Sodium bromate has important applications in various industries such as daily chemical, pharmaceutical, pesticide, textile printing and dyeing due to its strong oxidizing properties. In some scenarios, it is also a core raw material or key additive. The specific applications are as follows:
1. Daily chemical industry
       Core ingredient of cold perm agent: It is a key raw material for cold perm agents in the beauty field. It relies on stable oxidative properties to change the structure of proteins in hair, which can make the perm effect long-lasting and reduce damage to hair. It is an important ingredient in cold perm products to ensure effectiveness and hair quality safety.
       Cleaning product raw materials: can be used to prepare strong oxidizing cleaning agents, which can decompose stubborn stains with their oxidation ability and adapt to various cleaning scenarios that require strong stain removal.
2. Pharmaceutical and pesticide fields
       Synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates: As an oxidant, it participates in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates such as p-hydroxyphenylglycine, which is an important raw material for the production of antibiotics and can ensure the purity of antibiotics produced by companies such as Pfizer. At the same time, bromination reactions can also be achieved in drug synthesis, introducing bromine atoms to change the structure of compounds, laying the foundation for the synthesis of sedatives and other drugs.
       Preparation of low toxicity pesticides: Used in pesticide production to prepare highly efficient and low toxicity insecticides, meeting the needs of green agriculture for pesticide environmental protection and low residue, and helping to reduce the negative impact of pesticide use on the environment and crops.
3. Textile printing and dyeing field
       Printing and dyeing auxiliaries: As auxiliaries, sulfurized dyes can be used to achieve more uniform coloring on fabrics, greatly improving the washability of fabrics and avoiding fading and fading problems during the washing process; At the same time, it can also serve as a wool finishing agent, optimizing the texture and performance of wool fabrics.
       Fabric bleach: Its strong oxidative properties can be used for fabric bleaching, especially suitable for bleaching special fabrics such as wool. While removing impurities and pigments, it relatively reduces damage to fabric fibers.
4. Precious metal extraction field
       The composite system composed of sodium bromate and sodium bromide can efficiently dissolve gold, extract gold purity to 99.99%, and provide key material support for precious metal extraction scenarios such as gold . It is an important chemical system in the process of precious metal extraction and purification. In addition, this type of system can also be used for the extraction and purification of other precious metals such as platinum.
5. Electronics and Chemical Industry
       Printed circuit board etching: In the electronics industry, it can be combined with other chemicals to create etching solutions. In the manufacturing of printed circuit boards, excess copper foil can be removed correctly, and the etching speed and depth can be controlled correctly to form specific circuit patterns, ensuring the performance and quality of the circuit board.
       Key reagents for organic synthesis: They are brominating agents in organic synthesis and can achieve bromination reactions of specific compounds; It is also a high-quality oxidant, such as in the synthesis of dye intermediates, which can oxidize organic compounds into target products and improve product yield. It can also be used to prepare other bromides such as potassium bromide and sodium bromide, providing basic raw materials for fields such as electronics and medicine.
6. Laboratory and analytical fields
       Analytical reagents: commonly used in oxidation-reduction titration experiments to determine reducing substances such as ferrous ions and iodide ions; It can also be used as a chemical reagent and reference substance for phenolic determination, and can be used to prepare bromate standard solutions for calibrating analytical instruments and quality control in experimental processes.
       Bromine generator: In the laboratory, a reaction can occur by acidifying a mixed solution of sodium bromate and sodium bromide to produce bromine, providing a convenient preparation method for experiments that require the use of bromine.
7. Other special scenarios
       Water treatment: can be used for purifying drinking water, removing metal ions such as iron and manganese, as well as some organic pollutants from the water; It is also applicable to the treatment of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage, decomposing recalcitrant organic matter and improving water quality.
       Food processing: It can be used as a flour processing agent, and adding it in moderation can improve the baking performance of flour, making bread and other foods softer and more elastic in taste. However, its usage is strictly limited by safety standards.
