Barium sources

Although the conunercially available copper and yttrium precursors Cu(tmhd)2 and Y(tmhd)3(H20) readily sublime imder ambient pressures between 125 and 160°C, much higher temperatures (>250 °C) are required for the equivalent barium source, Ba(tmhd)2 . Thus, although progress has been made, currently the future development of CVD for SMO applications is hampered by the lack of suitable group 2 precursors, particularly those of Ba. Precmsor development for CVD of group 2 containing materials has focused primarily on substituted acac complexes. ...

It is claimed that over 50% of all organic structures can be represented by less than 25 characters, witherite, BaCOj. The white mineral form of barium carbonate. Used as a source of Ba compounds and in the brick and ceramic industries.

Typically, soHd stabilizers utilize natural saturated fatty acid ligands with chain lengths of Cg—C g. Ziac stearate [557-05-1/, ziac neodecanoate [27253-29-8] calcium stearate [1592-23-0] barium stearate [6865-35-6] and cadmium laurate [2605-44-9] are some examples. To complete the package, the soHd products also contain other soHd additives such as polyols, antioxidants, and lubricants. Liquid stabilizers can make use of metal soaps of oleic acid, tall oil acids, 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, octylphenol, and nonylphenol. Barium bis(nonylphenate) [41157-58-8] ziac 2-ethyIhexanoate [136-53-8], cadmium 2-ethyIhexanoate [2420-98-6], and overbased barium tallate [68855-79-8] are normally used ia the Hquid formulations along with solubilizers such as plasticizers, phosphites, and/or epoxidized oils. The majority of the Hquid barium—cadmium formulations rely on barium nonylphenate as the source of that metal. There are even some mixed metal stabilizers suppHed as pastes. The U.S. FDA approved calcium—zinc stabilizers are good examples because they contain a mixture of calcium stearate and ziac stearate suspended ia epoxidized soya oil. Table 4 shows examples of typical mixed metal stabilizers. 

Chromium Chromate. Chromium chromate treatment baths are acidic and made up from sources of hexavalent chromium and complex fluoride, fluorosiHcate, fluorozirconate, fluorotitanate, and siHcofluorides. Optional additional components added to accelerate coating rate are free fluoride, ferricyanide, and other metal salts such as barium nitrate. Conversion coating on aluminum precedes by the following reactions (2,3,17) ... 

Calcium—Silicon. Calcium—silicon and calcium—barium—siUcon are made in the submerged-arc electric furnace by carbon reduction of lime, sihca rock, and barites. Commercial calcium—silicon contains 28—32% calcium, 60—65% siUcon, and 3% iron (max). Barium-bearing alloys contains 16—20% calcium, 9—12% barium, and 53—59% sihcon. Calcium can also be added as an ahoy containing 10—13% calcium, 14—18% barium, 19—21% aluminum, and 38—40% shicon These ahoys are used to deoxidize and degasify steel. They produce complex calcium shicate inclusions that are minimally harm fill to physical properties and prevent the formation of alumina-type inclusions, a principal source of fatigue failure in highly stressed ahoy steels. As a sulfide former, they promote random distribution of sulfides, thereby minimizing chain-type inclusions. In cast iron, they are used as an inoculant. 

Barite [13462-86-7], natural barium sulfate, BaSO, commonly known as barytes, and sometimes as heavy spar, tiU, or cawk, occurs in many geological environments in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Commercial deposits are of three types vein and cavity filling deposits residual deposits and bedded deposits. Most commercial sources are replacement deposits in limestone, dolomitic sandstone, and shales, or residual deposits caused by differential weathering that result in lumps of barite enclosed in clay. Barite is widely distributed and has minable deposits in many countries. 

Barium nitrate is prepared by reaction of BaCO and nitric acid, filtration and evaporative crystallization, or by dissolving sodium nitrate in a saturated solution of barium chloride, with subsequent precipitation of barium nitrate. The precipitate is centrifuged, washed, and dried. Barium nitrate is used in pyrotechnic green flares, tracer buUets, primers, and in detonators. These make use of its property of easy decomposition as well as its characteristic green flame. A small amount is used as a source of barium oxide in enamels. 

This method is used for the determination of total chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), beiylhum (Be), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), phosphorus (P), thalhum (Tl), silver (Ag), antimony (Sb), barium (Ba), and mer-cuiy (Hg) stack emissions from stationaiy sources. This method may also be used for the determination of particulate emissions fohowing the procedures and precautions described. However, modifications to the sample recoveiy and analysis procedures described in the method for the purpose of determining particulate emissions may potentially impacl the front-half mercury determination.

Refinements have been made on the source term calculational methods since WASH-1400. The general trend has been toward source term reduction (e.g., the iodine release for the large LOCA) as compared with the RSS results. In cases such as Station Blackout, the RSS underestimated the tellurium and barium compared with results from the BMI-2104 suite. 

Electrolysis of acidified water using platinum electrodes is a convenient source of hydrogen (and oxygen) and, on a larger scale, very pure hydrogen (>99.95%) can be obtained from the electrolysis of warm aqueous solutions of barium hydroxide between nickel electrodes. The method is expensive but becomes economical...

FIGURE 22 Obsidian in the eastern Mediterranean Sea area. Studying the relative concentration of trace elements in obsidian makes it possible to identify the obsidian and to determine its provenance. Determining the relative amounts of barium and zirconium in ancient obsidian tools and in samples from different sources of the natural glass, for example, made it possible to identify the provenance of obsidian used in eastern Mediterranean Sea area sites (Renfrew and Dixon 1976).
