Barite

Barite is a sulfate mineral with the main chemical formula BaSO4. Its crystals are often in the form of thick plates, and aggregates are often in the form of grains or crystal groups. A few are in the form of dense, bell like, and nodular shapes. According to the reasons of the deposit, barite ore can be divided into three types, namely sedimentary type, hydrothermal type, and residual type. Barite can be divided into six types according to its mineral composition. ①Monomineral barite ② Quartz barite ③ Fluorite barite ④ Sulfide barite ⑤ Iron barite ⑥ Clay barite
Barite is mainly used in industrial sectors such as petroleum, chemical, coatings, fillers, and construction, among which petroleum drilling mud weighting agent is its main use. The ultrafine grinding of barite mostly adopts dry process technology, and commonly used equipment includes air flow mill, mechanical impact mill, vibration mill, etc.
Our factory's requirements for the quality of barite PRODUCTS are generally that the BaSO4 content is ≥ 90%, the lower the SiO2 content, the better, generally controlled below 5%, and the iron impurity (Fe2O3) content should be as low as possible<1; The specifications and quality requirements for barite vary for different purposes, and the specifications and quality of barite suitable for industries such as drilling mud, building radiation protection, and coatings often differ greatly.
