Sodium Bromate 250gr 99.5%

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 is produced by passing bromine into a solution of sodium carbonate. It may also be produced by the electrolytic oxidation of sodium bromide. Alternatively, it can also be created by the oxidation of bromine with chlorine to sodium hydroxide at 80 °C.

3 Br₂+3 Na₂CO₃ → 5 NaBr+NaBrO₃+3 CO₂

Human health issues

Bromate in drinking water is undesirable because it is a suspected human carcinogen. Its presence in Coca-Cola’s Dasani bottled water forced a recall of that product in the UK.
