Application
Barium hydroxide is mainly used in the petroleum industry additives and animal and plant oil refining, also used in the manufacture of barium salt, synthetic rubber hardener, remove boiler scale, glass components, water softening and medicine, plastic Chemicalbook, glass, enamel and other industries. Barium hydroxide can also be used as a standard base for quantitative analysis, determination of carbon dioxide content, etc. Barium hydroxide should be stored in a sealed dry warehouse and not mixed with acids.
Commercially, barium hydroxide is a precursor to other barium compounds. Its monohydrate can be used to dehydrate and remove sulfates from the product. It is used in analytical chemistry to titrate weak acids, especially organic acids. It is also used to decarboxylate amino acids and release barium carbonate.
