Barium Iodide is an inorganic compound with several commercial applications. The compound is widely used as a source of iodide ions in various chemical synthesis processes. It also finds its application in the preparation of iodine derivatives, which are further used in manufacturing pharmaceutical drugs and pesticides. It is also used in the identification of copper castings. It is often used in the synthesis of barium dioxide. Additionally, it also finds its application as a photographic developer and makes the image look clearer.

The demand for Barium Iodide is mainly driven by its application as building block for the synthesis of iodine-containing compound, which contributes to its market growth. Its application in the preparation of barium dioxide further enhances its demand in the chemical manufacturing industry. The involvement of its derivatives in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and pesticides, largely promotes its demand in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its usage in the photography industry to improve the contrast of an image also highlights its demand. Overall, the availability of raw materials (barium carbonate, etc.), adherence to quality standards, price and cost, supply chain relationship, sustainability practices, and logistics are some of the crucial factors that influence industrial Barium Iodide procurement worldwide.

Raw Material for Barium Iodide Production

According to the Barium Iodide manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Barium Iodide production include Barium Carbonate-Hydrogen Iodide; Barium Hydride-Ammonium Iodide.

Manufacturing Process of Barium Iodide

The extensive Barium Iodide production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:

• Production from Barium Carbonate: This method of production involves the process of neutralization of barium carbonate to synthesize barium iodide as the product. The synthesis begins with the neutralization reaction of barium carbonate with hydrogen iodide in water, followed by dehydration leads to the formation of anhydrous barium iodide as the product.
• Production from Barium Hydride: In this method, barium hydride and ammonium iodide are used as the starting materials for the synthesis of barium iodide as the product. The process is initiated by the reaction of barium hydride with ammonium iodide in pyridine, which results in the formation of barium iodide as the final product.

Barium Iodide (BaI2) is an inorganic chemical compound that mainly consists of one barium ion and two iodide ions. It is a white crystalline chemical that is soluble in water. The molecular weight of the compound is 391.14 g/mol, and its density is about 5.15 g/cm³. Moreover, the melting point of the compound is 711 °C, and it starts decomposing on heating. Hence, it does not have a defined boiling point. Being hygroscopic, it can absorb moisture from the air. It is odorless and has different properties in its anhydrous and dihydrate forms. The hydration in the dihydrate form enhances its solubility in water, acetone, and ethanol. Anhydrous Barium Iodide is a stable salt but is sensitive to air, light, and moisture.
