Barium
钡
Barium is a metal, but has no significant uses as such.
钡是一种金属，但作为金属几乎没有显著用途
A significant medical use of barium is to enhance x-ray images of the intestinal tract. Barium has a high atomic number and absorbs x-rays strongly. A thin paste of barium sulfate, BaSO4, and water is is swallowed to coat the alimentary canal. This gives greater definition and contrast to the x-ray images of the tract. The low solubility of barium sulfate minimizes the toxic effects which might occur with other barium compounds. The mineral form of barium sulfate is called barite.
钡在医学上的重要用途是增强X射线对肠道的成像。钡具有较高的原子序数，能强烈吸收X射线。将钡硫酸盐（BaSO₄）与水混合制成的薄糊状物被吞下，以覆盖消化道。这有助于提高肠道X射线影像的清晰度和对比度。由于硫酸钡的溶解度低，因此与其他钡化合物相比，其毒性影响更小。钡硫酸盐的矿物形式称为重晶石。
Barium nitrate Ba(NO3)2 and barium chlorate Ba(ClO3)2 are used for producing green fire from fireworks. Barium is used in the manufacture of paint pigments.
硝酸钡Ba(NO₃)₂和氯酸钡Ba(ClO₃)₂用于制作烟花中的绿色火焰。钡用于制造颜料。
Barium appears in the carbonate mineral Benstonite. Barium carbonate, BaCO3, in mineral form is called Witherite.
Along with calcium, barium forms the carbonate mineral alstonite.
Barium appears in the phosphate mineral kulanite along with manganese.
钡出现在磷酸盐矿物库拉尼特中，与锰一起出现
巴利乌姆出现在碳酸盐矿物苯斯顿石中。巴利乌姆碳酸盐（BaCO₃）以矿物形式称为威瑟石。与钙一样，巴利乌姆形成碳酸盐矿物阿斯顿石。 An oxide formed along with manganese is called romanechite. Barium appears in an oxide of manganese with potassium called Hollandite. Barium appears with vanadium and lead in an oxide mineral of uranium, Francevillite
Barium is sometimes found in silicate minerals, for example hyalophane, (K,Ba)Al(Si,Al)3O8. The silicate Joaquinite contains barium along with iron, titanium and cerium. The silicates Brewsterite and heulandite contain barium along with strontium. Edingtonite is barium aluminum silicate of the zeolite group with the composition Ba[Al2Si3O10].4H2O.
钡有时出现在硅酸盐矿物中，例如隐晶质矿物hyalophane，其化学式为(K,Ba)Al(Si,Al)3O8。含钡的硅酸盐矿物Joaquinite还含有铁、钛和铈。硅酸盐矿物Brewsterite和heulandite中也含有钡和锶。Edingtonite是一种属于沸石类的钡铝硅酸盐，其化学式为Ba[Al2Si3O10].4H2O。
与锰共存的氧化物称为罗曼尼特。钡出现在称为霍兰石的锰的氧化物中，与钾一起存在。钡与钒和铅共存于铀的氧化物矿物中，称为法恩维利特。 |
