Barite is the most common mineral of barium, and its main component is barium sulfate. It is usually white and shiny, but it may also appear gray, light red or light yellow due to impurities. Barite has stable chemical properties, no toxicity, and it is insoluble in water or hydrochloric acid. By processing crude barite ore through grinding, grading and other steps, chemical grade barite powder can be obtained. In order to have a deeper understanding, next, we’ll talk about the application and modification of barite powder.
Application of barite powder
Barite powder is an important non-metallic mineral raw material with a wide range of application. The main application areas of it are petroleum industry and chemical industry. In petroleum industry, barite powder can act as weighting agent for oil and gas drilling mud; In chemical industry, it can act as raw material to manufacture various barium-containing chemical products, such as barium carbonate, barium sulfate, and barium oxide.
In addition, barite powder can also be used in paint industry to increase the thickness, strength and durability of the paint. Moreover, in rubber and plastic industry, barite powder can improve the hardness, wear resistance and aging resistance of rubber and plastic products.
Modification of barite powder
Due to the reason that the surface of barite powder is hydrophilic, while most polymer materials are hydrophobic, it is difficult for barite powder to be evenly dispersed in polymer materials, this affects the comprehensive performance of the composite material. In order to further improve its performance and expand its application areas, the surface of barite powder must be modified.
At present, the most commonly used method for modifying barite powder is surface coating modification.
Surface coating modification of barite powder refers to a technology that forms a stable and uniform coating layer on the surface of barite particles by physical or chemical methods to change its surface properties. The surface of the modified barite powder is hydrophilic and oleophobic, this can mproves its dispersibility and affinity in composite materials.
