Barium sulfate industry development status and future direction is what? Barium sulfate, also known as barite powder, chemical composition of BaSO4, crystal is orthogonal (orthorhombic) crystal system of sulfate minerals. Mixing, reaction at 80 degrees C, the formation of precipitation, after suction filtration, water washing and acid washing, adjust the pH value of 5~6, and then filter, drying, grinding.

Barium sulfate mainly comes from barite ore, and barite resources are abundant in the world, with reserves of 2 billion t. China ranks first in the world, the United States and India rank second and third in the world, followed by Russia and Peru.

Barium sulfate is divided into natural barium sulfate and precipitated barium sulfate according to the production process. Barium sulfate is used in petrochemical, chemical, rubber, ceramics and other industries according to the thickness. Precipitated barium sulfate is chemically synthesized. It has the characteristics of high whiteness, good purity, soft hue, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, stable chemical composition, and relatively low price. It is widely used in plastics, papermaking, coatings, paints, and man-made Floor tiles, rubber, construction supplies and other fields.

Barium sulfate is widely used as a component in the coatings industry for the white plastics industry. Barium sulfate is transparent in nature, so it is used as a filler or to change the consistency of the coating. Therefore, the growing automotive industry is expected to drive the overall growth of the paint and coatings industry, which in turn is expected to boost the global demand for barium sulfate market. The growing construction industry will also help increase the overall growth of the barium sulfate market. Barium sulfate is widely used as a plastic filler during the manufacture of polypropylene and polystyrene.

The barium sulfate industry as a whole is still facing the situation of large production capacity. The overall profit pressure of barium sulfate in the Glauber's salt process has increased, the demand of downstream industries is unstable, and high value-added products have relatively high profit space. However, it is necessary to ensure the long-term stability of product quality and meet the unique needs of different customers, and pay more attention to the application changes of downstream industries.
