The exchange loss of radioactivity from solid samplos of barium carbonate through the agency of carbonic acid and its ions has beon investigated under a variety of conditions. It is concluded that tho losses observed are greatly dependent upon the method of sample proparation, in particular the nature or any heat troatment which the sample materials undergo. This paper is based upon work porfor...

In recent times sedimentation data have become increasingly relevant in modeling sedimentation operations such as filtration, fluidization, two-phase flow operations and in environmental engineering. In this study, the effects of reactants concentrations and size of settling vesselson the sedimentation rates of strontium and barium carbonates, in aqueous medium, were studied by a modified appro...

A novel sol–gel process suitable for depositing thin-film lead barium titanate has been developed. X-ray diffraction analysis showed perovskite phase crystallization to occur at a temperature as low as 400°C with single-phase Pb0.5Ba0.5TiO3 (PBT) resulting at a temperature as low as 500°C. Small concentrations of barium carbonate were evident by X-ray diffraction at 400°C, and indications of mi...

UNLABELLED Pure zinc oxide and zinc oxide/barium carbonate nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs and ZB-NPs) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Auger spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD result showed that the ZnO and BaCO3 nanocrystals grow independently. The Auger spectroscopy ...

Most commercial water contains alkaline earth metal cations such as magnesium, calcium and barium, and anions such as carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, silicate, oxalate, phosphate, etc. Different combinations of these anions and cations will give rise to potentially scalant systems, such as calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, calcium sulfate, calcium oxalate, barium sulfate, magnesium sulfate,...
