Fluorspar must be high in calcium fluoride and low in silica for manufac-ture of hydrofluoric acid and fluoride compounds. Very little fluorspar can meet the specifications for chemical grade material without special purifica-tion processes - usually flotation. A typical process of such ore beneficiation would be as follows : The ore is fed

The future for fluorspar mining should see increased processing of tailings and use of small, flexible, and potentially mobile modular processing plants to exploit complex small fluorspar resources. Thank you and hope to see you in Hanoi in October! Fluorine Forum 2021 ONLINE was a most stimulating day of discussion, albeit virtual.

Acid Grade Fluorspar or acidspar (CaF₂), is a fine-grained material composed of 51.1% calcium and 48.9% fluorine. Acidspar is generally 97% – 99.9% calcium fluoride depending on the deposits, mining techniques, and processing techniques.
