The uses of barite

The uses of barite are as follows:
Weighting agent for drilling mud
80% to 90% of barite is used as a weighting agent for oil and gas drilling mud, which can increase the density of drilling fluid and prevent wellbore collapse.
Lithopone pigment
Lithopone is a rare high-quality white pigment made from barite. The pigment contains a high content of barium sulfate, ensuring that visible colored impurities are minimized.
Raw materials for the production of various barium compounds
Barium oxide, barium carbonate, barium chloride, barium nitrate, precipitated barium sulfate, barium hydroxide, barium titanate, and other chemical raw materials can be produced using barite as the raw material.
rubber industry
Products with a mesh size of less than 500 can be widely used as fillers in rubber products, reducing costs, improving product hardness, acid and alkali resistance, and water resistance. They also have good reinforcement effects on natural rubber and synthetic rubber.
The development trend of barite is to continuously seek higher purity and finer particle size to meet the needs of different industries. Deep processing of barite, such as ultrafine powder refinement, purification, and surface modification, can not only broaden its application fields, but also bring considerable economic benefits and social value. Therefore, choosing a good grinding equipment is crucial. Liming Heavy Industry LUM ultrafine vertical mill is a powerful assistant for fine processing of barite.
