Barium carbonate has broad market prospects and growing demand in the electronics field

Barium carbonate, chemical formula BaCO3, appears as white powder, is toxic, and is a hazardous chemical. It can decompose at high temperatures of 1450°C. The decomposition products are barium oxide and carbon dioxide. It is almost insoluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, and soluble in Strong acids such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid decompose and emit carbon dioxide, which is soluble in ammonium chloride solution. Barium carbonate is an important inorganic compound with a wide range of downstream uses.

Barium carbonate can be widely used in electronics, instrumentation, metallurgy, chemical industry, environmental protection and other fields. Barium carbonate can be used as an auxiliary material for the production of optical glass, magnetic materials, and ceramic coatings. It can be used in the manufacturing of electronic ceramics, capacitors, PTC thermistors, picture tube glass shells and other electronic components; it can be used as analytical reagents, catalysts, fillers, Water clarifier, etc.; can produce barium salts, pigments, fireworks, signal bombs, rodenticides and other products; can be used in metallurgy, metal surface treatment, etc. Among them, the electronic component manufacturing field is an important downstream market for barium carbonate.

The main methods for preparing barium carbonate are: carbonization method using barium sulfide and carbon dioxide as raw materials, metathesis method using barium sulfide and ammonium carbonate as raw materials, chemical purification method of toxinite and ammonium carbonate as raw materials, etc. Toxite is an important barium-containing mineral that can be used to make high-quality barium salts. my country’s barium mineral resources are mainly distributed in the Daba Mountains across Sichuan, Chongqing and Shaanxi. They are rich in reserves and of high taste, which is conducive to the development of my country’s barium carbonate industry.

According to the “Barium Carbonate Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2021-2025” released by the Industrial Research Center, globally Within the scope, the main barium carbonate manufacturers include Belgium’s Solvay and American Elements. Benefiting from the rapid development of my country’s electronic ceramics, capacitors, resistors and other industries, the market demand for barium carbonate continues to rise. my country has become the world’s largest producer of barium carbonate. The main domestic production companies include Guizhou Hongxing Development Co., Ltd. and Hebei Xinji Chemical Group Co., Ltd. Company, Hubei Beijing Shanchutian Barium Salt Co., Ltd., Zaozhuang Yongli Chemical Co., Ltd., etc.

With the technological upgrading of downstream industries, the market’s quality requirements for barium carbonate continue to increase. For example, the electronics industry’s demand for nano-level high-purity barium carbonate continues to grow. In the early days, in my country’s barium carbonate industry, the production capacity was mainly ordinary industrial barium carbonate, and the product quality was low and unable to meet the needs of the electronics industry. Ordinary barium carbonate has low added value. Driven by the combination of enterprise transformation and upgrading needs and market demand, my country’s barium carbonate industry has gradually developed in a high-end direction, and the production capacity of high-quality, high value-added products has gradually increased.

Industry analysts said that barium carbonate is an important inorganic compound with a wide range of downstream applications, especially with the continuous advancement of technology in the electronics industry. , the market demand for high-quality barium carbonate continues to grow. As a major producer of electronic products in the world, my country’s barium carbonate industry has broad development prospects. Our country is rich in toxinite resources and their distribution is concentrated. Enterprises with the right to exploit high-quality toxinite resources have raw material advantages and will be more competitive in the barium carbonate industry in the future.
