Barium Carbonate: a Pioneer in Inorganic Compounds for Many Applications

Barium carbonate, also known as precipitated barium carbonate, chemical formula BaCO₃, is a versatile inorganic compound. It is a white powder, insoluble in water, but soluble in strong acids. Despite its toxicity, it plays an irreplaceable role in many industries and special fields. Because of its unique physical and chemical properties, industrial grade barium carbonate has been widely used in electronics, ceramics, chemical industry, water purification and medical treatment. Barium carbonate is a white powder with moisture absorption and is almost insoluble in water and alcohol, but soluble in acid and ammonium chloride solutions. As a carbonate, barium carbonate can react with strong acids to form corresponding barium salts. After reacting with hydrochloric acid in stomach acid, toxic barium chloride will be formed, so special attention should be paid to safety protection during use and storage.

I. Ceramic and glass industry

In ceramic manufacturing, as a key additive of glaze, barium carbonate can significantly improve the whiteness, gloss and hardness of ceramic products, making them more beautiful in appearance and better in quality.

In the production process of optical glass and picture tube glass shell, the addition of barium carbonate can accurately adjust the refractive index and transparency of glass, meet the requirements of high-precision optical performance, and provide reliable material support for electronic display and optical instrument manufacturing.

II. Electronics industry

Barium carbonate is the core raw material for the production of a variety of electronic ceramic components (such as PTC thermistors and capacitors), which are widely used in electronic devices to ensure their stable operation. At the same time, in the manufacturing process of electronic components, barium carbonate can be used as an analytical reagent for the detection and determination of iron and other halogen components.

III. Chemical industry

Catalyst and reagent: Barium carbonate can be used as a reagent for the detection of specific organic halogen, which has unique value in the field of chemical analysis. At the same time, it can act as a catalyst in some oxidation reactions to promote the process of chemical synthesis and improve production efficiency.

Chlor-alkali industry: In the process of refining brine, barium carbonate can effectively remove sulfate impurities, optimize the quality of brine, and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent electrolysis and other processes.

Water purifier and rodenticide: With good adsorption performance, barium carbonate can be used as water clarifier to treat wastewater containing impurities and purify water quality. Barium carbonate can also be used as a component of rodentcide in certain pesticide formulations.

IV. Other Areas

Medical imaging: After special treatment, barium carbonate can be used as a digestive tract contrast agent in X-ray examination. It plays an important role in the medical field and provides key imaging support for the diagnosis of digestive system diseases.

Metal treatment: can be used for steel carburizing and surface treatment process, improve the surface properties of metal materials, improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

V. Special applications

Synthesis of functional materials: In scientific research and frontier exploration in the field of electronics, the synthesis of functional materials, such as barium carbonate manganese single crystal, by high temperature and high pressure method, lays a material foundation for the research and development of new electronic devices.

Solid carbonate electrode: innovatively applied to carbonate ion monitoring in seawater or chemical media, providing a new sensing technology for Marine science and chemical process control.
