  2. Barium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_sulfate

    Barium sulfate (or sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ba SO 4. It is a white crystalline solid that is odorless and insoluble in water. It occurs in nature as the mineral barite, which is the main commercial source of barium and materials prepared from it. Its opaque white appearance and its high density are exploited ...

  3. Baryte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryte

    Historically, baryte was used for the production of barium hydroxide for sugar refining, and as a white pigment for textiles, paper, and paint. [3] Although baryte contains the toxic alkaline earth metal barium, it is not detrimental for human health, animals, plants and the environment because barium sulfate is extremely insoluble in water.

  4. Barium sulfate suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_sulfate_suspension

    The use of barium during pregnancy is safe for the baby; however, X-rays may result in harm. [4] Barium sulfate suspension is typically made by mixing barium sulfate powder with water. [1] It is a non-iodinated contrast media. [5] Barium sulfate has been known since the Middle Ages. [6] In the United States it had come into common medical use ...

  7. Radiocontrast agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocontrast_agent

    Barium sulfate, an insoluble white powder, is typically used for enhancing contrast in the GI tract. Depending on how it is to be administered the compound is mixed with water, thickeners, de-clumping agents, and flavourings to make the contrast agent. As the barium sulfate doesn't dissolve, this type of contrast agent is an opaque white mixture.

  8. Sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate

    Radium sulfate is the most insoluble sulfate known. The barium derivative is useful in the gravimetric analysis of sulfate: if one adds a solution of most barium salts, for instance barium chloride, to a solution containing sulfate ions, barium sulfate will precipitate out of solution as a whitish powder. This is a common laboratory test to ...

  9. Barium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium

    Barium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ba and atomic number 56. It is the fifth element in group 2 and is a soft, silvery alkaline earth metal. Because of its high chemical reactivity, barium is never found in nature as a free element. The most common minerals of barium are barite (barium sulfate, BaSO 4) and witherite (barium carbonate ...
