Sodium bromate
Template:Chembox Template:Refimprove
Sodium bromate, the inorganic compound with the chemical formula of NaBrO3, is the sodium salt of bromic acid. It is a strong oxidant.
Uses
Sodium bromate is mainly used in continuous or batch dyeing processes involving sulfur or vat dyes and as a hair-permagent, chemical agent, or gold solvent in gold mines when used with sodium bromide.
Production
Sodium bromate can be produced from a solution of sodium carbonate and bromine using chlorine gas as the oxidising agent.[1]
It may also be produced by the electrolytic oxidation of aqueous sodium bromide.[2]
Human health issues
Bromate in drinking water is undesirable because it is a suspected human carcinogen.[3][4] Its presence in Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water forced a recall of that product in the UK.[5]
