Review dehydrate barium hydroxide hydrate octahydrate monohydrate anhydrous water of crystallisation reduced pressure congruent melting point digestion elevated temperature azeotropic distillation overflow receiver chemically inert miscible azeotropic boiling point New words and expressions hydrophobic adhesive affinity toluene chloro-hydrocarbon flowability wetting strength covalent bond reflux evacuation filtration New words and expressions The major proportion of the adhesively bound water is removed from the aqueous pastes after their flowability has possibly first been improved by the addition of further water, the water being displaced by the second liquid and separated without the application of heat, for instance by filtration. EXAMPLE 1. 150g Ba(OH)2·8H2O were slowly heated, whilst being stirred, with 500 cc. benzene under reflux with a receiver fitted with an overflow. WHAT WE CLAIM IS: － 1. A method of dehydrating barium hydrates, where the water of crystallisation is extracted by heating in an organic solvent or solvent mixture which is chemically inert to barium hydroxide. 2. A method as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the water of crystallisation is removed by azotropic distillation with an organic solvent or solvent mixture that is chemically inert to barium hydroxide. 3. A method as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the water of crystallisation is removed by digestion in an organic solvent or solvent mixture which is chemically inert to barium hydroxide but is miscible with water on any proportions, the process being performed at a temperature above the congruent melting point of barium hydroxide octahydrate and below the boiling point of solvent or solvent mixture. 4. A method of dehydrating barium hydrates substantially as hereinbefore described in any one of the foregoing examples. In contradistinction thereto, the present method relates to dehydration, that is
