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 is produced by passing bromine into a solution of sodium carbonate.[1] It may also be produced by the electrolytic oxidation of sodium bromide. Alternatively, it can also be created by the oxidation of bromine with chlorine to sodium hydroxide at 80 °C.

Human health issues
Bromate in drinking water is undesirable because it is a suspected human carcinogen.[2][3] Its presence in Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water forced a recall of that product in the UK.[4]
