Uses of Fluorspar (CaF2)
Fluorite is an industrial mineral composed of calcium and fluorine (CaF2). Given its extensive downstream applications in various fluorine chemicals, metallurgy, ceramics, and building materials, it is a key commodity for all industrialized countries.
Fluorspar has two different levels of products:
Acid grade fluorite – a high-purity material used in the chemical industry, containing over 97% calcium fluoride and mainly used for the production of hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is an important intermediate in the fluorine chemical industry, mainly used in the production of fluorine chemical products, including refrigerants, aluminum fluoride, fluorine-containing polymers (fluororesins, fluororubber, fluorocoatings), electronic grade hydrofluoric acid (semiconductor cleaning agents), fluoride salts, etc. The fields involving new materials and new energy, such as fluoropolymers, fluorinated fine chemicals, and fluoride salts, are developing rapidly, and the proportion of consumption is expected to increase in the future.
Metallurgical grade fluorite – containing over 75% calcium fluoride. This material is mostly used for the production of iron, steel, and other metals. Fluorite can be used as a flux to remove impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus from molten metal, improving the fluidity of slag. Each ton of metal production requires 9 to 27 kilograms of fluorite.
High grade fluorite ore – containing over 65% calcium fluoride. Widely used in metal smelting, ceramics, cement production, and other industries. The production of these fields requires a stable source of calcium fluoride, and high-grade fluorite ore perfectly meets this demand.
Traditional applications are mainly focused on refrigerants, metallurgy, building materials, and small electronic products, while new high growth applications are mainly focused on new energy and new materials.
