What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 ml / 100 L
Barium
+5.6213 ppb
To raise barium by 2 ppb in 100 L: 0.36 ml.
How it’s used
1 g/L x 0.5622 = 562 mg/L Ba; 1 ml in 100 L = 5.62 ug/L.
Cautions
• DO NOT recommend routine barium dosing. Soluble barium salts are acutely toxic to people (gram-level ingestion can be fatal); handle with gloves, label clearly, keep from children/pets.
• Natural seawater Ba is only ~5-20 ug/L; 1 g in 100 L would add ~5,600 ug/L. Barium precipitates with sulfate (BaSO4), so tank levels are self-limiting and ICP 'low Ba' often does not justify dosing.
• Only with ICP evidence of depletion, via a dilute stock, small increments, re-test.
