Barium Bromide Dihydrate

Barium Bromide Dihydrate powder is a compound powder containing the elements of barium (Ba) and bromine (Br) with two crystalline waters, which is usually in the form of white crystals, and has some applications in the fields of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Properties

Chemical formula: BaBr2- 2H2O

Chemical stability: relatively stable at room temperature and pressure, but care should be taken to avoid contact with strong oxidising agents and other substances to prevent chemical reactions.

Appearance: white crystalline powder

Density: 3.58 g/cm³

Melting point: 880°C

Solubility: soluble in water, methanol, soluble in ethanol, insoluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, dioxane.

Hygroscopicity: due to the presence of water of crystallisation, the substance has a certain degree of hygroscopicity, and attention needs to be paid to moisture-proofing during storage and use.

Toxicity: Barium Bromide Dihydrate has a certain degree of toxicity, ingestion or inhalation may cause harm to the human body.

Applications

Reactant or catalyst in chemical synthesis:
In some organic synthesis reactions Barium Bromide Dihydrate can participate in the reaction as a reactant to help synthesise specific organic compounds.
In some chemical reactions Barium Bromide Dihydrate plays a catalytic role, although it is not the most commonly used catalyst, but it has a certain catalytic effect in specific reaction systems, which can accelerate the progress of the reaction.

Reagent in laboratory research:
In chemical analysis experiments, they can be used to detect and analyse other substances. For example, they are used to help determine the presence or nature of certain substances by producing specific phenomena or products through chemical reactions with those substances.
Commonly used in a variety of chemical experiments and research projects in university chemistry laboratories, scientific research institutes and other places to help researchers explore chemical principles and reaction mechanisms.

Raw materials in industrial production:
In the coatings and paints industry, barium bromide dihydrate is used as an additive to improve the properties of coatings and paints. It can improve the water resistance, chemical resistance, and hardness of coatings, making coatings and paints more durable and stable.
In the production of some special materials, such as some ceramic materials and glass materials, barium bromide dihydrate can be used as one of the raw materials to participate in the production process and give specific properties to the materials.

Applications in the pharmaceutical field: In the pharmaceutical industry, although it is not the main drug ingredient, it may be used as an intermediate or auxiliary ingredient in the preparation process of certain drugs.
