Quaternary ammonium tribromides and quaternary phosphonium tribromides are recovered from an organic solvent by washing with an aqueous hydrazine solution. The hydrazine reacts to form nitrogen, hydrobromic acid and a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium monobromide. The hydrobromic acid and quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium migrate to the aqueous phase, thereby effecting the removal of the tribromides from the organic solvent. The hydrobromic acid can be neutralized with a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium hydroxide to produce a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium monobromide. The monobromides produced can be reacted with elemental bromine to regenerate a tribromide brominating agent.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising triethylene glycol disorbate and triethylene glycol monosorbate, at a disorbate to monosorbate weight-to-weight ratio of from 19:1 to 99:1. The composition of the present invention is useful as a low VOC coalescent in coatings formulations.

High purity disorbate ester of triethylene glycol

Conjugated diene polymers such as a styrene-butadiene copolymer are sequentially brominated by reaction with a quaternary ammonium tribromide or quaternary phosphonium tribromide and halohydrated by reaction with an N-haloimide compound. This produces a brominated and halohydrated polymer with very good thermal stability. The product is useful as a flame retardant in a variety of polymer systems.

Brominated styrene-butadiene copolymers are recovered from solution in an organic solvent. The copolymer solution is mixed with a liquid non-solvent in the presence of a suspension stabilizer to form a dispersion. The dispersion is heated to vaporize the organic solvent. This process produces precipitated copolymer particles having useful particle sizes, which can be easily used in downstream applications.

Butadiene polymers are brominated using a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium tribromide as the brominating agent. The bromination is performed in a solvent mixture than contains at least one polyhalogenated alkane and at least one monohalogenated alkane. The process proceeds easily under mild conditions and allows high conversions to be achieved easily.
