Feedstock for Barium Chromate

The manufacturing of barium chromate uses barium chloride and sodium chromate as the major feedstock. The fluctuations in its prices and availability affect the production of barium chromate.

The sourcing of barium chloride is affected by factors like production methods, market demand, cost dynamics, etc. The method of production is a two-step process using barium sulfate conversion to barium sulfide, followed by a reaction with hydrochloric acid affects its production costs. The changes in the prices of key raw materials like barite (Fluctuations in the mining industry can impact barite availability and pricing) and hydrochloric acid directly affect production costs. Its production is an energy-intensive process, and changes in energy prices affect overall costs. Its demand in industries like construction, chemicals, and electronics further affects its prices and availability.

Sodium chromate is another major feedstock used in the production of sodium chromate. Its procurement is affected by fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials such as chromium ores (its demand in stainless steel production directly impacts its availability, pricing, and purchasing) and sodium carbonate (changes in its demand in glass manufacturing, detergents, and chemicals directly impact its procurement). The changes in its demand for manufacturing pigments for paints and coatings, as well as in the production of chromium compounds for metal finishing and electroplating, affect its sourcing.

• By Double Displacement Reaction: The feedstock for this process includes barium chloride and sodium chromate.

The manufacturing process of barium chromate involves a double displacement reaction. In this process, barium chloride reacts with sodium chromate, leading to the formation of barium chromate. After this, the precipitate is washed, filtered, and dried to get barium chromate as the final product.
 

Properties of Barium Chromate

Barium chromate has a molecular formula of BaCrO4 and has a molecular weight of 253.37 g/mol. It is a yellow powder with a density in the range of 4.45–4.49 g/cm³. It decomposes at 210 degree Celsius, which makes it thermally stable under moderate heat conditions. It is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in strong mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid. It appears as a bi-refracting rhombic plate, and its refractive index ranges from 1.94 to 1.98. It is an oxidizing agent that contains hexavalent chromium (+6 oxidation state) that contributes to its reactivity and toxicity. It reacts with hydrogen ions to produce barium ions (Ba²?) and dichromate ions (Cr2O7²?) along with water molecules. It produces green flames because of the presence of barium ions. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in applications like pigments, pyrotechnics, corrosion inhibitors, and metal primers.
