Coprecipitation in the barite isostructural family: 1. binary mixing properties

This study attempts to provide a theoretical evaluation of coprecipitation and fundamental data of binary mixing properties in the barite isostructural family. Mixing properties of binary solid solutions in the barite isostructural family were derived from evaluation of coprecipitation experiments and partitioning coefficients reported in the literature. The Margules parameters, W, for these binary systems correlate well through the relationship,
