Bariumsulfid

OccurrenceBarium sulfide occurs in the form of black ash, which is a gray to black impure product obtained from high temperature carbonaceous reduction of barite. It is the starting material in the manufacture of most barium compounds including barium chloride and barium carbonate. It is used in luminous paints; for dehairing hides; as a flame retardant; and for generating H2S.

VerwendenBarium sulfide has different characters, so it is used in a variety of ways, such as in electronics, paint pigments, dehairing hides, flame retardant, luminous paints, and generating pure hydrogen sulfide. Barium sulfide can deviate X-rays and helps to give clearly image of the soft tissue. Barium sulfide is a precursor to other barium compounds and also used as a short wavelength emitters for electronic displays.

synthetischeBarium sulfide can be prepared by the direct reaction of the elements, calcined in an inert atmosphere, at a 1:1.05 molecular ratio: Ba＋S＋heat→BaS Barium sulfide is prepared commercially by heating barite (BaO) with coal or petroleum coke in a rotary kiln at 1000°C to 1250°C in an oxygen-free atmosphere. The product, black ash, is a gray or black powder containing carbonaceous impurities and unreacted barite. Barium sulfide is separated from impurities by extraction with hot water and filtration. Barium sulfide may also be made by high temperature reduction of barium sulfate with methane.
