The difference between quartz and barite
Barite is an important non-metallic mineral raw material, and has a wide range of industrial applications. Barite can be used as a white pigment (commonly known as lithopone) can also be used in chemical industry, papermaking, textile, packing, in the production of glass which can act as a fluxing agent and increase the brightness of the glass.
Barite is low temperature hydrothermal minerals in common, it is the composition of barium sulfate, is mainly a product of low temperature hydrothermal filling and magmatic activity, which is through the quartz mineral, high, medium and low temperature environment can be formed, so the common geological barite and quartz associated.
