Barium carbonate (BaCO3), also known as viterite, is a chemical compound used in rat poison, brick, ceramic glaze and cement.
Barium barium carbonate reacts with acids such as hydrochloric acid to form soluble salts such as barium chloride:
BaCO3 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → BaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
Barium sulfate is highly insoluble, however, the reaction with sulfuric acid is poor.
Barium carbonate is widely used in the ceramics industry as an ingredient in glazes.
It combines with some dyeing oxides to produce unique colors that act as a flow, a matting and crystallizing agent and are not easily attainable by other means.
Its use is somewhat controversial since some claim it can leach secrets into food and drink.
To ensure safe use, BaO is often used in its fritted form.
Brick, tile, soil and ceramic industry barium carbonate is added to clay to precipitate soluble salts (calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate) that cause pollination.
