In the flotation of fluorspar there is no standard procedure that oan be applied to all types of fluorspar ore. Because of variable amounts of different gangue minerals and the properties of fluorite present, each ore has its own characteristics. Consequently the procedure of treatment varies with eaoh ore.Web
