Barite ore is typically associated with difficult-to-remove vein minerals, but commercial barite products require a high BaSO content. We investigated the occurrence state of fluoride in barite ore using various analytical techniques, which indicated that elemental fluorine in barite predominantly exists as fluorite. Fluoride was then leached from barite ore via complexation.

Thermogravimetry was combined with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-Raman spectroscopy-mass spectrometry (TG-FTIR-RS-MS) and kinetic models to investigate the possible reaction mechanisms during the pyrolysis of phosphorus tailings and the changes in the release characteristics of pyrolysis volatiles. The results showed that the pyrolysis process occurred in three different stages.
