Recently ozonation has been applied for sterilization of drinking water. Ozonation transforms part of bromide to bromate which is a potential carcinogen. So, it is very important to measure bromate in drinking water. A modeldrinking water with bromate was measured by suppressed coductivity with IC SI-50 4E.


Sample : Model drinking water, 500μL
1. 0.1mg/L F^-
2. 0.003mg/L BrO₃^-
3. 20mg/L Cl^-
4. 0.1mg/L Br^-
5. 10mg/L NO₃^-
6. 10mg/L SO₄^2-


1. : 0.02 mg/L
2. : 0.01 mg/L
3. : 0.003mg/L
