Strontium bromate, Sr(BrO3)2, is the strontium salt of bromic acid.
Preparation
Strontium bromate is usually prepared by the electrolysis of strontium 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 strontium bromate can be crystallized by cooling the electrolyte, and any unoxidized bromide recycled.[3]
Strontium bromate can also be prepared by reacting bromine with strontium hydroxide solution at 50–90 °C.[3][4]
