Barium fluoride generally has two forms, one is colorless and transparent cubic crystal, the other is white powder. It is soluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, ethanol and other organic solvents, slightly soluble in water. The melting point is 1368 ℃ and the boiling point is 2260 ℃. Today, let's talk about the storage methods of barium fluoride.
Barium fluoride is a kind of alkaline earth fluoride crystal, which is colorless and transparent and belongs to cubic crystal system. It is generally used in the manufacture of motor brush, optical glass, optical fiber, cosolvent and so on. It can also be used as wood preservative and insecticide. It is a good buffer layer with excellent properties and can connect semiconductors with different lattice constants. Because of its good performance, barium fluoride has been gradually applied to nuclear medicine, nuclear physics, remote sensing technology and particle physics, and the scope of application is more and more extensive. Barium fluoride has good moisture resistance and high temperature. It can also be used as window material or other optical elements of laser and other machine equipment and whole machine.
How should we store barium fluoride?
Keep barium fluoride in a clean and dry environment. 1. Never store with acids and food.
2. Pay attention not to get caught in the rain or exposed to the sun during transportation, which will affect the effect of barium fluoride.
Barium fluoride is a toxic substance, which has a strong irritant effect on our eyes, skin, mucous membrane and other places. So when we use it, we must be careful and protect ourselves.
In addition, barium fluoride is harmful to the environment, especially to the water pollution.
