The main commercial source of barium sulfate is the mineral baryte, which is normally highly impure. In order to produce highly pure barium sulfate, barium sulfide or barium chloride is treated with sulfuric acid: Most of the synthetic barium sulfate is used as a white pigment (together with \(TiO_2\) or \(ZnS\)) for paints.

It outlines their uses, such as magnesium in fireworks, calcium in cement, and strontium in fireworks. Additionally, the page mentions radium as a radioactive and unstable alkaline earth metal that shares characteristics with barium.

It also explains predicting precipitate formation in chemistry using the ion product and solubility product constant (K_sp). By calculating ion concentrations, one can determine precipitate formation, illustrated with a practical example of barium sulfate precipitate formation based on the ion product calculation.
