The specific gravity of barite is 4.2-4.6, while the particular gravity of gangue minerals such as quartz and calcite is 2.6-2.8. This large density difference makes gravity separation ideal for separating barite from other minerals. A jig separator usually separates The barite ore from the gangue minerals. A jig works by pulsing water through ...

What is Baryte. Baryte is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate (BaSO4). baryte is generally white or colorless and is the main source of barium. The barite group consists of baryte, celestine (strontium sulfate), anglesite (lead sulfate), and anhydrite (calcium sulfate). Baryte and celestine form a solid solution (Ba, Sr)SO4.
