Barium is mainly used for the production of evaporation getters (gas absorbers) in CRTs (cathode ray tubes) for television to generate and to maintain the high vacuum by reaction with detrimental gases. Furthermore it is used as getter material in thermionic and emitter tubes and in sodium vapor lamps. The deoxidizing and reducing properties of this metal find numerous minor applications in the metal refining and alloying industry.
