Barium bromate is used extensively to form other
bromates, including the alkali metal bromates which
are used extensively in Industry. HBrO3, a colorless
liquid, is made by the addition of dilute sulfuric acid
to barium bromate. It dissociates extensively in aqueous
solution and is a strong acid.
The scientific literature contains a few studies of
barium bromate chiefly due to interest in Industry for
its use to prepare other bromate salts.
This salt is available commercially, worldwide.
