Chemical compound
Sodium bromate , the inorganic compound with the chemical formula of NaBrO3 , is the sodium salt of bromic acid . It is a strong oxidant .
Uses
Sodium bromate is mainly used in continuous or batch dyeing processes involving sulfur or vat dyes and as a hair-permagent , chemical agent, or gold solvent in gold mines when used with sodium bromide.
Production
Sodium bromate can be produced from a solution of sodium carbonate and bromine using chlorine gas as the oxidising agent .[ 1]

It may also be produced by the electrolytic oxidation of aqueous sodium bromide .[ 2]
Human health issues
Bromate in drinking water is undesirable because it is a suspected human carcinogen .[ 3] [ 4] Its presence in Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water forced a recall of that product in the UK .[ 5]
