barite beneficiation,barite beneficiation process

Barite ore

Barite is a sulfate mineral containing barium, and is an important industrial raw material for barium and barium compounds.As the barite features large density,low hardness,stable chemical properties,insoluble in water and acid, it is widely used in oil and gas drilling mud as weighting agent.The consumption in oil and gas exploitation accounts for about 90% of barite consumption.

The requirements of barite ore for drilling mud

The required density of drilling mud is 4.2+ g/cm3,but there are many rough barite ores which are associated with waste rock,the density is too low to be used directly, so the beneficiation process should be done.Although the barite is in great demand, the price of barite is not high, How to choose the cost-efficitive beneficiaion method is important for the barite miner.

Barite ore beneficiation process

The barite ore has big density and there is  big difference in density between barite ore and gangue minerals,so we can process the low-grade barite ore by means of gravity separation. The jig machine is a compact and efficient gravity separtion device that is utilized throughout the world.The jig machine has large unit processing capacity and large feeding size range, can process 0-8mm,8-30mm,30-50mm barite ore.In some areas,there are som miner who adopt the sprial chute and shaking table to process barite ore.But as the sprial chute and shaking table has small feeding size,usually below 2mm,and large occupy area, these machines are not widely used.

Barite ore beneficiation process flowchart

The jigging separation process for barite ore is as following:

The rough barite ore is broken by two-stage crushing,  screening the crushed ore by vibrating screen to get three fractions,0-8mm,8-30mm,30mm+.0-8mm barite ore is processed by fine size jig machine(LTA1010/2 jig machine,2LTC6109/8T jig machine);8-30mm is processed by lumpy ore jigmachine (AM30 jig machine,2FRT16-2 jig machine);+30mm barite ore will be recrushed.The jig machine can discarge the barite product and tailing continously, After dewatered, the material will be conveyored to dump.
