Uses of Flurospar
Fluorspar is used in the smelting of aluminium and steel, wherein it is employed as a flux. It has the ability to lower the melting point of some minerals which has made it a valuable commodity in the processing of various metals.
Specialised glasses, lenses and optical components for both personal and industrial use rely on fluorspar. Its low refractivity index and high transparency in the UV and IR ranges are what make it particularly attractive to these industries.
During the 19th century it was discovered that fluorspar would fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This discovery played a vital role in the eventual development of fluorescent lighting.
During the 20th century it was discovered that fluoride could have an important role to play in dental health. As a result, many parts of the world began adding fluoride to public water supplies. A process that continues to this day.
