The barite stone factory is responsible for producing processed products from granulated barite stone with direct supply to the entire country.
Barite stone is a valuable product, and selling it in raw form to foreign countries destroys the opportunity to use the unique capabilities of this stone.
If barite ore is processed inside the country, in addition to boosting exports, it will increase its selling price.
barite factory plays a significant role in this field and tries to turn a huge amount of barite resources into valuable material every year. Fortunately, this factory has been able to create a large number of job opportunities for people.
Barite stone purchase price
Barite is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate, which is extracted from mines during washing, separation and flotation processes.
This stone is usually found impure along with other minerals in sand, hot springs and sandstone.
The characteristics of barite stone include hardness of 3-5.3, majesty, transparency, high compatibility, stable in natural temperature, crystalline structure, height of one meter, length and width of two meters, ability to reflect light, weight of 5.4, variety of colors. Such as white, blue, yellow, green and red pointed out.
Barite stone has many applications, such as oil well extraction, gas well drilling, oxygen and sulfur isotope identification, radiation shielded cement production, production of resistant parts in the automotive industry, paint and plastic industry, ceramic and glass industry, medical industry, filler, Production of chemicals containing barium, production of glass, production of LED TVs, computer monitors, sugar refining, textiles, paper and use as precious stones.
Because barite contains quartz, it is not suitable for the respiratory system and also causes the risk of cancer in humans.
At the time of buying barite stone, you should pay attention to points such as not exposing the stone to moisture and water, avoiding non-standard transportation, keeping bags containing barite in a dry and cool place, using proper ventilation, ensuring that the lid of barite bags is closed.
Due to the many advantages and various forms of barite stone, its purchase price in the world markets is different depending on the degree of purity and consumption.
Barite rock analysis
Nowadays, due to the fact that in the market of buying and selling precious stones such as barite, fraud has increased; Therefore, a lot of attention should be paid when buying stones.
Some of the things that can be mentioned for the analysis of original barite stones from fake ones include light color, lack of solubility in acid, crystal shape, model of cracks and specific weight of this stone, quality and original barite stones have a higher price in the world markets.
Barite stones with cheap prices can be fake or poor quality impurities have been added in the processing processes of this stone.
Some managers of precious stone processing and distribution companies create fake barite stones in order to have a high sale of stones and earn a lot of money.
The things that should be paid attention to in order to distinguish between genuine and fake stones are:
1- Adding impurities to barite can change its color.
2- Dissolving barite in acid can indicate its fakeness.
3- The natural weight of barite is almost high, so the weight of the stone being lower than normal is another sign that it is not original.
Gold barite stone
Due to the fact that gold has a very high value in the world market, therefore, finding stones containing gold will boost the gold buying and selling market.
Gold usually occurs naturally, but alloys of gold are found with other metals, including copper, iron, silver, and arsenic.
Gold alloy and other metals such as barium are rare, so it is difficult to find barite containing gold veins and they are only found in some areas of the world.
Gold is found in higher percentages in sandstones and spa springs, and since barite stones are found in these cases, gold-bearing barite stones can be extracted from areas containing sandstone and spa springs.
Gold mineralization in barite rocks is done by various methods, including resistance method and induction polarization.
Advanced technologies are used to extract gold veins in barite gemstones, and sometimes the controlled explosion of barite stone is used to harvest it.
Golden barite stones have many properties, including creating freshness, eliminating negative energy, increasing energy, increasing peace and friendship, strengthening the mind, cleansing the soul, relieving stomach pain, healing coughs and sore throats, helping to strengthen vision and vocal chords.
Barite price in Iran
Many factors influence the price of barite in Iran, the non-toxic feature of barite is very important, non-toxic barite has a higher price and quality, good barite does not react with the physical and chemical substances of the environment.
Low-quality barytes with high reactivity are harmful and dangerous for the environment, the weight of baryte is also a characteristic to determine its quality, it is better to have a heavy baryte.
The lifestyle of the people of the world is moving towards that the need for oil and gas as a combustible material and energy provider is increasing, one of the things needed in the extraction of oil and gas is barite, this case shows the role and importance of barite stone.
Many countries with oil and gas resources are looking to buy barite from world markets, America is the best example for this case.
The United States is not able to provide the barite it needs only through its domestic production, so it is considered one of the biggest buyers of barite in the world markets.
This increase in demand has caused an increase in its value and price in such a way that the price of barite rose between 10 and 20 percent within a year.
Iran ranks fourth in terms of barite production in the world, China and India rank first and second respectively, the reason for this is the abundant reserves of barite in these countries.
Fortunately, the number of barite mines inside the country is very high, in Iran, the abundance of mines causes a large volume of barite to be extracted annually.
But unfortunately, it must be stated that due to problems, the maximum capacity of the country’s barite mines cannot be used in the extraction of barite stone, despite the wide use of this stone in various industries, its global market is in trouble.
Extraction and processing of barite requires a lot of knowledge and expertise in order to reduce its cost, the authorities of the country should take great steps in the direction of modernizing the equipment and supplies of barite extraction, because traditional methods are no longer suitable for extracting this stone with high efficiency. It is necessary to turn to new technology.
Iran, which accounts for almost half of the barite in the world, has 19 active mines, West Azerbaijan province is also one of the suppliers of barite in the country.
