This process is repeated until a slurry of barite is formed with no free water. Water required to moisten local barite crystals was found to be 0.18 cc/g which is in agreement with the literature cited water requirement for commercial barite used in oil well cementing which is estimated to be 2.4 gal/100 lb of barite (0.20 cc/g) [13].

Barite

Barite (BaSO 4) is a widespread mineral in deep-sea sediments, varying between 1% and 10% by weight on a carbonate-free basis.It is the predominant Ba phase in the ocean. BaSO 4 is known to compose a solid solution series with SrSO 4 as celestobarite in the skeletal portions of some marine organisms (i.e., the Xenophyophoria) and is often …

The American Petroleum Institute (API) has established specifications for the use of barite in drilling mud. To meet these specifications, the barite is finely ground so that at least 97% of the material, by weight, can pass through a 200-mesh (75-μm) screen, and no more than 30%, by weight, can be less than 6 μm diameter.
