Six major uses of cryolite

Cryolite is a white crystalline mineral whose chemical name is sodium hexafluoroaluminate. In particular, the substance can dissolve aluminum so as to solve the problem of high melting point of aluminum oxide, non-conductivity and no electrolysis. Moreover, cryolite has the advantages of good stability, non-volatile and non-decomposing at room temperature, and good electrical conductivity, so it has good uses in many industries. The following editor briefly introduces the use of cryolite:
1. It is mainly used as a flux for aluminum electrolysis. Cryolite is lighter than aluminum in the molten state. The aluminum obtained by electrolysis sinks to the bottom of the tank, and cryolite floats on it, which plays a role in preventing aluminum from being oxidized by air.
     2. Wear-resistant fillers for rubber and grinding wheels can effectively improve the wear resistance of the grinding wheels and prolong the service life.
     3. Enamel emulsifier and glass opalizer and anti-reflective coating.
     4. Ferroalloy and other non-ferrous metal flux, deoxidizer for casting.
     5. Insecticides for crops.
     6. Alkene polymerization catalyst.
