Barium Bromide powder is a white crystalline powder consisting of barium ions and bromide ions, which is easily soluble in water and plays a role in the fields of medicine, chemical analysis and photography.
Properties
Appearance: White crystalline powder or white crystals.
Density: Anhydrous barium bromide has a density of 4.78 g/cm³.
Melting point: Anhydrous barium bromide has a high melting point of about 850℃.
Boiling point: about 1835℃
Solubility: easily soluble in water, soluble in methanol, but almost insoluble in ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone and dioxane.
Hygroscopicity: It has a certain degree of hygroscopicity.
Refractive index: about 1.173
Chemical formula: BaBr₂, composed of barium ions (Ba²⁺) and bromide ions (Br-).
Chemical reactivity: it can react with sulphate ions to produce insoluble barium sulphate precipitate; it will undergo a certain degree of hydrolysis in water to produce barium hydroxide and hydrobromic acid.
Stability: It is relatively stable at room temperature and pressure, but may undergo chemical reactions under conditions of high temperature and strong oxidising agents.
Applications
Photographic Industry:
Photographic materials: it can be used in the manufacture of photographic film and other photographic products, playing a certain role in the photographic process to help form a clear image. It can be used as a component in photographic materials to participate in the process of light sensitivity and imaging.
Oxidising agent: it can be used as an oxidising agent in some chemical reactions to promote the reaction. For example, in some organic synthesis reactions, barium bromide can help oxidise certain compounds to make them undergo specific chemical changes.
Anti-corrosion agent: Due to its chemical properties, it can be used as an anti-corrosion agent in some specific industrial environments to protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
Metallurgical flux: It can be used as a flux in the metallurgical process to lower the melting point of metals, promote the melting and purification of metals, and improve the efficiency and quality of the metallurgical process.
Preparation of other barium compounds: It is an important raw material for the preparation of other barium compounds, and by reacting with other chemical substances, it can synthesise a variety of barium compounds with specific functions and uses to meet the needs of different industrial fields.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo.
