barium sulfate manufacturer

precipitated barium sulfate is one of the main species of barium compound series, which can be used as supplementary filler and widely used in various industries such as paint, plastic, rubber, paint, ink, insulation tape, ceramics, storage battery, enamel, etc. It can be used in acid-resistant rubber products and general products. It can also be used as a surface coating agent, sizing agent, weighting agent, etc.

In China, most of the precipitated barium sulfate production takes barite as raw material, and a large amount of particulate matter, exhaust gas, wastewater, and slag produced during the production process causes pollution to the environment, which brings difficulties to the business operation as the country has strengthened the environmental management. On the other hand, China also needs to import high-grade precipitated barium sulfate from abroad every year, and relevant information shows that the price of each ton of imported precipitated barium sulfate is 2.5 to 3 times the domestic export price, indicating that there is still a big gap between domestic products and foreign countries.

From the industry's current state, the future precipitated barium sulfate market is to be developed comprehensively with technology first. The development direction is mainly manifested in the following four aspects.

(1) Strengthen environmental management, energy conservation, and emission reduction, and reduce production costs.

For example, the use of coal-water slurry to replace pulverized coal combustion to improve the utilization rate of coal combustion; the use of flash technology so that drying and crushing combined to reduce the process and reduce dust pollution of the environment; high-temperature flue gas generated by the roaster for waste heat recovery, and the use of double-layer refractory bricks in the furnace, etc., to reduce energy consumption; the use of multi-effect evaporation and heat pump technology to reduce the steam consumption of the product.

(2) Research the precipitated barium sulfate market and continuously develop new fields.

The traditional precipitated barium sulfate market is concentrated in the coating, paint, ink, plastic, and other industries. With the rapid development of China's household cars and electric vehicles, precipitated barium sulfate as an electrode passivator has also been growing rapidly in the battery industry. In the automotive brake pad industry, precipitated barium sulfate is increasingly used as a filler due to its ability to improve friction materials' thermal stability and the materials' thermal recession performance. The development of this emerging market will certainly open up the application range of precipitated barium sulfate.

(3) Develop new products to make product differentiation.

Since precipitated barium sulfate is widely used, different fields have different requirements for precipitated barium sulfate. Such as used as a filler for ink, requiring stable color and oil absorption, scraper fineness at 15-20μm; and used in the paper industry, requiring particle size should not be too small because the particle size is too small will make the retention rate of barium sulfate in paper drop, not only waste materials, resulting in increased paper costs but also may reduce the opacity of paper; used as filler for rubber and other composite materials, under good dispersion performance, the smaller the particle size, The better, the greater the enhancement effect. Therefore, companies should follow the market demand and timely adjustment of product quality to serve the market. At the same time, actively develop new products, such as conductive barium sulfate, etc., to better occupy the market.

(4) Actively promote the industrialized production of nano-precipitated barium sulfate to seize the technical high ground.

Nano barium sulfate particle size is small, has narrow distribution, has good dispersion, and can effectively improve the paint, printing ink, and other tones, making it more distinct and lustrous. However, the current method of preparing nano-precipitated barium sulfate of tens of nanometers mostly stays in the laboratory stage, and the purity and particle size distribution of nano-barium sulfate produced in large quantities industrially cannot meet the ideal requirements. The supply of barium sulfate at home and abroad exceeds the demand, and the industrialized production of barium sulfate is the urgent demand of the chemical material market at home and abroad.

China has a large amount of barite mineral resources, and the production of precipitated barium sulfate has a unique resource advantage. Still, the product is mainly used in low-end paints and coatings. The manufacturers' quality does not vary greatly, compared with foreign products, both in terms of quality and price have a certain gap. Therefore, developing high-quality precipitated barium sulfate products is not only an efficient use of natural resources but also can increase the economic benefits of enterprises by improving the technical content of products. Therefore, Chinese precipitated barium sulfate manufacturers should accelerate technological development, strengthen the sense of crisis, adhere to innovation, and change from a single rough development to comprehensive utilization to achieve clean and civilized production and sustainable development.
