Barium Periodate can be prepared by the reaction of periodic acid on barium hydroxide:
Ba(OH)2＋ 2HIO4→Ba(IO4)2
Barium Periodate is relatively insoluble and can be removed from solution by filtration. It is a white powder and is a strong oxidizing agent that will explode if mixed with organics or other oxidizable compounds.
