After the experimental observation of charged and neutral 
, it is of prime importance to pursue searches for additional production modes of these exotic states. In this work, we investigate the possibility to study the through weak decays of b-baryons at the LHCb. Decay amplitudes for various processes have been parametrized in terms of the SU(3) irreducible nonperturbative amplitudes. A number of relations for the partial decay widths are deduced from these results. The decay widths of 
, 
and 
have also been calculated from which some relevant partial decay widths of b-baryons could be estimated. The results presented in this paper can be tested experimentally at hadron colliders in the future.
