Discover the unique charm of fluorite: an industrial treasure

In nature's treasure trove of minerals, fluorite occupies an indispensable place due to its unique properties and wide range of uses. It is not only the main source of fluorine, but also provides key support for the development of many industrial fields by virtue of its own characteristics.

From the perspective of chemical composition, fluorite is mainly composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂), which has strong stability and corrosion resistance, and is insoluble in water under normal conditions, but can react with dilute acid. This chemical property makes it an important cornerstone of the fluorine chemical industry. In the field of fluorine chemical industry, fluorite can react with sulfuric acid to produce hydrofluoric acid, and hydrofluoric acid, as a basic chemical raw material, is the key to the production of fluoropolymers, refrigerants, fluorine-containing fine chemicals, etc., and is widely used in aerospace, electronics, automotive and other industries.

The physical properties of fluorite are equally striking. Its hardness is 4 on the Mohs scale, the relative density is between 3.175 - 3.184, showing a clear vitreous luster, common colors are green, blue, purple, yellow, etc., and even a crystal can appear in a variety of colors, which can be called one of the most colorful minerals in nature. Moreover, some fluorite will emit blue or purple fluorescence when irradiated or heated by ultraviolet rays and cathode rays, and some fluorites containing rare earth elements can continue to emit light for a period of time after stopping irradiation, that is, phosphorescence, which makes it show its skills in the field of optics and is used to manufacture optical lenses, phosphors, etc.

In industrial applications, fluorite plays an important role. In the metallurgical industry, it is a powerful assistant in steelmaking and ironmaking, which can reduce the melting point of slag, increase the fluidity of the melt, effectively remove harmful impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus, and improve the quality of metals; In the building materials industry, fluorite is added to cement production as a mineralizing agent, which can reduce the sintering temperature, achieve energy saving and consumption reduction, and can also be used to make milky white glass, ceramics, etc., to improve product performance.
