secretion, dilute sputum, and make it easy to cough up, thus playing a role in expectorant and cough suppressant. It is commonly used in cough suppressant drugs.
2. Chemical industry field
       Chemical analysis: Ammonium bromide can be used as an analytical reagent to determine the content of other substances. For example, in the determination of silver, it can form a precipitate with silver ions, and the silver content can be calculated by the mass of the precipitate.
       Organic synthesis: It is an important raw material in organic synthesis and can be used to prepare various organic compounds. For example, in the preparation of certain drugs, dyes, fragrances, etc., ammonium bromide can act as a brominating agent, participate in chemical reactions, introduce bromine atoms, and thus change the properties and structure of the compound.
       Photographic materials: In the photosensitive materials industry, ammonium bromide is used to manufacture photosensitive films, photographic papers, etc. It can interact with substances such as silver halide, affecting the sensitivity and imaging quality of photosensitive materials.
3. Other fields: Ammonium bromide can be added as a flame retardant to materials such as plastics and rubber to improve their flame retardant properties. In addition, it can also be used in the agricultural field as a trace element fertilizer, which helps promote plant growth and development. In some cases, it can also be used in water treatment processes to help remove impurities and pollutants from water.
