Caracterización de barita cubana y su reducción carbotérmica en horno de microondas

The Cuban Barite (BaSO<sub>4</sub>) is characterized by X ray diffraction, chemical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The principal components are identified and its characteristic morphology is shown. Its carbothermic reduction under microwave irradiation is carried out with the purpose of to improve the yield of this stage during the mineral transformation process in reagent of barium of diverse applications.<br><br>La barita cubana (BaSO<sub>4</sub>) se ha caracterizado por difracción de rayos X, análisis químico y microscopía electrónica de barrido.
