Barium bromate, Ba(BrO₃)₂, is the barium salt of bromic acid. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor.^[1]

Preparation

Barium bromate is usually prepared by the electrolysis of barium bromide solution at 65–70 °C, in the presence of dichromate and using anodes of lead dioxide or iron and cathodes of stainless steel or copper.^[5] The barium bromate can be crystallized by cooling the electrolyte, and any unoxidized bromide recycled.^[1]

Barium bromate can also be prepared by reacting bromine with barium hydroxide solution at 50–90 °C.^[1]^[6]

3 Br₂ + 3 OH⁻ ⇌ BrO−3 + 5 Br⁻ + 3 H⁺

Anhydrous barium bromate decomposes at about 270 °C to give barium bromide and oxygen:^[1]

Ba(BrO₃)₂ → BaBr₂ + 3 O₂

Controlled decomposition in vacuo at 250 °C gives barium bromite:^[7]

Ba(BrO₃)₂ → Ba(BrO₂)₂ + O₂
