Description

Barium carbonate (BaCO3) is a white, odorless, inorganic compound that occurs naturally as the mineral witherite. It is a key component in the production of barium chemicals, including barium hydroxide and barium chloride. Barium carbonate is produced commercially through the reaction of barium sulfide with sodium carbonate. This compound is used in various industrial applications, such as:
* **Ceramic glazes and enamels:** It serves as a flux, lowering the melting point of the glaze and promoting fluidity.
* **Glassmaking:** Barium carbonate enhances the refractive index and brilliance of glass.
* **Pigments:** It is used as a white pigment in paints and plastics.
* **Rat poisons:** Due to its toxicity, barium carbonate is used as a rodenticide.
* **Other applications:** Barium carbonate finds applications in the manufacturing of fireworks, pyrotechnics, and special effects.
* **Research:** Barium carbonate is studied for its potential applications in areas such as nanotechnology and energy storage.'
