Barium acetate is a barium salt of acetic acid that is used as a precursor in making barium-containing compounds. It works as a reagent in the gravimetric determination of sulfates as it precipitates them as insoluble barium sulfate. It is used as a precursor for barium oxide in ceramics and glass production to improve their refractive index and insulation properties. It is used in pyrotechnics and fireworks to provide vibrant green color to flames and improve visual displays.

It is utilized in textile and leather industries as a mordant in dyeing processes to enhance color fastness and vibrancy. It is used in the medical field for the production of barium sulfate, which is used as a contrast agent in X-ray imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. It is also used as an additive in polymers and coatings to improve opacity and mechanical strength. It is employed in environmental remediation for removing sulfate ions from wastewater. It works as a catalyst in organic synthesis, a lubricant additive, and a precursor for barium titanate in dielectric capacitors and energy storage systems.

Feedstock for Barium Acetate

The manufacturing of barium acetate uses barium carbonate, barium sulfide, and acetic acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the production of barium acetate.

The sourcing of barium carbonate is driven by factors like raw materials availability, changes in its supply-demand, etc. The changes in the supply and pricing of its major feedstock like barium sulfide (changing demand in pigment production and chemical synthesis affects barium sulfide procurement) and carbon dioxide (choice of production method either by natural sources or capture technologies affects its prices) affect barium carbonate prices and availability. The increasing energy prices affect the overall production costs as the process requires a good amount of energy input. The changes in demand in the ceramics, glass, electronics, and chemicals industries directly impact its procurement.

Barium sulfide is another first line of raw material used in the production of barium acetate. The procurement of this compound is affected by the changes in the availability and prices of its raw materials like barium carbonate and sulfur (fluctuations in the prices of crude oil and natural gas impact extraction costs of sulfur). The changes in its demand for the production of luminous paints, phosphors, and metallurgy directly affect its procurement.

Acetic acid is another major feedstock used in the manufacturing of barium acetate. The availability and prices of its raw materials, methanol (the choice of production processes like natural gas reforming, coal gasification, and biomass and renewable sources affects its prices) and carbon monoxide (use in chemical synthesis, energy sector, and environmental applications affects carbon monoxide market dynamics) impacts its procurement costs. The changes in its demand in chemicals, food preservation, and pharmaceuticals sectors further affect its prices and availability.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Barium Acetate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Barium Acetate manufacturing.

• From Barium Carbonate and Acetic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes barium carbonate with acetic acid.

The manufacturing process of barium acetate involves the reaction of barium carbonate with acetic acid. In this process, barium carbonate is added to an aqueous solution of acetic acid, and this reaction leads to the formation of barium acetate. After the reaction, the solution containing barium acetate is concentrated and crystallized to get pure barium acetate as the final product.

• From Barium Sulfide and Acetic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes barium sulfide and acetic acid.

The production process of barium acetate involves a reaction between barium sulfide and acetic acid. In this process, barium sulfide reacts with acetic acid, which leads to the formation of barium acetate. After the reaction, the mixture goes through solvent evaporation followed by crystallization to get pure barium acetate as the final product.
 

Properties of Barium Acetate

Barium acetate has a molecular formula of Ba (CH3COO)2 and a molecular weight of 255.42 g/mol. It is a white, odorless crystalline powder with a density of 2.46 g/mL. It is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol and methanol. It decomposes upon heating at around 450 degree Celsius into barium carbonate. It reacts with acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid to form corresponding salts like barium sulfate, chloride, and nitrate. It can crystallize in different forms and produces anhydrous crystals above 41 degree Celsius and monohydrate crystals between 25 and 40 degree Celsius. It is classified as toxic under acute toxicity and requires careful handling because of its harmful effects on the digestive system, heart, muscles, and nervous system. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in textiles, paints, lubricating oils, and organic synthesis.
