The efficient removal of bromate (BrO_3^−) from aqueous solutions was investigated using activated alumina. Bromate is a disinfection by-product, generally formed by the reaction of ozone and bromide in drinking water during ozonation process. The removal efficiency was about 90% for bromate (500 ng/mL) ion with acidic activated alumina but over 95% with silver or aluminum treated acidic activated alumina without any treatments of neutral water within 1~2 min.
