Barium Carbonate 1 LB Bag Capital Ceramics
In art ceramics barium carbonate is popular for the production of classic barium crystal matte glazes. Barium carbonate is very stable thermally and does not readily disassociate unless at least some CO is available in the kiln atmosphere (i.e. reduction). BaCO3 is reduced to the unstable BaCO2 in the reaction: BaCO3 + CO -> BaCO2 + CO2
