How to store barium fluoride

Barium fluoride generally has two forms, one is colorless and transparent cubic crystal, and the other is white powder. It is soluble in organic solvents such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and ethanol, and slightly soluble in water. The melting point is 1368°C and the boiling point is 2260°C. Today we will talk about the storage methods of barium fluoride.

Barium fluoride is an alkaline earth fluoride crystal, which is colorless and transparent and belongs to the cubic crystal system. It is generally used in the manufacture of motor brushes, optical glass, optical fibers, cosolvents, etc., and can also be used as wood preservatives and insecticides. It is a good buffer layer with excellent performance and can connect semiconductors with different lattice constants. Due to its good properties, barium fluoride has gradually been used in nuclear medicine, nuclear physics, remote sensing technology and particle physics, etc., and the scope of application is becoming more and more extensive. Barium fluoride has good moisture resistance and high operating temperature, and is also used in lasers and other machinery and equipment, window materials or other optical components of the whole machine.

So how should we store barium fluoride?

1. Place the barium fluoride in a ventilated, dry and clean environment, keep it sealed, and pay attention to moisture-proof. Do not store together with acid substances and food.

2. Be careful not to be exposed to rain or insolation during transportation, which will affect the effect of barium fluoride.

Barium fluoride is a toxic substance, which has a strong irritating effect on our eyes, skin, mucous membranes and other places. So when we use it, we must be careful and protect ourselves.

In addition, barium fluoride is also harmful to the environment, especially to pay attention to the pollution of water.
