Application

Barium perchlorate, trihydrate, reagent is an extremely powerful oxidizing agent, and therefore commonly used in industry and pyrotechnics. It is also used in RPE-For analysis. It is used as an oxidizing agent, for gas drying, for ribonuclease determination and in the water analysis for sulfate titration with Thorin as indicator.
