Barium hydroxide is widely used and my country is the world’s largest producer.

Barium hydroxide, also known as barium hydroxide octahydrate, has a chemical formula of Ba(OH)2 and is an inorganic compound. Barium hydroxide appears as a white crystalline powder with no special odor and is easily soluble in dilute acid, ethanol and water. Barium hydroxide is highly alkaline and corrosive, and is widely used in medicine, chemical industry and other fields.

The barium hydroxide production process includes three methods: calcination method, barium sulfide method and barium chloride method. The calcination method refers to calcining barium carbonate into barium oxide, and then through processes such as leaching, filtration, dehydration, and drying to obtain barium hydroxide. The production process of this method is relatively cumbersome and can easily cause environmental pollution. The barium chloride method first reacts salt with barium carbonate to make barium chloride, and then mixes it with sodium hydroxide. After cooling, filtration and other processes, barium hydroxide is finally obtained. The products produced using this method are of higher quality. High, it is the mainstream preparation technology of barium hydroxide enterprises in my country.

The main raw material of barium hydroxide is barium carbonate, and my country is one of the main producing countries of barium carbonate in the world. Benefiting from sufficient supply of raw materials and strong downstream demand, my country’s barium hydroxide market continues to expand. According to the “In-Depth Market Research Report on Barium Hydroxide Industry Segments in 2022” released by the Industrial Research Center, my country’s hydrogen industry in 2021 The market size of barium oxide reached 510 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. In recent years, due to factors such as the shortage of raw materials, global barium hydroxide production capacity has gradually transferred to my country, and my country has become the world’s largest producer of barium hydroxide. As overseas market demand becomes increasingly strong, my country’s barium hydroxide export scale will expand accordingly.

Barium hydroxide has a wide range of uses and can be used to produce synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, medicine, cleaning agents, pesticides, glass and other products. In the field of synthetic rubber, barium hydroxide is mainly used as a preservative, hard water softener, and hardener. As the demand for automobile tires continues to grow, natural rubber production can no longer meet its production needs. As a substitute for natural rubber, synthetic rubber industry has developed rapidly. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s synthetic rubber output reached 8.117 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%. Driven by downstream demand, my country’s barium hydroxide market space continues to expand.

Barium hydroxide production companies are mainly concentrated in my country, Japan, Italy, Germany and Russia. Hubei Jusheng Technology Co., Ltd. and Yichang Huahao New Material Technology Co., Ltd. are the leading barium hydroxide companies in my country. With continuous innovation in production technology, my country’s leading barium hydroxide companies have occupied a dominant position in the global market.

Industry analysts said that barium hydroxide has excellent performance and is widely used in many fields. With the rapid development of downstream industries, the scale of my country’s barium hydroxide market continues to expand. Driven by sufficient supply of raw materials and technological innovation by leading companies, my country has become the world’s largest producer of barium hydroxide. It is expected that my country’s barium hydroxide industry will develop towards a high-end trend in the future.
