Fluorite-raw-materials,-fluorite-powder
We provide a solution and quotation analysis for upgrading low-grade fluorite (50-60% CaF₂) to acid-grade fluorite (typically requiring CaF₂ > 97%) processing production lines.
I. Needs Analysis Summary
Based on your description, we understand you need:
1. Raw material: Metallurgical-grade fluorite, 50-60% CaF₂, maximum particle size 80mm.
2. Target product: Acid-grade fluorite (used in hydrofluoric acid production).
3. Processing capacity: 100 tons per day (approximately 30,000 tons per year based on 300 working days).
4. Scope of delivery: A complete processing production line, from crushing, grinding, beneficiation (flotation), dewatering to drying and packaging.

II. Overview of Acid-Grade Fluorite Processing Flow
The purification of low-grade fluorite into acid-grade fluorite typically requires the following core processes:
1. Crushing and screening: Crushing the 80mm raw material to a suitable grinding particle size (e.g., -15mm).
2. Grinding and Classification: To fully liberate fluorite from gangue minerals.
3. Flotation Purification:
• Roughing, scavenging, and multiple cleaning processes (usually 5-7 times).
• Use of flotation reagents (inhibitors, collectors, pH adjusters).
4. Dewatering and Drying:
• Concentration and filtration (to obtain filter cake).
• Drying (if low moisture content is required, dry to <0.5%).
5. Packaging and Storage: Packaging according to customer requirements (e.g., ton bags or small bags).
III. Preliminary Plan and Quotation Range
Note: The following is an estimate based on the Chinese equipment and engineering market. The final quotation will be determined based on detailed technical requirements, equipment selection, level of automation, and site conditions.
1. Main Equipment List for the Production Line
| Process | Main Equipment | Remarks |
| Crushing | Jaw Crusher, Cone Crusher | Two-stage crushing to -15mm |
| Grinding | Ball Mill, Spiral Classifier/Hydrocyclone | Grinding to -200 mesh (over 85%) |
| Flotation | Flotation Machine (Roughing, Cleaning, Scavenging) |
Includes reagent preparation and addition system |
| Dewatering | Thickener, Plate and Frame Filter Press | |
| Drying | Rotary Dryer/Airflow Dryer | Depending on energy source (Gas/Electric) |
| Auxiliary Equipment | Pumps, Fans, Dust Collectors, Electrical Control, Laboratory Equipment |
2. Investment Estimate (For Reference Only)
| Item | Cost Range (USD) | Description |
| Equipment Purchase Cost | Approx. 800,000 - 1,200,000 | Includes main equipment, auxiliary equipment, and electrical control |
| Installation and Engineering | Approx. 200,000 - 300,000 | Installation, piping, cables, foundations, etc. |
| Technical Services | Approx. 100,000 - 150,000 | Design, commissioning, training, reagent formulation |
| Total Estimate | Approx. 1,100,000 - 1,650,000 | Excluding plant, civil engineering, and working capital |
Notes:
• The price is significantly affected by equipment brand (Chinese domestic/international brand), automation level, environmental requirements, and energy type.
• Transportation, customs duties, and local taxes are not included (subject to assessment based on Pakistani policies).
• The production line occupies approximately 1500-2000 m², with a power requirement of approximately 500-600 kW.
IV. Next Steps
To provide an accurate solution and quote, we need to further understand the following information:
1. Detailed characteristics of raw materials:
• Content of impurities such as SiO₂, CaCO₃, S, and P, excluding CaF₂.
• Ore hardness, moisture content, clay content, etc.
2. Product Requirements:
• Target grade (typically, acid-grade fluorite requires CaF₂ ≥ 97%, SiO₂ ≤ 1%, CaCO₃ ≤ 1%).
• Product particle size, moisture content, and packaging method.
3. Site Conditions:
• Plant space, power supply (voltage/frequency), water source, and energy type (natural gas/diesel/electricity).
4. Other Requirements:
• Automation level (fully automatic/semi-automatic), environmental standards, and construction period requirements.
V. Our Service Commitment
If you can provide more information, we can:
1. Provide detailed process flow diagrams and equipment layout diagrams.
2. Arrange sample testing (samples can be sent to our laboratory for beneficiation testing).
3. Customize flotation reagent formulations and process parameters based on test results.
4. Provide detailed FOB/CIF Karachi port quotations.
5. Arrange for a technical team to visit Karachi (if required).
