Description

Calcium fluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula CaF2. It is a colourless insoluble solid. It occurs as the mineral fluorite (also called fluorspar), which is often deeply coloured owing to impurities. The mineral fluorite is abundant, widespread, and mainly of interest as a precursor to HF.

Hydrogen fluoride is liberated from the mineral by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid:

CaF2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4(solid) + 2 HF
