Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, is a major source of industrial fluorine element, is one of the world's  20 several important non-metallic mineral raw materials. It is widely used in metallurgy, aluminum, glass, ceramics, cement, chemical industry. Pure colorless and transparent fluorite can be used as an optical material, beautiful color fluorite also as a gem stone carving art craft materials. Fluorite is the basic raw material of fluorine chemical industry, its products are widely used in aerospace, aviation, refrigeration, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, anti-corrosion, fire, electronics, electrical, mechanical and nuclear and other fields.

Fluorite beneficiation process, it is by a roughing, several selection composed of operations, making oleic acid or its substitutes as flotation were rougher, process for the beneficiation - crushing - preparation - Mixed - sintered composite loop, At the near-neutral conditions and ambient temperature, fluorite ore flotation, fluorite concentrate obtained high recovery, good quality, low impurity, less drug consumption, low cost, suitable for all types of fluorite ore dressing plant applications.

Fluorite can produce hydrofluoric acid. It is a key ingredient in the production of a variety of organic and inorganic fluoride and fluorine element. In the aluminum industry, hydrofluoric acid used to produce aluminum fluoride, synthetic cryolite, sodium fluoride and magnesium fluoride. In the aerospace industry, the hydrofluoric acid is mainly used to produce jets of liquid propellant, jet fuel propellant missile. In the nuclear industry, the hydrofluoric acid is mainly used to produce UF4, then by fluorination generate UF6, separated by gaseous diffusion or gas centrifuge method 235U. Hydrofluoric acid is the basic raw material of organic fluorine chemical industry, which by interacting with chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, as refrigerants, aerosol air accelerator, sprays, fire extinguishing agents, pesticides, preservatives, protectants, additives, and anti-oxidant flux. In medicine, fluorite can also manufacture fluorine anti-cancer drugs, cortisone fluorine-containing fluorocarbon artificial blood, artificial hearts and bones. In the glass industry, fluorite as a flux, the light-shielding agent is added to promote the melting of glass raw materials. In cement production, fluorite as a mineralizing agent was joined. Fluorite can lower the sintering temperature of the charge to reduce the fuel consumption, while enhancing the viscosity of the liquid phase sintering clinker, promote the formation of tricalcium silicate. In the ceramic industry, fluorite is mainly used as enamel, it can play a role to help color and fluxing in enamel production process.

Fluorite resources are mainly distributed in Asia, China, Mongolia, Thailand, North America, Mexico, the United States, Canada and other places. South Africa, Kenya and Europe, France, Italy and the UK and other places in Africa also have some reserves. With the continuous development of technology and the national economy, fluorite has become an important modern industrial mineral raw materials, many developed countries regard it as an important strategic material carried reserves.
