Applications & Uses

Glass, Ceramics and Clay

Specialty Glasses
GLASS, CERAMICS AND CLAY
Barium carbonate and strontium carbonate significantly enhance the quality and properties of glass.
Clay Ceramics
GLASS, CERAMICS AND CLAY

• Clay roof tiles, facing bricks and other heavy clay ceramics use barium carbonate to prevent the formation of dry efflorescence.
• Barium carbonate converts soluble sulfates into insoluble barium sulfate.

Surface Protection through Glazes and Enamels
GLASS, CERAMICS AND CLAY

• With the development of new technologies in the glaze and frits industry, strontium carbonate has achieved a very important role as a raw material.
• It can lend frits and glazes used in multiple ceramic applications a number of special properties.

Magnets and Electrical Components
Ferrite Magnets
MAGNETS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Permanent magnets using strontium ferrite – which is manufactured with strontium carbonate – are widely used in many industries. Strontium ferrite offers a high degree of chemical stability, and is completely non-toxic.
Displays
MAGNETS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Strontium compounds are an essential raw material for the production of glass substrates used in all types of displays.
Electro-Ceramic Components
MAGNETS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

• Barium titanate, which is derived from barium carbonate, is used for the production of ceramic capacitors and PTC thermistors.
• Ceramic plate and multi-layer capacitors are found in circuits.

Removing Sulfates and Lead

Removing Sulfates in Chemical Production and Water Treatment
REMOVING SULFATES AND LEAD
In many chemical production processes, barium carbonate is used to remove sulfates. For example, it plays an important role in both chlorine-alkali electrolysis and the production of phosphoric acid.
Removing Lead in Zinc Production
REMOVING SULFATES AND LEAD
In the production of high-purity zinc through electrolysis, strontium carbonate is used to remove lead impurities.
