Last post from the two hours digging into Fluorspar - uses include :METSpar (<97% CaF2)
- Uses:
- Iron & Steel Casting: Enhances mold fluidity and helps reduce slag.
- Steelmaking: Acts as a flux to remove impurities and improve slag fluidity, which improves steel quality.
Acidspar (>97% CaF2)
- Uses:
- Glassmaking: Increases the strength and durability of glass products.
- Hydrofluoric Acid (HF): Central to many industrial processes, including:
- Fluorocarbons Production: Key in refrigerants and propellants manufacturing.
- HCFCs and HFCs: Include HCFC-123, HCFC-124, and HFC-134a among others, used in air conditioning and refrigeration for their lower ozone-depleting potential.
- Polymers: CTFE-VDF, PVDF for coatings, films, and pipes due to their chemical resistance.
- Specialty Gases: FC-14, FC-116 for electronics cleaning and processing.
- Petroleum Alkylation: HF acts as a catalyst in producing high-octane petroleum derivatives.
- Metal Pickling: Cleans metal surfaces by removing oxides and scales.
- Aluminium Fluoride Production: From HF, crucial in aluminum smelting as a flux.
- Other Chemical Derivatives: Including uses in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
- Advanced Fluoropolymers:
- TFE: Tetrafluoroethylene, the monomer for PTFE.
- PFA, FEP, PTFE: Used in applications requiring high chemical resistance and thermal stability.
- E-TFE and E-CTFE: Ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymers for wire insulation and films.
These applications demonstrate the critical role of fluorspar and its derivatives in a wide range of industrial processes and products, from basic materials like steel and glass to advanced polymers and refrigerants that support modern technologies and industries.
