What is the economic value of barite? Where is the main producing area?
Other: Barite and oil mixed coating base on manufacturing tarpaulin; barite powder for refining kerosene; gastrointestinal contrast agent in the pharmaceutical industry; it can also be used for pesticides, tanning, fireworks etc.. In addition, barite is also used for extraction of metal barium as getter binder, television and other vacuum tubes. An alloy made of barium and other metals (aluminum, magnesium, lead, calcium) used in bearings.
Barite is the most common mineral of barium, which is made up of barium sulfate. In the low temperature hydrothermal veins, such as quartz barite vein, fluorite and barite vein, often associated with galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, cinnabar etc.. Barite deposits in China's Hunan, Guangxi, Qinghai and Jiangxi are mostly large hydrothermal mineral veins. Barite can be produced in sedimentary rocks, sedimentary rocks are like tuberculosis, mud and sand in sedimentary manganese deposits in shallow water and. In the residual clay deposits of weathered residual deposits, they often become compact and massive. Its chemical composition is: BaO:65.7%, SO3:34.3%. There are Sr, Pb and Ca isomorphism in composition.
In the paint industry, barite powder filler can increase the film thickness, strength and durability;5. papermaking, rubber and plastics industry also make packing with barite;
Barite is an important non-metallic mineral raw material, and has a wide range of industrial applications.1. can be used as drilling fluid weighting agent;2. can be used as lithopone pigment;3. barium compounds;
