Barite does not contain silicon. The price of barite and the price of quartz need to be discussed according to the quality of the ingredients.
Barite values and prices are generally higher than quartz stone, but if you can do optical glass of quartz, its price is higher than barite
The main component of barite barium sulfate is the molecular formula BaSO4, BaSO4 content in the ore is generally 80-90%, which contains a small amount of silica, the beneficiation process selection of barite concentrate powder, the grade can reach 98%, which also contains a small amount of silicon, calcium, iron, aluminum and other impurities.
