Abstract:

Bromate is one of the disinfection by-products produced by the ozonation of drinking water, which is considered as a potential 2B-level carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer. Therefore, the research on determination methods of bromate is very vital to the control of this pollutant in drinking water. On the investigative basis of the recent published articles on this topic, principle, operating parameters, advantage and disadvantage of spectrophotometric, ionchromatography, capillary zone electrophoresis and electrochemical methods were introduced in a comparative way in this paper. In addition, the ready-to-solve problems on determination and control of bromate in drinking water were proposed.

Key words: drinking water, bromate, determination methods
