Barium carbonate is used both in white and fair green color
compositions. When chlorine donors are present in a composition a green color
will result from the formation of BaCl+ in the flame. When used with Potassium
perchlorate it produces a green color of better quality than Barium Nitrate.
Without chlorine donors BaO will be formed which emits white light. Barium
carbonate is convenient to use in chlorate based color compositions since it
will reduce acidity by neutralize residual acid which reduces the risk of
spontaneous ignition. Barium carbonate insoluble in water soluble in acid
