Applications
Sodium bismuthate oxide is used as an oxidant in the preparation of hexavalent Americium (Am) during the separation of Am from the lanthanides., hydrothermal synthesis of bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) micrometer-sized single crystals. It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of bismuth nanoforms under microwave (MW) irradiation. It used to converts almost any manganese compound to permanganate, which is easily assayed spectrophotometrically.

Solubility
Soluble in aqueous acid. Insoluble in water.

Notes
Hygroscopic. Store in cool, dry place in tightly closed containers. Store away from oxidizing agent and water/moisture.
