Calcium bromide

What does Calcium bromide?

Calcium bromide is other wise called Calcium Dibromid, it’s having one Calcium particular and two bromide molecules.

Calcium Bromide is a white powder with no odor that is made from the calcium salt of hydro tropic acid, a volatile acid used to make other industrial compounds. Clear brine fluid is it, and also molecular formula is; CaBr2, which has a density of 14.2 lbs/gal . In oil and gas completion and drilling operations, Its combined with calcium chloride to render drill cuttings brine-free.

Usage of Calcium Dibromide

The major use for it is as a component of high-density clear drilling, completion work over, and packing fluids to control well bore pressures. As well as Calcium bromide finds other applications:

  • In photography
  • Medicine
  • Sizing compounds
  • As a food preservative
  • In flame retardant blends

What does physical and Chemical properties of products

What ever Some main chemical properties of calcium bromide include:

  • Toxicity
  • Heat of combustion
  • Ph value
  • Flammable
  • Rate of radioactive decay and chemical stability

In addition it’s a white hygroscopic powder available in its anhydrous form .It’s density is 3.35 grams per liter and the melting point is 730 degrees C .it’s edge of boiling over is 1935C . It’s dissolvable in water, ethanol , methanol, and acetone , however it’s insoluble in natural solvents.

Benefits of bromide

  • In fact It’s non-damaging to the formation
  • Thermally and chemically stable
  • It can be blended with other solutions containing bromides and chlorides
  • And also it’s contains 52% by weight calcium bromide in solution
  • It can used with calcium chloride brains and dry it to formulate non-damaging fluids of densities from 11.7 lbs/gal to 15.1 lbs/gal
