Historie
Barium was identified as a new element in 1774 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele.

Barium was first isolated by electrolysis of molten barium salts in 1808, by Sir Humphry Davy in England.

Robert Bunsen and Augustus Matthiessen obtained pure barium by electrolysis of a molten mixture of barium chloride and ammonium chloride.

Bruksområder
Barium is used as a flashed getter in vacuum tubes to remove the last traces of gases.

It is often used in barium-nickel alloys for spark plug wire.

Barium sulfate is important to the petroleum industry as a drilling fluid in oil and gas wells.

Barium is also used in medicine to detect abnormalities in the digestive system.
Water-soluble barium compounds are poisonous
