The removal of bromate from aqueous medium by Amberlite IRA-400 anion exchange resin was explored in order to identify the capability of this resin to remove bromate from real water samples. The effects of several physicochemical parameters such as contact time, initial bromate concentration, initial pH, and temperature were studied. The concentration of bromate was determined using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were well fitted by pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich model, respectively.
