The global industrial production of ammonia for 2012 was anticipated to be 198,000,000 tonnes (195,000,000 long tons; 218,000,000 short tons), a 35% increase over the estimated 2006 global output of 146,500,000 tonnes (144,200,000 long tons; 161,500,000 short tons).H 3 boils at â33.34 Â°C (â28.012 Â°F) at a pressure of one atmosphere, so the liquid must be stored under pressure or at low temperature. Household ammonia or ammonium hydroxide is a solution of NH 3 in water.
While barium fluoride windows are less resistant to water than calcium fluoride, BaF 2 windows are the most resistant optical fluoride to high-energy radiation, but feature lower UV transmittance. BaF 2 has a Knoop hardness of 82. Note: These optical windows are very sensitive to thermal shock. Barium fluoride is a fast scintillator and can be used to detect X-rays, gamma rays, or other high energy particles such as 511 keV gamma photons in Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Barium bromide is the chemical compound with the formula BaBr2. Like barium chloride, it dissolves well in water and is toxic in aqueous solution.
