Barium Sulfate Lab Grade


Key Points

  1. Chemical Formula and Structure: Barium sulfate has the chemical formula BaSO₄. It is composed of barium (Ba), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O) atoms, forming a white crystalline solid.
  2. Purity: Lab-grade barium sulfate is highly pure, ensuring minimal impurities that could interfere with experimental results.
  3. Physical Properties: It is a dense, white powder that is insoluble in water and most acids and bases, with a high melting point of 1580°C.
  4. Density: Barium sulfate is known for its high density (approximately 4.5 g/cm³), which makes it useful in applications requiring heavy materials.
  5. Inertness: It is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with other chemicals under normal laboratory conditions, ensuring stability during experiments.
  6. Non-Toxicity: In its pure form, barium sulfate is considered non-toxic and safe for handling in laboratory environments, although precautions should still be taken to avoid inhalation of the powder.

Uses of Barium Sulfate in Laboratories (Key Points)

  1. Analytical Chemistry: Used as a standard in gravimetric analysis for the quantitative determination of sulfate ion concentrations.
  2. Radiology: In medical laboratories, it is used as a radiopaque agent for imaging studies, such as X-rays and CT scans, to enhance the contrast of certain body parts.
  3. Pigment: Employed as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics due to its brightness and high refractive index.
  4. Filler: Utilized as a filler in the production of rubber, plastics, and resins to improve the density and mechanical properties of the final product.
  5. Catalyst Support: Acts as a support material for catalysts in certain chemical reactions, providing a stable base without interfering with the reaction.
  6. Oil and Gas Drilling: Used in the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling fluids to increase the density of the fluid and control the pressure in the well.

Precautions When Using Barium Sulfate in Laboratories (Key Points)

  1. Avoid Inhalation: While barium sulfate is non-toxic, inhaling fine dust particles can cause respiratory irritation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and work in a well-ventilated area.
  2. Handling and Storage: Store barium sulfate in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances.
  3. Spill Management: In case of a spill, avoid creating dust. Clean up using methods that minimize dust generation, such as wet sweeping or using a vacuum with a HEPA filter.
  4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear gloves, safety goggles, and lab coats to prevent skin and eye contact. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
  5. Disposal: Dispose of barium sulfate waste according to local regulations. Do not release it into the environment or down the drain. Collect and label waste for proper disposal.
  6. First Aid Measures: In case of accidental inhalation, move to fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms persist. For skin or eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation develops.
