Determination of carbonate content in barite ore by headspace gas chromatography

This paper reports a method for determining the carbonate content in barite ore using headspace gas chromatography. Based on the acidification reaction, the carbonate in the barite ore was converted to CO₂ in a closed headspace vial. When the carbonate content was significant, the pressure caused changes in the CO₂ and O₂ signals and affected the measurement accuracy. It was found that carbonate content is proportional to the intensity ratio of the CO₂ to O₂ signals. Thus, the carbonate content in barite ore can be measured indirectly using a theoretical model. The results showed that the carbonate in 3 g of barite ore sample with a particle size of 74 μm could react completely with a hydrochloric acid solution (2 mol/L) at 65°C for 5 min. The method described herein had good precision (relative standard deviation < 4.14%) and accuracy (relative differences < 6.12%). Further, the limit of quantification was 0.07 mol/L. Owing to its simplicity and speed, this method can be used for the batch determination of carbonate content in barite ore.

Isothermal crystallization kinetics and melting behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/barite nanocomposites

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/Barite nanocomposites were prepared by direct melt compounding. The effects of PET‐Barite interfacial interaction on the dynamic mechanical properties and crystallization were investigated by DMA and DSC. The results showed that Barite can act as a nucleating agent and the nucleation activity can be increased when the Barite was surface‐modified (SABarite). SABarite nanoparticles induced preferential lamellae orientation because of the strong interfacial interaction between PET chains and SABarite nanoparticles, which was not the case in Barite filled PET as determined by WAXD. For PET/Barite nanocomposites, the Avrami exponent n increased with increasing crystallization temperature. Although at the same crystallization temperature, the n value will decrease with increasing SABarite content, indicating of the enhancement of the nucleation activity. Avrami analyses suggest that the nucleation mechanism is different. The activation energy determined from Arrhenius equation reduced dramatically for PET/SABarite nanocomposite, confirming the strong interfacial interaction between PET chains and SABarite nanoparticles can reduce the crystallization free energy barrier for nucleus formation. In the DSC scan after isothermal crystallization process, double melting behavior was found. And the double endotherms could be attributed to the melting of recrystallized less perfect crystallites or the secondary lamellae produced during different crystallization processes. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

重晶石和铁矿粉对套管/钻杆摩擦副摩擦磨损性能的影响

利用MG-200型高温高速摩擦磨损试验机对比考察了钻井液中所含的重晶石和铁矿粉对套管和钻杆试件摩擦学性能的影响，并采用扫描电子显微镜观察分析了磨损表面形貌，探讨了其磨损机理．结果表明，钻井液中的重晶石使得套管／钻杆磨损机理由严重塑性流动转变为磨粒磨损；而随着钻井液中铁矿粉含量的增大，磨损机理由磨粒磨损转变为粘着磨损和疲劳磨损；当铁矿粉含量较低时，采用较高的转速更有利于减小摩擦。     

磷酸二氢铵转化法测定硫酸钡含量

针对目前重晶石中硫酸钡含量测定方法研究不多、进展缓慢的问题,提出了一种对重晶石预处理后测定硫酸钡的方法,采用磷酸二氢铵与重晶石在700℃发生复分解反应,将不溶于水且不溶于酸的硫酸钡转化为可溶于酸的磷酸钡盐,最后依据确定的磷钡比关系,根据总磷含量间接得到钡含量。实验结果表明,磷酸二氢铵与硫酸钡的物质的量之比为2.0,并在700℃的条件下高温煅烧,可使硫酸钡全部转化完全,形成偏磷酸钡,再经过氢氧化钠、双氧水处理,转变为正磷酸氢钡并溶于盐酸中,与喹钼柠酮试剂形成磷钼酸喹啉沉淀,根据沉淀质量可准确计算出样品中硫酸钡的含量。测定的结果准确、方法可行。对测定重晶石中硫酸钡的含量提出一种新的思路和解决方案,具有实际意义。     

Utilization of barite/cement composites for gamma rays attenuation

The present work is directed to investigate the contribution of adding barite aggregates to cement as a shielding material for radioactive wastes disposal facilities. The percentages of barite from 5% up to 20% mixed with cement with different grain sizes were examined. Mechanical and physical properties such as compressive strength, wet and dry densities, water absorption, and porosity have been investigated. The thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction were used to examine the thermal stability and the characterizations of studied samples, respectively. The linear attenuation coefficient, mean free path, half value layer, and transmission fraction were evaluated. All the nuclear shielding parameters revealed the uppermost values for cement mixed with 5% barite of size range 250–600?µm. The attenuation coefficient of the investigated samples displayed an increase by more than 125% than that of neat cement.     

Laser-induced luminescence of barite after thermal treatment

The photoluminescence (PL) of barite is a noncharacteristic property and cannot be used for the investigation of its structure. After thermal treatment of barite at 600°C several luminescent centers were observed, providing information about different impurities. UO ₂ ²⁺ was determined from the vibrational structure and the long decay time of the luminescence band. Two different types of uranyl were detected, thin films of uranyl mineral (most probably, reserfordin) and a solid solution of uranyl ion in barite crystal. Characteristic green luminescence of UO ₂ ²⁺ may be used as indicative feature for the prospecting of uranium deposits and for the sorting of barite ores with the aim of cleaning from harmful U impurities. Eu²⁺ was determined from the spectral position, the half-width and the characteristic decay time of the luminescence band. Mn²⁺ and Ag⁺ were determined by comparing luminescence bands spectral parameters to those of synthesized BaSO₄−Mn and BaSO₄−Ag. Fe³⁺ or Mn⁴⁺ were determined from the spectral-kinetic parameters of the luminescence bands. Dedicated to Professor Lisa Heller-Kallai on the occasion of her 65^th birthday
