The paper reports the effect of nature of coal on the carbothermal reduction of barite by using different types of coal. Usually in industrial practices, the reductive operations are carried out by using any type of cheap and easily available coal, but the extent of reduction rarely exceeds 35-40%. After admixing the steam coal in matrix, yields have been found to increase to the order of 51 to 53%. The obtained results prove to be quite economical in industrial practices.
