Frequent Uses

Ceramic and Glass Manufacturing
Used extensively in the production of ceramics and glass. It is a key ingredient in the formulation of glazes for ceramics, where it helps to reduce the melting point and improve the stability of the glaze. In glass production, it is used to improve the chemical properties of the glass and to enhance its clarity.

Chemical Synthesis
In the synthesis of a variety of barium compounds, such as barium hydroxide and barium oxide. These compounds are further utilised in industrial processes, including the production of other chemicals, lubricants, and advanced materials.

Petroleum Refining
In the petroleum and gas industries, it is used in the refining process. It helps in removing impurities from crude oil and gas, improving the quality of the final products by acting as a scavenger for sulphur compounds and other contaminants.

Laboratory Reagent
As a reagent in laboratory analyses. It is employed in chemical testing and synthesis, where it is used in the preparation of solutions for titrations, as well as in experiments that require a source of barium ions or carbonate ions.

Water Treatment
Occasionally used in water treatment to remove sulphate and other contaminants from water. It helps to purify water by reacting with unwanted ions, thereby reducing the concentration of harmful substances in water supplies.

Steel Production
In the production of steel, where it is employed as a fluxing agent in the refining of steel. It helps to remove impurities such as phosphorus and sulphur, thereby improving the quality and properties of the steel
