Premium Barium Chloride BaCl₂ Suitable for Water Treatment Metal Processing
Barium chloride (BaCl₂) is an important inorganic compound with the following key properties:
1. Chemical properties
Chemical formula: BaCl₂
Molecular weight: 208.23 g/mol
Chemical structure: consists of one barium ion (Ba² +) and two chloride ions (Cl⁻).
2. Physical properties
Appearance: White crystalline solid, usually in powder or particle form.
Density: 3.856 g/cm³ (anhydrous)
Melting point: 962°C (no water)
Boiling point: 1560°C (anhydrous)
Solubility: soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and methanol. At 20°C,
about 35.8 grams per 100 ml of water can be dissolved.
Hygroscopicity: anhydrous barium chloride has hygroscopicity and easily absorbs moisture in the air.
3. Crystal structure
Crystal structure: anhydrous barium chloride belongs to the orthogonal crystal system,
and the dihydrate (BaCl₂·2H₂O) belongs to the monoclinic crystal system.
4. Chemical stability
Stability: Chemically stable at room temperature, but will decompose at high temperatures.
Reactivity: Reacts with sulfate to form barium sulfate precipitation, often used for the detection of sulfate ions.
5. Toxicity
Toxicity: Barium chloride is toxic, ingestion or inhalation will cause harm to human health,
should be handled with caution.
6. Application field
Chemical reagents: Used for laboratory analysis and chemical synthesis.
Water treatment: Used to remove sulfates from water.
Metal treatment: Used for metal surface treatment and heat treatment.
Manufacture of other barium salts: used as raw materials for the manufacture of other barium compounds.
Fireworks: Fireworks used to create a green flame.
7. Storage and handling
Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated environment to avoid moisture absorption.
Handling: Wear protective equipment during operation and avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
Barium chloride is suitable for water treatment
1 .Remove sulfates
Principle of action:
Barium chloride reacted with sulfate (SO₄²⁻) to form barium sulfate, insoluble in water. (BaSO₄)
Sulfate is effectively removed from water by precipitation reaction.
Application scenario:
Industrial water: Prevent sulphates from forming scale in boiler and cooling water systems.
Wastewater treatment: Remove sulfate from wastewater to avoid environmental pollution.
2. Prevent scaling
Principle of action:
Sulfate is one of the main components of scale. Barium chloride prevents the formation of scale by removing sulfate.
Application scenario:
Boiler water treatment: prolong the service life of the boiler and improve the thermal efficiency.
Cooling water system: prevent pipe and equipment scaling, to ensure the normal operation of the system.
3. Regulate water quality
Principle of action:
Barium chloride can regulate the ionic balance in water and improve water quality.
Application scenario:
Drinking water treatment: used to regulate water quality in specific circumstances,
but the amount needs to be strictly controlled.
Industrial water: Improve water quality to meet production process requirements.
4. Other applications
Heavy metal removal:
Barium chloride can react with some heavy metal ions (such as lead, chromium) to precipitate,
which is used to remove heavy metals from wastewater.
pH regulation:
Barium chloride solution is close to neutral and can be used to regulate the pH value of water bodies.
