Barium sulfite

Barium sulfite is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula BaSO3. It is a white powder that finds few applications.

It is an intermediate in the carbothermal reduction of barium sulfate to barium sulfide:

It also occurs as an intermediate phase in the aqueous oxidation of BaS to BaSO4 by weathering in slag.

Barium sulfite is used in the hydrolysis of dialdehyde starch by sulfurous acid yielding glyoxal and erythrose. The barium sulfite complexes with the glyoxal, allowing for higher reagent concentrations without loss of yield.
