Develop a Process to Remove Lead from Barite (BaSO4)
FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01
Summary
The primary objective of the proposed project is to research and develop a process to upgrade barite (BaSO4) from API to industrial grades (97%+) and, more importantly, to significantly reduce the lead content
found in the final product. This will be achieved by developing a test procedure to upgrade barite via flotation and then remove lead via leaching. Testing will also provide the opportunity to obtain critical design criteria to ultimately engineer the required commercial scale processing facility. The technology and ability to produce an industrial-grade barite product will provide a significantly more robust market for the final product.

Description (French)
L'objectif principal du projet proposé est de rechercher et de mettre au point un procédé permettant d'améliorer la barytine (BaSO4) de la qualité API à la qualité industrielle (97 %+) et, plus important encore, de réduire de manière considérable la teneur en plomb présente dans le produit final. Pour ce faire, une procédure d'essai sera mise au point afin d'améliorer la barytine par flottation et d'éliminer ensuite le plomb par lixiviation. Les essais permettront également d'obtenir des critères de conception cruciaux pour finalement concevoir l'installation de traitement à l'échelle commerciale requise. La technologie et la capacité de produire un produit de barytine de qualité industrielle permettront d'obtenir un marché beaucoup plus robuste pour le produit final.
