Barium carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula BaCO3. Like most alkaline earth metal carbonates, it is a white salt that is poorly soluble in water. It occurs as the mineral known as witherite. In a commercial sense, it is one of the most important barium compounds.
It is mainly used to remove sulfate impurities from the feedstock of the Chlor-alkali process. Otherwise, it is a common precursor to barium-containing compounds such as ferrites.
Barium carbonate is widely used in the ceramics industry as an ingredient in glazes. It acts as a flux, a matting, and crystallizing agent and combines with certain coloring oxides to produce unique colors not easily attainable by other means. Its use is somewhat controversial since some claim that it can leach from glazes into food and drink. To provide a safe means of use, BaO is often used in the fritted form.
In the brick, tile, earthenware, and pottery industries barium carbonate are added to clays to precipitate soluble salts (calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate) that cause efflorescence.
Uses of Barium Carbonate – BaCO3
Barium carbonate has many major commercial applications in the glass, brick, oil-drilling, ceramics, photographic and chemical industries.
Used as a raw material for the manufacture of barium oxide (BaO) and barium peroxide (BaO2).
Used as a rodenticide, its appearance is similar to that of flour which has been responsible for most unintentional barium poisoning.
Barium carbonate is a white insoluble salt that finds its largest use in the ceramics industry in the production of ceramic products.
