Fluorite has a wide variety of uses. The primary uses are in the metallurgical, ceramics, and chemical industries; however, optical, lapidary, and other uses are also important. Fluorspar, the name used for fluorite when it is sold as a bulk material or in processed form, is sold in three different grades (acid, ceramic, and metallurgical).

The fluorspar ores at Okorusu, Namibia, are associated with an alkaline igneous-carbonatite ring dike complex. 1–7 The complex is probably of early Cretaceous age, and it intrudes into late Pre-cambrian Damara Series regionally metamorphosed quartzites, marbles, and biotite schists. The metasedimentary rocks have been thoroughly fenitized …
"More importantly, while there is a good understand of mining in South Africa, fluorspar chemicals beneficiation is less well-known and hence riskier. "We were trying to combine a relatively simple mining project with a more complex fluorspar beneficiation process with a large capital ticket of between US$400 and US$500 million. As such ...
In this study, we report, for the first time in Pakistan, that the indigenous Fluorspar can directly be used as a metallurgical flux without any beneficiation process as it is rich in Fluorite and ...
Beneficiation – Sepfluor. Beneficiation. South Africa currently exports all its fluorspar as acidspar and metspar primarily to Europe for hydrogen fluoride beneficiation and the production of aluminum fluoride. Due to the facilities for downstream products being overseas, these products are re-imported into South Africa at a higher cost which ...
The fluorspar deposits at Okorusu in north-central Namibia are spatially and genetically associated with the Okorusu early Cretaceous alkaline igneous-carbonatite complex. Fluorspar production at Okorusu has exceeded 130,000 tons of fluorspar concentrate per year, ranking Okorusu as one of the world's great fluorspar-producing …
Fluorspar beneficiation result: The fluorite recovery rate is 83.13% and the concentrate grade is 97.78%. After the implementation of the project, it provides about 65,000 tons of fluorite powder to society every year, helping to increase the local employment rate and economic benefits.
Fluorite ore flotation is a method of extracting fine-grained disseminated fluorite ore by means of flotation beneficiation. This method is mainly used to produce high-quality chemical grade fluorspar concentrate. Due to the higher requirements on the concentrate grade, it is also the only way to produce chemical-grade fluorspar powder ore.
A modeling, simulation and optimization study of a complex industrial fluorspar beneficiation plant (Kadipani, Gujarat, India) with fourteen/ten flotation banks is carried out to find an optimum/near-optimum circuit for the given quality of feed ore. The phenomenological flotation model developed by Mehrotra and Kapur (1974) is used for …
Abstract. Fluorite (fluorspar), an important industrial mineral ore, is one of the major raw materials for the production of hydrofluoric acid. Naturally occurring …
Abstract. The amenability of column flotation for the beneficiation of fluorspar was investigated, and the overall performance of the column flotation was …
The amenability of column flotation for the beneficiation of fluorspar was investigated, and the overall performance of the column flotation was compared to the performance of the existing conventional flotation cells at the plant. It was established that improved grades and recoveries could be obtained by adopting column technology. …
Almost all fluorspar deposits contain various amounts of impurities such as silica, calcite, barite, and metallic sulfides and therefore require beneficiation. In weathered exposures, fluorspar is a difficult mineral to find and identify. Because it is soft and friable, some forms tend to disintegrate rapidly when exposed-2-
SepFluor Limited (SepFluor) is rapidly emerging as the 'new name' in fluorspar exploration, mining and beneficiation – in South Africa and globally.
