Barium Hydroxide is a compound that is a strong base and finds broad applications in various industries. It is mainly used in synthetic rubber vulcanization and as a stabilizer for plastics. It also finds huge applications in the production of soaps, lubricants, and greases. It is also used as a catalyst in various chemical processes for producing barium compounds for industrial use. Also, other major applications of the compound include sugar processing and fat saponification. It is also used in pesticides and in the production of alkali and glass.

The primary factor that drives the market for Barium hydroxide is its application in rubber industry in vulcanization and in the production of certain thermoplastics like phenolic resins, which contributes to its demand. Its application in the form of an additive for producing greases and lubricants effectively promotes its demand in the lubricant industry. Additionally, its employment in fat saponification and sugar fabrication also regarded as a major factor driving its market. Overall, the availability of feedstocks (barium oxide, etc.), their cost, their applications in the rubber industry, logistics, sustainability practices, supplier relationships, and quality standards are some factors that largely influence industrial Barium Hydroxide procurement.

Raw Material for Barium Hydroxide Production

According to the Barium Hydroxide manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Barium Hydroxide production include Barium Oxide-Water.

Manufacturing Process of Barium Hydroxide

The extensive Barium Hydroxide production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

1. Production from Barium Oxide: This method of production uses barium oxide (BaO) as the starting material, which is reacted with water at a temperature of 443 to 1593 K to produce barium hydroxide in gaseous form. The process involves the reaction of barium oxide with water, which results in the formation of barium hydroxide octahydrate. Further, barium hydroxide octahydrate is heated at around 78 °C in air to obtain barium hydroxide monohydrate.

Barium Hydroxide is a chemical compound consisting of barium, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The molecular formula of this compound is Ba(OH)2, and its pH is typically 13. This odorless, white powdered compound has a unique property: it's deliquescent, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air and turn into a liquid. Its primary preparation involves a chemical reaction between barium oxide and water. The outcome is initially in the octahydrate form. With a density of approximately 4.495 g/cm3, Barium Hydroxide is soluble in water and methanol but not in acetone. Its solubility in ethanol is minimal.

Its molar mass is 171.34 g/mol and is used in the production of chemicals and lubricants. In analytical chemistry, it is valuable for titrating weak acids, especially organic ones. The free aqueous solutions it forms are devoid of carbonate, thus facilitating the use of indicators and reducing titration errors stemming from weak basic carbonate ions. In the realm of organic compound synthesis, it plays a role in the hydrolysis of esters and nitriles and aids in producing cyclopentanone and diacetone alcohol.
