Barium Nitride Powder Properties

Barium Nitride (Ba3N2) Powder is an orange powder compound of alkaline earth metal barium and the non-metallic element nitrogen, which decomposes with water to produce ammonia and barium hydroxide. 

Barium Nitride Powder Production Process

The barium metal is placed in a nickel boat and nitrided for a long time at 560°C in a purged N2 gas stream. Or, when the absorption of nitrogen slows down, the temperature is increased to 700-750°C. After the distillation and purification of fine fibrous calcium metal in a nickel boat, in the purified N2 gas stream heated at 450 ℃ 3 ~ 4 h. Because, at this temperature calcium metal crystalline transformation (hexagonal crystal Ba → body-centered cubic Ba), the metal lattice structure becomes loose, so the nitriding reaction is fast, that is, the barium nitride.

Barium Nitride Powder Storage Conditions

Keep the receptacle sealed, and stored in a cool and dry place, and make sure the workroom is well-ventilated or exhausted.
