Calcium fluoride Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Fluorspar is the main primary source of fluorine and its Compounds.In ferrous metallurgy it is used as a flux to increase the fluidity of the slag.The steel industry is the largest consumer; the chemical industry, second and glass and ceramics, third.Synthetic fluorspar is used in the optical industry (transmits u.v. rays), and pure calcium fluoride is used as catalyst in dehydration and dehydrogenations.Used to fluoridate drinking water.
