Industrial Grade 99% Barium ChlorideBaCl2 White crystal for Chemical Materials
Physical property
Appearance: Colorless or white crystalline solid.
Molecular weight: 244.26 g/mol (BaCl₂·2H₂O).
Density: 3.097 g/cm³ (25°C).
Melting point: about 120°C (loss of crystal water),
anhydrous barium chloride melting point is 962°C.
Solubility:
Soluble in water, solubility increases significantly with
temperature (about 37 g/100 mL water at 20°C).
Hygroscopicity: barium chloride dihydrate is stable in air,
but anhydrous barium chloride has strong hygroscopicity.
Chemical properties
Stability:
It is stable at room temperature, but when heated to about 120°C it loses its crystal water and
transforms into anhydrous barium chloride (BaCl₂).
Acid-alkaline: The aqueous solution is neutral.
Reactivity:
The reaction with the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻) ₄ resulted in
the white barium sulfate (BaSO₄) precipitation.
This reaction is commonly used to detect sulfate ions.
Reacted with the chromate ion (CrO₄²⁻) to ₄ The precipitation of barium chromate yellow (BaCrO₄).
reacts with the carbonate ion (CO ²⁻) to form a white barium carbonate (BaCO₃) precipitation.
Main use
Laboratory reagents:
Used to detect the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻), the chromate ion (CrO₄²⁻),
and the carbonate ion (CO ₄²⁻).
As a buffer or standard substance.
Industrial Applications:
Used in the manufacture of other barium compounds (such as barium carbonate, barium sulfate).
Used in water treatment, metal heat treatment and ceramic industry.
Other uses:
Used to make green fireworks.
Used in medicine as an intermediate for certain drugs.
Barium chloride application
1. Industrial use
To make other barium compounds:
Barium chloride is an important raw material for preparing other barium salts
(such as barium carbonate and barium sulfate).
Metal heat treatment:
In the heat treatment of metals, barium chloride is used as a quenching agent and
as a component of molten salt baths.
Ceramics and Glass industry:
Used in the manufacture of specialty glass and ceramics to improve their optical properties and
mechanical strength.
Pigment Manufacturing:
Barium chloride can be used in the production of certain pigments, such as barium chromate (yellow pigment).
2. Water treatment
Softening water:
Barium chloride can be used to remove sulfates (such as calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate) from water,
resulting in an insoluble barium sulfate precipitate.
Wastewater treatment:
In industrial wastewater treatment, it is used to remove sulfate ions and other impurities.
3. Laboratory and scientific research
Analytical reagents:
Barium chloride is commonly used in chemical analysis. It detects the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻).
It forms a white barium sulfate precipitate.
Also used to detect the chromate ion (CrO₄²⁻) and phosphate ion (PO₄³⁻).
Desiccant:
Barium chloride is hygroscopic and can be used as a desiccant.
4. The field of medicine
Medical Imaging:
Barium sulfate (prepared from barium chloride) is used in medicine as an X-ray contrast agent for
examination of the gastrointestinal tract.
Drug synthesis:
Barium chloride is an intermediate in some drugs.
