BARIUM PEROXIDE
Barium Peroxide is an od textile dyeing. Barium Peroxide is on the Hazardous
Substance List because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH, DEP and EPA.

Industrial applications for barium include acting as a "getter," or unwanted gas remover. In its elemental form, barium is a soft, silvery-gray metal.
Barium peroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula BaO2. This white solid (gray when impure) is one of the most common inorganic peroxides.
We have to remember that the barium peroxide is mainly used to produce hydrogen peroxide by reaction of barium peroxide with sulphuric acid. We can write the chemical equation for this hydrogen peroxide preparation as, BaO2+H2SO4→H2O2+BaSO4.
In this above reaction, barium sulphate is recovered as precipitate.We have to remember that the barium peroxide is mainly used to produce hydrogen peroxide by reaction of barium peroxide with sulphuric acid. We can write the chemical equation for this hydrogen peroxide preparation as,
