Abstract
Abstract The thermal dehydration of crystalline barium hydroxide octahydrate has been studied. Gradual thermal treatment in air leads to the formation of a dihydrate, in addition to the monohydrate. Anhydrous barium hydroxide is formed at 375°C. Barium oxide is formed at about 410°C in an inert atmosphere. The hydroxide is converted directly to the peroxide in the temperature range 400–600°C.
