Sodium bromate, the inorganic compound with the chemical formula of NaBrO3, is the sodium salt of bromic acid. It is a strong oxidant.[1]
Uses
Sodium bromate is mainly used in continuous or batch dyeing processes involving sulfur or vat dyes and as a hair-permagent. In gold mining, it is used in combination with sodium bromide to dissolve gold.
In organic chemistry, sodium bromate is used for a variety of oxidations such as the conversion of alcohols to ketones.[2] Some such oxidations proceed with scission of C-C bonds.[3]
Production
Sodium bromate can be produced from a solution of sodium carbonate and bromine using chlorine gas as the oxidising agent.[4]
- 6 Na2CO3 + Br2 + 5 Cl2 → 2 NaBrO3 + 10 NaCl + 6 CO2
It may also be produced by the electrolytic oxidation of aqueous sodium bromide.[5]
Human health issues
Bromate in drinking water is undesirable because it is a suspected human carcinogen.[6][7] Its presence in Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water forced a recall of that product in the UK.[8]
