Solubility of Barium Sulfate in Water at Elevated Temperatures …
This work includes a comparison of the experimental solubility data to the thermodynamic model ... g. corrosion, scaling, etc. The issue of concern in this paper is mineral scale formation by brine mixing as occurs in barium sulfate (barite, BaSO4) scaling. Barite formation in the prodn. well and tubes occurs in many oilfields when sulfate-rich ...
