Barium carbonate (BaCO3) is an important alkaline-earth metal material in the production of barium salts, barium ferrite, pigments, ceramics, optical glass, and electric condensers. Additionally, it serves as a precursor to produce superconductors and ceramic materials.
Application
Barium carbonate is used:
In the preparation of barium titanate using a mixture of BaCO3 and titania (TiO2) by solid-state reaction.
As an additive in the preparation of NBC (neodymium – barium –copper) ceramics.

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

Areflexic quadriplegia due to barium carbonate (rat poison) poisoning is described in two young patients. These cases very closely resembled Guillain-Barre syndrome. The various effects of barium carbonate along with the pathogenesis of hypokalaemic paralysis are highlighted.

Acute flaccid paralysis with its wide repertoire of causes presents a challenge to the clinician. We present a case of barium carbonate poisoning, a rare yet easily treatable cause of acute quadriparesis. Barium acts by redistribution of potassium from the
