Abstract

A process for isolating crude pentabromophenol containing occluded bromine and hydrogen bromide as impurities comprising the steps of contacting the crude pentabromophenol with a strong acid such as hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid; heating the mixture in order to remove excess bromine; and recovering of the pentabromophenol, whereby formation of carbonyl-group-containing impurities during isolation is minimized.
