Sodium bromate, NaBrO3, is the sodium salt of bromic acid. It is used as a neutralizer-oxidizer in hair-wave preparations and in textile bleaching.[1]

Preparation

Sodium bromate is usually prepared by the electrolysis of sodium 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 sodium bromate can be crystallized by cooling the electrolyte, and any unoxidized bromide recycled.[1]

Sodium bromate can also be prepared by reacting bromine with sodium 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]

Another approach is to oxidize the remaining bromide with chlorine:[5]

Br2 + 2 Cl2 + 6 OH → 2 BrO3 + 4 Cl + 6 H+
