Fluorspar: the EV critical mineral no one has heard of
Fluorspar is the commercial name of mineral fluorites, in particular: acidspar, metaspar and ceramic (there are others as well, such as optical).. It is used across chemical production, particularly refrigerants and fluoropolymers, cement, glass, iron, steel and aluminium casting, as well as for processing uranium.. The most widely used fluorspar, expected to …

Therefore, in the process of sorting, it is necessary to first break the joint body of fluorite and waste rock, and then use the method of re-selection to discard the waste rock that is obviously different from the fluorite essence. In this way, high-quality fluorspar crystal blocks can be obtained, which can be used as fluorspar for metallurgy.
