Ceramics Industry Ingredient Barium Carbonate Powder White Color ISO9001 Approval

Barium carbonate is widely used in the ceramics

industry as an ingredient in glazes

►Description

       Barium carbonateis a white powder. Barium carbonate is insoluble in water and

soluble in most acids, with the exception of sulfuric acid. Barium carbonate has a

specific gravity of 4.275. Barium carbonate is toxic by ingestion.

      Barium carbonate is made commercially from barium sulfide either by

treatment with sodium carbonate at 60 to 70 °C (soda ash method) or by passing

carbon dioxide at 40 to 90 °C.In the soda ash process, solid or dissolved sodium

carbonate is added to barium sulfide solution, and the barium carbonate precipitate

is filtered, washed and dried.

►Application 

Barium carbonate is widely used in the ceramics industry as an ingredient in glazes

Other application 

Barium carbonate  acts as a flux, a matting and crystallizing agent and

combines with certain colouring oxides to produce unique colours 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 fritted form.

In the brick, tile, earthenware and pottery industries barium carbonate is

added to clays to precipitate soluble salts (calcium sulfate and magnesium

sulfate) that cause efflorescence.

►Warning 

 Harmful if swallowed.

Use personal protective equipment.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
