colorless cubic crystals. The relative density was 5. 72. The melting point is 1918 °c and the boiling point is about 2000 °c. Soluble in acid, insoluble in acetone and ammonia. With water to form barium hydroxide. In the air is very easy to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide and the formation of barium carbonate. Toxic!
barium oxide can be obtained by calcining finely ground high-purity barium nitrate at 1000 to 1050 °c. Alternatively, barium carbonate is mixed with coke, and the reaction is carried out at a temperature below 1200 ° C. To obtain a barium oxide product.
used in glass, ceramic industry, also used in sugar beet refining. It is a raw material for the manufacture of barium peroxide and barium salts. It can also be used as a dehydrating agent and an efficient desiccant.
