Barium chlorate hazardous waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists barium chlorate as hazardous. Barium chlorate Barium chlorate, Ba(ClO), is a white crystalline solid, the barium salt of chloric acid. It is an irritant and toxic, as are all soluble barium compounds. It is sometimes used in pyrotechnics to produce a green color. It also finds use in the production of chloric acid. Barium chlorate can be produced through a double replacement reaction between solutions of barium chloride and sodium chlorate: On concentrating and chilling the resulting mixture, barium chlorate precipitates. This is perhaps the most common preparation, exploiting the lower solubility
Barium peroxide and oxygen is released above 820 °C. This reaction is the basis for the now-obsolete Brin process for separating oxygen from the atmosphere. Other oxides, e.g. NaO and SrO, behave similarly. In another obsolete application, barium peroxide was once used to produce hydrogen peroxide via its reaction with sulfuric acid: The insoluble barium sulfate is filtered from the mixture. Barium peroxide Barium peroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula BaO. This white solid (gray when impure) is one of the most common inorganic peroxides, and it was the first peroxide compound discovered. Being an oxidizer and giving a vivid
