Barium Carbonate

BARIUM CARBONATE

Barium Carbonate (BaCO₃) is an inorganic isotopic trigonal structured compound. Its name shows it is a heavy metal. It is poorly soluble in water and sulphuric acid but soluble in most acids. It is white heavy powder. It occurs in minerals frequently. Its powder is used generally for removing sulfates in the phosphoric acid formulation. Barium Carbonate is the most significant barium compound. It is an extremely reactive alkali metal. In mixing with water, it is used for drilling mud.  On heating, this compound decomposes and gives barium oxide. It is also toxic. 

Physical Properties

It is a white dry powder having several uses. It has become a common ingredient of various industries. It is insoluble in ethanol and alcohol. It is an odourless and colourless compound with no taste. Its vapour pressure is essentially zero. It is a thermally stable chemical compound. At a very high temperature(1300°C), it decomposes and gives carbon dioxide and barium oxide. It serves the oil drilling industry.

We can provide 99%  pure barium carbonate for the best industrial experience.

Preparation

It is formulated by the soda ash method, by treating Barium Sulphide with Sodium Carbonate at 60 to 70°C commercially. Moreover, it can be produced by the treatment of carbon dioxide with a Barium sulphide at 40 to 80°C.

Chemical Properties

• It is insoluble in methanol.
• It is stable at thermal conditions.
• It has toxic effects.
• It is the most reactive alkali metal.
