There are many applications of different tartrate compounds. Antimony barium tartrate is used for veterinary drugs. Barium tartrate crystals were grown by single diffusion gel growth technique in silica hydro-gel medium. White colour crystals of dendritic type were grown. Powdered XRD, FT-IR spectroscopic and thermal studies were carried out. By employing Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the thermal stability of crystals and the dehydration and decomposition nature was found. The Coats and Redfern relation was applied to evaluate the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of dehydration. The powdered XRD and FT-IR spectroscopic study confirmed the formation of barium tartrate crystals
