The precipitation of barium sulfate has little to do with acidity or alkalinity. During the purification of brine, the high salt concentration affects the precipitation of barium sulfate as well as the efficiency of this precipitation; this is due to the salt effect, not the acidity or alkalinity of the brine.
The impact is minimal; it does not affect the removal of sulfate ions
