OriginSodium bromate is a synthetic oxidizing salt belonging to the bromate compound family, synthesized from inorganic chemical precursors. It is produced through the oxidation of bromide salts using strong oxidizing agents like chlorine or hydrogen peroxide.
Sodium bromate is a chemical compound of sodium and bromine. It is a strong oxidant and 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. Bromine is a halogen element with the symbol Br and atomic number 35. Diatomic bromine does not occur naturally, but bromine salts can be found in crustal rock. (L625, L637)
