While this approach can efficiently remove CaCO3 from fluorite concentrate, the SiO2 content, which significantly affects AHF consumption during the production of HF or aluminum fluoride, cannot be completely removed. To solve this problem, in this study, we used reverse flotation before leaching the fluorite concentrates.
