Barium aluminate?[edit]

I see a lot of references in the literature to a "Barium Aluminate" that's used as a gas absorber in vacuum tubes. Apparently the barium on the surface binds with stray oxygen atoms, then the aluminum steals them, refreshing the surface for more absorption. There is no page for "barium aluminate", and I can't find a reference to the chemical formula for it. Anyone got a good reference?

Mis-balanced reaction[edit]

In the article, there is the reaction:

8 BaO + BaAl₄ → Ba↓ + 7 BaAl₂O₄

The correctly balanced version (assuming the chemical formulas are correct) is:

8 BaO + BaAl₄ → 7 Ba↓ + 2 BaAl₂O₄ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Programmerjake (talk • contribs) 05:52, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
