Aluminium production – used to produce aluminium fluoride (ALF3) which acts as a flux to lower the bath temperature in the manufacture of aluminium.

Chemical industry to manufacture hydrofluoric acid (HF), the primary source of all fluorochemicals (the single largest consumer of fluorspar), the HF is then used to manufacture a variety of products which include: fluorocarbon chemicals, refrigerants and a variety fluoride chemicals. Other application further downstream are:

·         Fluorocarbons, e.g. refrigerant gases, propellants, etc

·         Electrical and electronic appliances

·         Lithium batteries

·         Pharmaceuticals, polymers and agrochemicals

·         Petrochemical catalysts

·         electronic and electrical equipment
