Barium Mining | Processing Equipment | Flow Chart | Cases
Barium (Ba) is obtained chiefly from the mineral barite. Barium is a soft, silvery, reactive metal. Because barium is so dense it is commonly used in some alloys, for example in spark plugs and ball bearings. As of 2013, China, India and Morocco were the world's largest producers of barium. In the U.S, barite is mined primarily in Nevada and ...

Density-Functional Theory Investigation of Barite Scale Inhibition
where E (surf+inhib) is the energy of the system with the inhibitor, E surf is the optimized barite surface energy, which was fixed for all inhibitors because the same surface was used for the different inhibitors, and E inhibitor is the energy of the optimized inhibitor alone. The values for E inhib for each inhibitor was obtained directly from the output data from the VASP simulation.
