Barium is a soft alkaline earth metal, below strontium and above radium in group 2. It is highly reactive, forms Ba²⁺ compounds almost exclusively, and is not found free in nature. Its most important minerals are barite, barium sulfate, and witherite, barium carbonate. The element is technologically significant less as a metal than through dense, insoluble, or optically useful compounds.
Barium is a metallic element, soft, and when pure is silvery white; it belongs to the alkaline earth group, chemically resembling calcium. The metal oxidizes very easily and should be kept under petroleum or other suitable oxygen-free liquids to exclude air. It is decomposed by water or alcohol.
Barium was first isolated by Sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist, in 1808 through the electrolysis of molten baryta (BaO). Barium is never found free in nature since it reacts with oxygen in the air, forming barium oxide (BaO), and with water, forming barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). Barium is most commonly found as the mineral barite (BaSO4) and witherite (BaCO3) and is primarily produced through the electrolysis of barium chloride (BaCl2).
From the Greek word barys, heavy. Baryta was distinguished from lime by Scheele in 1774; the element was discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808.
Pure barium is a silvery-white to pale yellow metal when freshly cut. It tarnishes rapidly in air as oxide, nitride, and peroxide-containing surface films form. The metal is soft, relatively dense for an alkaline earth metal, and is normally stored under oil or inert gas.
Elemental barium has limited direct use because of its reactivity. It has been used as a getter in vacuum tubes, where it removes residual gases by forming stable compounds. Barium compounds have broader roles: barium sulfate (BaSO₄) is used as a radiopaque contrast material and as an inert filler; barium titanate (BaTiO₃) is a ferroelectric ceramic used in capacitors and related devices; and barium nitrate (Ba(NO₃)₂) and barium chlorate (Ba(ClO₃)₂) can produce green colors in pyrotechnics.
Barium is used as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes.
Barium sulfate (BaSO4), a common barium compound, is used as a filler for rubber, plastics and resins. It can be combined with zinc oxide (ZnO) to make a white pigment known as lithophone or with sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to make another white pigment known as blanc fixe. Stones made from impure barium sulfate glow when exposed to light and will glow in the dark for up to six years if intensely heated in the presence of charcoal. These stones, known as Bologna stones, were discovered near Bologna, Italy in the early 1500s and were thought to possess magical properties by alchemists. Although all barium compounds are poisonous, barium sulfate can be safely ingested since it does not dissolve in water. It is also a good absorber of X-rays and, when swallowed, can be used to produce X-ray images of the intestinal tract.
Barium carbonate (BaCO3), another common barium compound, is used in the manufacture of ceramics and some types of glass. It is a component in clay slurries used in drilling oil wells. Barium carbonate is used to purify some chemical solutions and is the primary base material for the manufacture of other barium compounds.
Barium forms several other useful compounds. Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) burns with a bright green color and is used in signal flares and fireworks. Barium chloride (BaCl) is used as a water softener. Barium oxide (BaO) easily absorbs moisture and is used as a desiccant. Barium peroxide (BaO2) forms hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) when it is mixed with water and is used as a bleaching agent that activates when wet. Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is used as a dielectric material in capacitors. Barium ferrite (BaO·6Fe2O3) is used to make magnets.
Barium-137m, a radioactive form of barium produced by the decay of cesium-137, has a relatively short half-life and is commonly used in high school and college physics half-life determination experiments.
The metal is used as a "getter" in vacuum tubes. The most important compounds are the peroxide, chloride, sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, and chlorate. Lithopone, a pigment containing barium sulfate and zinc sulfide, has good covering power, and does not darken in the presence of sulfides. The sulfate, as permanent white is also used in paint, in X-ray diagnostic work, and in glassmaking. Barite is extensively used as a weighing agent in oil well drilling fluids, and is used in making rubber. The carbonate has been used as a rat poison, while the nitrate and chlorate give colors in pyrotechnics. The impure sulfide phosphoresces after exposure to the light. All barium compounds that are water or acid soluble are poisonous. Naturally occurring barium is a mixture of seven stable isotopes. Twenty two other radioactive isotopes are known to exist.
Isotopes in Earth/Planetary Science
Because molecules, atoms, and ions of the stable isotopes of barium possess slightly different physical and chemical properties, they can be fractionated during physical, chemical, and biological processes, giving rise to variations in isotopic abundances and in atomic weights. von Allmen et al. [410] K. v. Allmen, M. E. Böttcher, E. Samankassou, T. F. Nägler. Chem. Geol.277, 70 (2010). observed barium isotopic fractionation in the global barium cycle (Fig. IUPAC.56.1).
High-precision barium isotope measurements reveal differences of up to 25 parts per million in the isotope-amount ratio n(137Ba)/n(136Ba) and 60 parts per million in the n(138Ba)/n(136Ba) ratio between chondrites and the Earth. These differences probably arose from incomplete mixing of nucleosynthetic material in the solar nebula. Barium isotopes may be the decay products of now-extinct 135Cs (with a half-life of about 1.6×106 years), which is thought to be a nucleosynthetic component. Chondritic meteorites have a slight excess of supernova-derived material as compared to Earth, demonstrating that the solar nebula was not perfectly homogenized upon formation (Fig. IUPAC.56.1) [411] M. C. Ranen, S. B. Jacobsen. Science314, 809 (2006)., [412] H. Hidaka, Y. Ohta, S. Yoneda. Earth. Planet. Sci. Lett.214, 455 (2003)., [413] S. B. Jacobsen, M. C. Ranen. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta70, A286 (2006)..
Barium chemistry is dominated by the +2 oxidation state and by large, mostly ionic Ba²⁺ salts. Barium oxide (BaO) is a basic oxide, while barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) is a strong base. Barium sulfate (BaSO₄) is exceptionally insoluble, a property central to analytical sulfate tests and medical contrast use. Barium carbonate (BaCO₃), barium chloride (BaCl₂), and barium nitrate (Ba(NO₃)₂) are important laboratory or industrial salts, but soluble barium salts are toxic. Mixed oxides such as barium titanate (BaTiO₃) are important functional ceramics.
See more information at the Barium compound page.
Metallic barium reacts with moisture and can ignite or release hydrogen, so it is handled as an air-sensitive reactive metal. Soluble barium compounds, including barium chloride (BaCl₂) and barium nitrate (Ba(NO₃)₂), are poisonous because Ba²⁺ interferes with potassium ion transport and muscle function. Barium sulfate (BaSO₄) is far less hazardous by ingestion because of its very low solubility, provided it is free of soluble barium impurities.
Barium occurs naturally in crustal rocks, especially as barite, barium sulfate (BaSO₄), and witherite, barium carbonate (BaCO₃). Its mobility depends strongly on sulfate, carbonate, and pH conditions; insoluble sulfate tends to immobilize it, while soluble salts can enter groundwater locally. Barium is not an essential nutrient for most organisms, and elevated soluble barium can be harmful to aquatic and terrestrial life.
Barium is supplied mainly through mining and processing of barite, barium sulfate (BaSO₄), with smaller contributions from other barium minerals where available. Much barite is consumed directly after grinding, especially where high density and chemical inertness are useful, rather than being converted to metal. Barium metal is made by reducing barium compounds under controlled conditions and is a small specialty product. Demand is driven by drilling fluids, fillers, ceramics, glass, pyrotechnics, and chemical manufacture; substitution is possible in some uses but difficult where density, insolubility, or specific electronic properties are required.
It is found only in combination with other elements, chiefly with sulfate and carbonate and is prepared by electrolysis of the chloride.
Barium is heavier than iron and is formed mainly by neutron-capture processes in stars, especially the slow s-process in evolved stars and the rapid r-process in explosive or merger environments. Its spectral lines are important in stellar abundance studies, and barium enrichment in some stars records past nucleosynthesis and mass transfer. In planetary materials it is a trace lithophile element concentrated in minerals and melts rather than metallic cores.
- Barium sulfate is so insoluble that it can be swallowed for X-ray imaging despite barium ion toxicity.
- The name comes from Greek barys, meaning heavy, reflecting the high density of barite.
- Barium flame tests give an apple-green color, though impurities can mask it.
- Natural barium is a mixture of several stable isotopes, with ¹³⁸Ba the most abundant.
- Barium titanate was one of the first widely important ferroelectric ceramics.
