When large amounts of copper deposits in boiler mbes cannot be removed with hydrochloric acid due to the relative insolubility of copper, ammonia-based oxidizing compounds have been effective. Used in a single separate stage, the ammonia sodium bromate step includes the introduction into the boiler system of solutions containing ammonium bromate to rapidly oxidize and dissolve the copper. 

Bromates are powerful oxidizers. On heating, these compounds decompose explosively, producing oxygen. Ammonium bromate [13843-59-9] explodes upon mild impact. DOT lists it under substances forbidden for transportation while sodium, potassium, and magnesium bromates are labeled as oxidizers. 

Cations forming insoluble chromates, such as those of silver, barium, mercury (I), mercury(II), and bismuth, do not interfere because the acidity is sufficiently high to prevent their precipitation. Bromide ion from the generation may be expected to form insoluble silver bromide, and so it is preferable to separate silver prior to the precipitation. Ammonium salts interfere, owing to competitive oxidation by bromate, and should be removed by treatment with sodium hydroxide. 

Derivations of the Citrosolve process use the addition of ammonium bifluoride in the first stage and later the addition of sodium bromate as an improvement over air or sodium nitrite.

Hydroxylamine is a powerful reducant, particularly when anhydrous, and if exposed to air on a fibrous extended surface (filter paper) it rapidly heats by aerobic oxidation. It explodes in contact with air above 70°C [1]. Barium peroxide will ignite aqueous hydroxylamine, while the solid ignites in dry contact with barium oxide, barium peroxide, lead dioxide and potassium permanganate, but with chlorates, bromates and perchlorates only when moistened with sulfuric acid. Contact of the anhydrous base with potassium dichromate or sodium dichromate is violently explosive, but less so with ammonium dichromate or chromium trioxide. Ignition occurs in gaseous chlorine, and vigorous oxidation occurs with hypochlorites.

Cerium (TV) ammonium nitrate (CAN)37 and a cerium (TV) impregnated resin38 are able to catalyze the selective oxidation of secondary alcohols with sodium bromate (NaBrOi). Stoichiometric cerium bromate— CelBrCb h, prepared in situ from barium bromate and cerium (III) sulfate, is also able to perform selective oxidations of secondary alcohols.39... 

Alternatively, the procedure can start with an ammonium chloride salt which is reacted with sodium bromate (equation 63)520 ... 

Reagents. Potassium bromate (0.1 N)—potassium bromide (1% m/v) solution dissolve 2.784 g anhydrous potassium bromate in distilled water add 10 g potassium bromide and dilute to one litre with distilled water. Hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.18). Sodium chloride (12% m/v)—hydroxyl-ammonium chloride (12% m/v) solution. 

There are several salts that behave in this way at atmospheric temperatures, the more important being ammonium acetate potassium bromate, carbonate, cyanide, ferricyanide, ferrocyanide, iodate, and permanganate disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium borate and carbonate.4 In the case of potassium chlorate the points L and S appear to be practically coincident, whilst for the majority of salts the point S lies somewhere to the left of L, namely at S —that is to say, saturation occurs before the limiting concentration is reached. Generally speaking, at the ordinary temperature, concentrated solutions of salts are less corrosive than distilled water—that is, the point S lies below the level of A, exceptions being 5 ammonium sulphate, aluminium... 

Ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate or cerium(IV) sulfate will catalyze the selective oxidation of secondaiy alcohols with sodium bromate as cooxidant, in this case remote C—C double bonds interfere, but 1,2-diols are not cleaved. It has been found that sodium bromite in aqueous acetic acid will act as a selective oxidant for secondary mary diols without the need for other catalysts (Scheme 21). ...

Even though the reaction conditions may lead to formation of the metal enolate in high yield, further reduction may occur during the quenching step of the reaction. Alcohols such as methanol and ethanol convert metal enolates to saturated ketones much faster than they react with metals in ammonia, and quenching of reduction mixtures with these alcohols will usually lead to partial or complete conversion to alcoholic product rather than to the saturated ketone. Rapid addition of excess solid ammonium chloride is the commonly employed quench procedure if ketonic products are desired,but other reagents that destroy solvated electrons before neutralization may be employed, such as sodium ben-zoate, iron(III) nitrate, - sodium nitrite, bromobenzene, sodium bromate, 1,2-dibromoethane and acetone.
