The raw materials used for the manufacturing of the TBBA are R.O. water, Bisphenol-A (BPA) MCB, bromine,
SMBS, SS and LABSA. This is manufactured by batch process in the industry. The process is initiated with the
bromination reaction. The TBBA is used as a raw material for manufacturing of plastic, resins, polymers etc.; as it is
flammable retardant material. Moreover it is economically profitable, easy to manufacture, handle and transport. Hence
by increasing the yield of TBBA more production of the TBBA is obtained which is beneficial as well as profitable to the
industry. This can be done by certain modifications in the process parameters. Thus aim of the paper is to increase the
yield of TBBA.
