Potassium bromate is the potassium salt of bromic acid. It is a food additive (INS 924a), especially used for preparing bromated flour.

Preparation

Potassium bromate is usually prepared by the electrolysis of potassium 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.[3] The potassium bromate can be crystallized by cooling the electrolyte, and any unoxidized bromide recycled.[1]

Potassium bromate can also be prepared by reacting bromine with potassium hydroxide solution at 50–90 °C.[4]

3 Br2 + 3 OH BrO3 + 5 Br + 3 H+

The disadvantage of this approach is that only one-sixth of the bromine is converted into bromate. However, bromide/bromate mixtures are useful in gold mining, and so this method finds some commercial use.[1] The mixture has also been proposed as a safe way of transporting bromine, as the equilibrium can be reversed by the addition of strong acid.[4]
