最近，在对密歇根湖的水进行臭氧氧化后，观察到溴酸盐的含量在20%到30%之间。这些溴酸盐水平是高溴酸盐转化率的结果，例如，有时转化率（按重量计）大于85%。本文描述了密歇根湖水体臭氧氧化过程中高溴化物转化为溴酸盐的过程，重点介绍了以下几个方面:影响溴酸盐生成的因素；溴酸盐生成的控制；以及准确的溴酸盐分析的挑战。 包括23个参考文献、表格和图表。

Bromate levels ranging from 20 to 30 parts per billion (ppb) have recently been observed following the ozonation of Lake Michigan water. These bromate levels were a result of high bromide-to-bromate conversion, e.g., greater than 85% conversion (by weight) at times. This paper describes high bromide-to-bromate conversion during the ozonation of Lake Michigan water and highlights the following: factors influencing bromate formation; control of bromate formation; and, the challenge of accurate bromate analysis. Includes 23 references, table, figures.
