Description of key information

Barium sulfate in nanoform is an inorganic sulfate which dissolves (to an extent and more so in the lower environmentally relevant pH range) in water to release barium cations that are of monoatomic nature. Hence, hydrolysis as defined by IUPAC (1994) is not possible. Furthermore, inorganic substances such as barium sulfate in nanoform cannot degrade or decompose but can be transformed e.g. by oxidation, reduction, speciation, precipitation. Thus, experimental data or other adequate and reliable information about the rate of hydrolysis, the extent of hydrolysis or the rate and extent of hydrolysis in different environments of barium sulfate in nanoform cannot be generated.
