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+
Decomposition
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
