Barberry

thumb|Tibetan AltarPMA 2004-7-1a1-1e1
== Description ==
Any of various shrubs of the genus Berberis, such as Berberis vulgaris, which grows wild in many parts of the world. Barberry bushes have yellow flowers and red berries. The wood from the barberry stems and roots can be cooked in water to extract a strong yellow dye. The extract, called berberis, contains alkaloids (berberine, berbamine, and oxyacanthine) along with some soluble tannins. The yellow color is substantive on wool, leather, and silk. The berries can also be used to make a coral color dye using an aluminum mordant. Barberry colors have poor lightfastness.

It was produced by burning saltwort plants (Salsola kali or Salsola soda). 2) A common name for saltwort plants (Salsola kali or Salsola soda) native to the Mediterranean region. The ashes from the burnt barilla plant contained an impure form of sodium carbonate that was used in glass making.

Barium

== Description ==
A whitish, malleable, metallic element from the alkaline earth group. Barium occurs primarily as a sulfate (barite) and less often as a carbonate (witherite). Its abundance in the earth's crust is 0.05%. Barium was first isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy (1808) in England. Salts of barium are used as pigments, fillers, pesticides, and to produce the green color in fireworks. Barium pigments are used in paints, ceramics, glass, plastics, and rubber.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
Ba; baryum (Fr.); bario (It., Esp.); Bário (Port.)

Barium carbonate

== Description ==
A heavy white powder that occurs in nature as the mineral witherite. Barium carbonate is used as a pigment in the manufacture of paints, glazes and synthetic marble. When barium hydroxide is used as an alkalizing agent for paper, it can react with carbon dioxide and precipitate as barium carbonate to provide an alkaline reserve. Both barium hydroxide and barium carbonate are highly toxic. Barium carbonate is used commercially in rat poison, bricks, cement, and mortar.

Barium chromate

== Description ==
A banana-color yellow pigment that is also called barium yellow. Barium chromate is precipitated from a barium chloride solution by the addition of potassium dichromate. Barium yellow is a fairly permanent pigment but it may turn green slowly in light. It has low tinting strength and opacity. It was not widely used as an artists pigment by itself but was sometimes mixed with strontium yellow and zinc yellow then sold under the name lemon yellow or citron yellow. It was also used for coloring glass and ceramic glazes. Currently barium chromate is used in anticorrosion pastes and in metal primers.
