Barium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula Ba S. BaS is the barium compound produced on the largest scale. [3] It is an important precursor to other barium compounds including BaCO 3 and the pigment lithopone, ZnS/BaSO 4. [4] Like other chalcogenides of the alkaline earth metals, BaS is a short wavelength emitter for electronic ...
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.
Barium carbonate is made commercially from barium sulfide by treatment with sodium carbonate at 60 to 70 °C (soda ash method) or, more commonly carbon dioxide at 40 to 90 °C: In the soda ash process, an aqueous solution of barium sulfide is treated with sodium carbonate: [5] BaS + H 2 O + CO 2 → BaCO 3 + H 2 S
[9]: 7 It is then reduced by carbon to barium sulfide: [9]: 6 BaSO 4 + 2 C → BaS + 2 CO 2. The water-soluble barium sulfide is the starting point for other compounds: treating BaS with oxygen produces the sulfate, with nitric acid the nitrate, with aqueous carbon dioxide the carbonate, and so on.
Barium sulfite is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula BaSO 3. It is a white powder that finds few applications. It is an intermediate in the carbothermal reduction of barium sulfate to barium sulfide: [2] BaSO 4 + CO → BaSO 3 + CO 2
Barium hydroxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Ba(OH) 2. The monohydrate ( x = 1), known as baryta or baryta-water, is one of the principal compounds of barium . This white granular monohydrate is the usual commercial form.
Barium bromide can be prepared by treating barium sulfide or barium carbonate with hydrobromic acid: BaS + 2 HBr → BaBr 2 + H 2 S BaCO 3 + 2 HBr → BaBr 2 + CO 2 + H 2 O. Barium bromide crystallizes from concentrated aqueous solution in its dihydrate, BaBr 2 ·2H 2 O. Heating this dihydrate to 120 °C gives the anhydrous salt. [6]
Lithopone is produced by coprecipitation of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. Most commonly coprecipitation is effected by combining equimolar amounts of zinc sulfate and barium sulfide: BaS + ZnSO 4 → ZnS · BaSO 4. This route affords a product that is 29.4 wt % ZnS and 70.6 wt % BaSO 4.
