Barium is used during a swallowing test to make certain areas of the body show up more clearly on an X-ray. The radiologist will be able to see size and shape of the pharynx and esophagus. He or she will also be able see how you swallow. These details might not be seen on a standard X-ray. Barium is used only for imaging tests for the GI tract.

Barite occurs in many depositional environments and is deposited through many processes including biogenic, hydrothermal, and evaporation, among others. Barite commonly occurs in lead-zinc veins in limestones, in hot spring deposits, and with hematite ore, as is the case with our Red Barite.

It receives its name from the Greek ord "barys" which means "heavy." This name is in response to barite's high specific gravity of 4.5, which is exceptional for a nonmetallic mineral. The high specific gravity of barite makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial, medical, and manufacturing uses.

In its elemental form, barium is a relatively soft, silvery-white metal . As a highly reactive member of the alkaline-earth family, metallic barium will oxidize readily in water to form barium hydroxide, evolving hydrogen gas. It will also react readily and vigorously with oxygen in air to form BaO. As with other alkaline-earth elements, barium ...

1. When a solution of Barium bromide reacts with sulphate salts, a solid white precipitate of barium sulphate is formed. For example, Barium bromide gives a double displacement reaction when mixing a solution of barium bromide with sodium sulphate; a white precipitate of barium sulphate is immediately formed at the bottom of the test tube.

Barium is found in ores, mostly in the form of barite (BaSO 4) as it does not occur naturally as a free element. Barium makes up 0.05% of the earth's crust. It is a member of the alkaline earth metals and it has a pale yellow and shiny appearance. Barium was discovered in 1772 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele when he showed that barium oxide was ...

Barium is a silvery-white to yellowish odorless metal that is found in nature primarily as barium sulfate or barium carbonate (ATSDR 2005; HSDB 2007a). Barium is non-combustible, but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive or toxic fumes (HSDB 2007a). Elemental barium and barium sulfide may be flammable in moist air (ATSDR 2005)..
Get priceWhen barium is combined with other elements to form barium compounds, it has many applications. Barium carbonate is used as a rat poison, low amounts of barium sulfate may be ingested prior to receiving an x-ray to provide better imaging, and industries such as mining, refining, glass, and coal also utilize barium.
Get priceMost barium compounds are produced from the sulfate via reduction to the sulfide, which is then used to prepare other barium derivatives. About 75 percent of all barium carbonate (BaCO 3) goes into the manufacture of specialty glass, either to increase its refractive index or to provide radiation shielding in cathode-ray and television tubes.
