Barite can be used as a white pigment, and also as a filler in chemicals, papermaking, and textiles. In the production of glass, it can act as a flux and increase the brightness of the glass.But it is mainly used as a weighting agent in the drilling industry and for barium extraction.

The crystals of barite are large and tubular, and the crystals can sometimes form rose-shaped or bifurcated crystal blocks when gathered together, which is called crested barite.Pure barite is colorless and transparent, generally white, light yellow, with glass luster.

Different uses of barite have different requirements for purity, whiteness, and impurity content.The barite weighting agent used as drilling mud generally requires a fineness of -0.056mm or more, and it is not allowed to contain harmful components such as magnesium oxide and lead.

The purification methods of barite include: hand selection, gravity separation, magnetic separation; flotation purification, calcination purification, and leaching purification. The main basis for hand selection is the difference between the color and density of barite and associated ore. Gravity selection is based on the density difference between barite and associated minerals for purification. Magnetic separation is a method of making use of the magnetic difference between different ores and performing separation under the action of magnetic force.

You can try the Shijiewang stone washing agent specially developed for the cleaning and purification of ore after mining.It can effectively improve the whiteness and purity of the ore, and restore the original color, texture and visual effect of the stone.It can be cleaned and purified by physical soaking,toxic free and safe, safer and more assured than traditional pickling, which greatly improves the quality and qualified utilization rate of ore, greatly improve the economic benefits of ore mining.
