Barium oxide is a hygroscopic compound majorly used for ceramic
coating, glass, optical applications. It is a non flammable compound
prepared by heating barium carbonate with coke, carbon black or tar.
Other method by which barium oxide can be produced is by thermal
decomposition of barium nitrate. It is cubical in structure.
Barium
oxide is majorly used for coating applications. It is used to coat
hot cathodes such as cathode ray tubes. It is used as a substitute to
lead oxide for the production of certain types of glasses such as
optical crown glass. Barium oxide is used as an ethoxylation catalyst
in the reaction of ethylene oxide and alcohols. This reaction takes
place between 150o and 200o. In addition, it is also a source of pure
oxygen though heat fluctuation. Barium Oxide powder is typically
insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and is extremely stable making
them useful in ceramic structures such as producing clay bowls,
advanced electronics and in light weight structural components in
aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells in
which they exhibit ionic conductivity. Furthermore, barium oxide is
available in pellets, powder, tablets and nano – powder. Thus, they
can be used in an array of applications.

The
growing demand for coating applications in various industries in
order to make the products and equipment corrosion and heat resistant
is expected to augment the growth of the barium oxide market. In
addition, barium oxide is extensively used in nanotechnology. Thus,
the increasing demand for nanotechnology coupled with its wide
applications in other industries such as glass and ceramics is
anticipated to propel the demand for barium oxide. However, barium
oxide is harmful to human skin and if swallowed in large quantity
causes irritation. Excessive quantities of barium oxide may lead to
death. If it contacts the skin or the eyes or is inhaled it causes
pain and redness. However, it is more dangerous when ingested. It can
cause nausea and diarrhea, muscle paralysis, cardiac arrhythmia, and
can cause death. If ingested, medical attention should be sought
immediately. Moreover, it is harmful to aquatic organisms. Thus,
there are stringent regulations on the use of barium oxide which may
restrain the growth of barium oxide in the near future.

Asia
Pacific was the leading regional market for barium oxide. China had
the largest demand for barium oxide owing to huge demand from the
automobile and other industries. However, other countries such as
India, Japan and South Korea are likely to exhibit more demand for
barium oxide in upcoming years. Asia Pacific has experienced dynamic
economic growth in the past decade. This trend is expected to
continue in the next few years. Asia Pacific was followed by North
America. U.S. had the largest demand for barium oxide. The demand was
huge owing to increasing demand from various applications and for
research and development purposes in chemical industry. Europe had
the third largest market share in barium oxide market. Growing demand
from automobile industry is driving the barium oxide market in
Europe. European countries such as Germany and the UK were the major
consumers of barium oxide in this region. Rest of the World market is
anticipated to have stable demand for barium oxide market in near
future. Latin America is one of the largest markets for barium
hydroxide in the Rest of the World.
