Better conservation of barium would be possible 

 if supplies of barite available as a coproduct were 

 utilized more fully. Techniques also might be de- 

 veloped to extend known barite resources through 

 the reuse of barite and barium products, almost none 

 of which are recovered for reuse in today's salvage 

 and recycling operations.
