The chemical industry utilizes this blend in the production of various fluorine compounds and barium salts. Fluorite is the primary source of fluorine, while barite is used to produce barium sulfate and other barium-based chemicals. The fine particle size ensures better reactivity, leading to higher yields and purer products in chemical synthesis.
For the oil and gas industry, the fluorite-barite powder is used as a weighting agent in drilling mud. The high density of barite helps in maintaining hydrostatic pressure, preventing blowouts, while fluorite contributes to the stability and viscosity of the mud. The 300-mesh fineness ensures good suspension in the mud, preventing settling and ensuring consistent performance during drilling operations.
The project employs a specialized grinding system designed to handle the hardness and density of fluorite and barite. A combination of cone crushers and vertical roller mills is used to achieve the desired fineness. An efficient magnetic separation system is integrated to remove any iron impurities, ensuring the purity of the final product. Strict safety measures are in place during the grinding process, especially for fluorite, which can release harmful gases if not properly handled.
