Barium Carbonate Powder

Barium Carbonate Powder

Barium carbonate powder as a common ore has some important industrial applications in the production of other barium salts, pigments, optical glass, ceramics, electrical capacitors and barium ferrite. It is also used as a precursor for the production of superconductors and ceramic materials. Until now, various methods have been used to prepare  BaCO₃ powder, including microemulsion-mediated solvothermic route, inverted micelle method, semi-batch crystallization process, self-organized formation, sonochemical synthesis, electrodeposition, etc. There are three polymorphisms of  BaCO₃ powder, namely, orthorhombic , hexagonal and cubic, but only the orthorhombic phase is obtained under ambient conditions. As for the crystalline habits, there are mainly barium carbonates in the form of sticks, needles and olives. Rod-and-needle-like habits were achieved via a room temperature carbonation path. In the presence of work, we synthesized BaCO₃ powder nanostructures through a simple hydrothermal approach, which is a simple and rapid method for the synthesis of various nanostructured materials. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Several parameters such as Ba2+ have been studied: molar ratio, temperature and reaction time to the size and morphology of the product.
