抗战时期黄海化学工业研究社对川盐提钡的研究与实践

Research and Practice of Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute on Extracting Barium from Sichuan Salt During the War of Resisting Japanese Agression

四川井盐部分含钡,钡盐有毒,食之超标,引发痹病。这一自然事实与疾病真相被揭示并得以解决,应始于1938年黄海化学工业研究社迁入四川之时。黄海化学工业研究社通过调查四川盐卤分布与成分,发现部分黄卤中含有钡质,并对盐卤中钡质的危害与工业用途给出客观评价,研究出了检测盐中钡量与提取盐中钡质的方法,积极配合政府实施提钡工作。这一进程彰显了黄海化学工业研究社“在原则上绝对相信科学,在精神上以能服务社会为最大光荣”的风范,更为重要的是,该社对钡盐问题的解决起到了有力的推动作用。

Part of well salt in Sichuan contains barium which is poisonous and excessive intake can cause arthralgia.This natural fact and the related disease were revealed and then solved when the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute moved to Sichuan in 1938.The Institute investigated the distribution and composition of brine in Sichuan,found that some yellow brine contained barium,and gave an objective evaluation of the harm and industrial use of barium in brine.It also studied the method of detecting the amount of barium and extracting barium from salt,and actively cooperated with the government to implement barium extraction.This process demonstrates the ethos of"absolutely believing in science in principle,and serving the society as the greatest honor in spirit"of the Institute.More importantly,the Institute has played a powerful role in promoting the solution of the barium salt problem.
