Fluorspar / Fluorite Mineral Flotation. Fluorspar (or fluorite) is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It is a naturally occurring mineral that tends to form in rocks subjected to hydrothermal activity. These rocks can also contain metallic ores, which may include sulfides of tin, silver, lead, zinc, copper, and other metals.
After an initial flotation step to produce feed, the fluorspar purification process consisted of four steps. Firstly, a magnetic separation step was conducted to pre-concentrate the fluorspar into a non-magnetic fraction, while concentrating Fe- and REE-bearing minerals in the magnetic fraction.
The present standard applies for fluorspar (fluorite) concentrates supplied in the form of flotation concentration designed for hydrofluoric acid and fluoric salts production as well as for chemical and glass industry.
Laboratory flotation testing of fluorspar minerals is important in understanding this valuable mineral's behavior and processing potential. By subjecting fluorite ore samples to various flotation conditions, researchers can determine the optimal combination of reagents and operating parameters for efficient recovery.

Processing of fluorite ores is the process of separating fluorite concentrate from fluorite ore. Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, has a chemical composition of CaF2, which is usually symbiotic with quartz, calcite, barite, and clay. Fluorite is mainly used as a slag-making flux for steel smelting in the metallurgical industry, and the ...
About - Canada Fluorspar Inc. Canada Fluorspar Inc. (CFI) is planning to develop the St. Lawrence Fluorspar Mine in St. Lawrence, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. CFI will mine fluorspar ore from the AGS Vein, produce acid-grade and metspar fluorspar concentrate, and export the product to domestic and international markets.
Although the beneficiation of fluorspar ores is readily effected by use of so-called anionic flotation reagents such as fatty acids, tall oils and the like, as well as various soaps thereof, the elimination of certain mineral impurities from the concentrate, thereby improving fluorspar grade, has been a diflicult and costly task.
The plant will produce 200,000 tpa of fluorspar concentrate and 200,000 tpa of dense media separation floats. The project included a new process plant (comminution circuit, DMS, flotation, concentrate thickening / filtering / storage), associated infrastructure to support the project, upgrade of an existing tailings storage facility, HV power ...
British Fluorspar Ltd (BFL) operates a lead-fluorite-barite deposit located in the Peak Lake District (Derbyshire, UK) with fluorspar as the main product and lead and barite as by-products. Recent analysis of the CaF2 concentrate showed high values of deleterious elements such as Pb, P, S and As, which affect the quality of the product.
Fluorspar, also known as fluorite, is commonly used as a raw material to produce fluorinated chemicals (e.g., hydrofluoric acid) or as a flux to lower the melting temperature in steel production. In the present study, a process was developed to produce a fluorite concentrate from a rare earth element (REE) bearing carbonatite. After an …
The fluorspar flotation concentrate is then processed by magnetic separation, resulting in the desired CaF 2 grade, while the reject fractions are sent back to the primary flowsheet circuit where the REE component is then recovered along with the bulk of the REEs.

Under this consideration, a concentrate must contain at least 20 oz/t of gold. Obviously, if the higher grades are better and 50 oz/t is a good average value. It is important to mention that a silver-gold concentrate obtained by flotation has a high silver content. For example a concentrate assaying 1400 oz/t Ag and 8 oz/t Au can be …
