Inorganic bromine is found in the atmosphere and is quickly cycled between its gas and its particulate phase. Bromine gas (Br 2 ) undergoes an autocatalytic cycle known as the ' bromine explosion ', which occurs in the ocean and salt lakes such as the Dead Sea , where a high quantity of salts are exposed to the atmosphere.
During his research on mineral salts he discovered bromine in 1825, as a brown gas evolving after the salt was treated with chlorine. [1] [2] [3] After working at the University of Heidelberg and the University of Zurich he became the successor to Robert Wilhelm Bunsen at the University of Breslau. He worked and lived in Breslau until his death ...

In 1840, bromine was discovered to have some advantages over the previously used iodine vapor to create the light sensitive silver halide layer in daguerreotypy. [ 25 ] By 1864, a 25% solution of liquid bromine in .75 molar aqueous potassium bromide [ 26 ] was widely used [ 27 ] to treat gangrene during the American Civil War, before the ...

Antoine Jérôme Balard met John Stuart Mill while Mill was studying at the Montpellier Faculty of Sciences in the Winter of 1820. In Mill's journal of the period [9] he writes of visiting Balard at his home, being shown his herbarium and receiving from him a selection of his plants from the Montpellier area, in addition to other accounts of the two embarking on daytrips around the city of ...
