Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a fine-ground fluorspar in briquette form in which the fine-ground fluorspar is intimately mixed with from 0.5 to 6% by weight of molasses after which the mixture is further mixed with from 0.5 to 5% by weight of cement at room temperature and the resultant mixture is compressed into briquettes.
