Synthesis and properties
editBarium tungstate can be obtained from the precipitation reaction between barium nitrate and ammonium paratungstate or sodium tungstate.[5][6]
- Ba(NO3)2 + Na2WO4 → BaWO4↓ + 2 NaNO3
It is a white solid,[3] which at normal conditions forms tetragonal crystals similar to scheelite, CaWO4. Under pressures above 7 GPa, the compound undergoes transformation to a monoclinic structure similar to fergusonite, YNbO4.[7]
Uses
editBarium tungstate can be used as a frequency shifter in laser technology.[8] It has uses in X-ray photography and as a pigment.[4]
