The invention discloses a new process aiming at recycling treatment and comprehensive utilization of
barium sulfate waste residues, and is suitable for all
barium salt production manufacturing industries. The process has the main innovations that sintered ores and symbionts in the waste residues produced from production of
barium sulfate are stripped for the first time, the waste residues are sorted according to the difference of densities of components, and barite and
coal which are not reacted completely are recycled and return to a furnace for reuse; the
barium sulfate content of the recycled barite component can reach more than or equal to 80%; and the rest of the residues after harmless treatment are used for preparing an energy-saving wall filling material-a
foam concrete block having a
radiation protection function. The process not only solves
barium sulfate waste residue accumulation and
land occupation and various
pollution problems on the environment but also recycles the barite and
coal which are not reacted completely, besides, makes full use of the
radiation protection performance of barium, prepares the novel
radiation-protection
foam concrete block, saves energy, protects the environment, achieves the purpose of comprehensive utilization of resources, and thoroughly solves the
solid waste emission problems in the
barium salt production industries.
