Bromine: Dead Sea Bromine
built 629 days ago
Dead Sea Bromine appears to be playing a leading role in spreading methyl bromide supply to, and promoting agricultural production in the Third World. Developing and expanding these markets is in the interests of corporations like Dead Sea, Albemarle and Great Lakes, since methyl bromide may well be phased-out at a much slower pace in these countries. Reports from countries like Jordan, Kenya and China place Dead Sea at the center of these globalization strategies.

Bromine occurs in nature as bromide salts in very diffuse amounts in crustal rock. Due to leaching, bromide salts have accumulated in sea water (85 ppm), and may be economically recovered from brine wells and the Dead Sea (up to 50000 ppm).

Bromine is abundant in nature as bromide salts or as organobromine compounds, which are produced by many types or marine organisms. The most recoverable form of bromine is from soluble salts found in seawater, salt lakes, inland seas, and brine wells. Sea water contains bromine in about 65 part per million (ppm) but bromine is found in much higher concentrations (2500 to 10,000 ppm) in inland seas and brine wells. The major areas of bromine production in the world are from salt brines found in the United Stated and China, from the Dead Sea in Israel and Jordan and from ocean water in Wales and Japan. Bromine is ... present in rock and the earth's crust.

Bromine is obtained from brine sources in the United States of America and China, from the Dead Sea in Israel and Jordan and from oceanic water from Wales and Japan. Other bromine-rich areas are in France, Italy, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Azerbeidzjan and Germany. Bromine can ... be found in rocks and in the earth's crust.

Dead Sea Bromine produces as much as 30 percent of world output of methyl bromide, which it exports to Europe, Africa, the United States and China. However, very little information is available on this Israeli transnational corporation.
