Although a large number of bromine compounds are known and described in the literature, they are used mainly in the synthesis of other compounds and have little commercial significance. In the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia (125) a chart is given of a number of bromine compounds, most of which have some industrial importance. This chart includes condensed information on preparations, methods, properties, and uses.

Potassium bromide also can be prepared by treating iron turnings with a 35 wt% aqueous solution of bromine. The product ferrosoferric bromide is boded in potassium carbonate solution containing a slight excess of 15% potassium carbonate (Dancy, W.B. 1980. Potassium Compounds. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3 i ed. p. 963. New York Wiley Interscience). The method does not involve bromate formation. The second step of the process may be represented in the foUowing reaction ...
