“…Academically, the complex network can reveal many new features and topology dynamics of international trade entirely and partially [ 16 ]. Complex network theory is currently widely used to analyze the topological characteristics, time evolution characteristics, community evolution, and competition pattern of mineral resource trade networks, such as coal [ 17 ], fossil fuel [ 18 ], boron ore [ 19 ], lithium [ 20 ], nickel [ 21 ], barite [ 22 ]. The evolution of the global potassium salt trade pattern still needs further study.…”

Potassium is a decisive strategic resource to ensure food safety production and supply, which many nations define as a critical metal. Due to the unbalanced distribution of resources and production capacity and the separation of the primary potassium-consuming and supplying countries, international trade is the main supply channel for potassium-consuming countries to acquire enough resources. Understanding the characteristics of potassium trade networks and the evolution of trade patterns is essential for supply security. To explore this issue, this paper employs the complex network theory to quantitatively analyze the evolution characteristics of the global potassium trade network (PTN) from 2000 to 2021. The results show (1) Overall, the potassium trade shows a trend of gradual prosperity, efficiency, and concentration; (2) During the two decades, the main exporting countries of potassium remained stable, while imports changed significantly; (3) The evolution of the potassium trade community has characterized the fragmentation-regionalization-high concentration over time; (4) The trade flow of PTN is unbalanced, and few countries show outstanding capabilities but a single function. These findings would help trade policymakers manage the supply of strategic raw materials more effectively.

“…Barite (BaSO 4 ) is an essential non-metallic mineral that is widely used in oil and gas drilling, chemical engineering, metallurgy, and other industrial fields [1][2][3], particularly plays a vital role as a mud weighting reagent in oil and gas drilling [4][5][6]. As a major country in terms of barite reserves and consumption [7,8], long-standing issues with rough development and over-consumption, led to a composition of "poor, fine, mixed" and resulted in a shortage of high-quality barite.…”

High-density waste drilling fluid contains an abundance of recyclable weighting reagents, direct disposal can pollute the environment. In this paper, the primary mineral composition of a high-density waste drilling fluid from a well in the southwest oil and gas field was analyzed. This paper proposes β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a depressant for the recovery of barite from waste drilling fluid. The recovery process was investigated through inverse flotation experiments, and the mechanism was analyzed using zeta potential, contact angle analysis, and FTIR. The flotation experiments showed that under the SDS flotation system, when the pH was 9.0 and the amount of depressant β-CD was 900 g/t, the barite recovery and density reached the highest values, which were 87.41% and 4.042 g/cm3, respectively. Zeta potential experiments, contact angle analysis, and FTIR analysis indicate that β-CD adsorbed onto barite through enhancing the hydrophilicity of barite, electrostatic force adsorption, and strong adsorption, which could not be displayed by SDS through competitive adsorption. Furthermore, β-CD exhibited a selective inhibitory effect on barite and enabled reverse flotation. The mechanism model of the flotation separation process was established.
