Barium Chloride is an inorganic compound
with the formula BaCl2. It is one of the most common
water-soluble salts of barium. Like other barium salts, it is
toxic and imparts a yellow-green coloration to a flame. It is
also hygroscopic.
Barium Chloride Dihydrate is used
as
wastewater treatment
production of PVC stabilizers, oil
lubricants, barium chromate and barium
fluoride.
Case hardening of steels
Production of PVC stabilizers, oil
lubricants, barium chromate and barium fluoride.
As an inexpensive, soluble salt of barium,
Barium Chloride finds wide application in the laboratory. It is
commonly used as a test for sulfate ion.
In industry, Barium Chloride is mainly used
in the purification of brine solution in caustic chlorine
plants and also in the manufacture of heat treatment salts,
case hardening of steel, in the manufacture of pigments, and in
the manufacture of other barium salts.
Barium Chloride is also used in fireworks
to give a bright green color.
Barium Chloride Dihydrate is widely used for
the production of barium titanate by the oxalate process, in the
production of special glass and in the preparation of
pharmaceutical intermediates
