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 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.[2] The sodium bromate can be crystallized by cooling the electrolyte, and any unoxidized bromide recycled.[1]

Barium bromate can also be prepared by reacting bromine with sodium hydroxide solution at 50–90 °C.[3][1]

3 Br2 + 3 OH BrO3 + 5 Br + 3 H+
