In order to obtain high grade fluorite raw materials (CaF2 ≥ 97%), froth flotation has been the most commonly used beneficiation process for fluorite ores, employing fatty acid collectors. The grade of fluorspar, which acts as an intermediate source for most of the fine chemicals containing fluorine with the principal applications being:

Aluminium production – used to produce aluminium fluoride (ALF3) which acts as a flux to lower the bath temperature in the manufacture of aluminium. 

Chemical industry to manufacture hydrofluoric acid (HF), the primary source of all fluorochemicals (the single largest consumer of fluorspar), the HF is then used to manufacture a variety of products which include: fluorocarbon chemicals, refrigerants and a variety fluoride chemicals. Other application further downstream are:

Fluorocarbons, e.g. refrigerant gases, propellants, etc
