Acid-grade fluorspar, containing 97 percent or greater of calcium fluoride, is the primary source of fluorine in consumer products and manufacturing processes. Metallurgical grade fluorspar, containing less than 97 percent calcium fluoride, is primarily used as a flux in steelmaking and in the manufacture of cement.

The majority of the world's anhydrous hydrofluoric acid (AHF) production plants uses acid grade fluorspar. Only a minor percentage uses the economically advantageous process with fluorosilicic acid (FSA) as a raw material. * Corresponding author. Tel.: +41 61 825 65 87; fax: +41 61 825 67 37
