FLOURSPAR / FLUORITE
Fluorspar is used as fluxing agent which increases the fluidity of steel
Two Types of Grade :-1. Acid Grade and
2. Metallurgical Grade
Fluorspar is recognised as a strategic mineral by the United States of America and the European Union and is mined for the production of calcium fluoride (CaF2). Calcium fluoride is a vital component in several industrial applications, including steel production. It is also used to make hydrogen fluoride (AHF) which, in turn, is used in the production of refrigerants and to make aluminum tri-fluoride (AlF3), critical in aluminum smelting; uranium fluoride (UF6), used in nuclear power stations; and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), used to make the electrolyte for lithium batteries.
Other applications further downstream are:
- refrigerants
- ceramics
- glass
- plastics
- healthcare equipment
- construction materials
- electronic and electrical equipment
- motor vehicles
- pharmaceuticals
- fluorochemicals
