Useful:

• Description: Cryolite is an uncommon mineral salt of sodium, fluoride and aluminum that was first discovered on the west coast of Greenland. The supply was depleted by 1987, and synthetic cryolite is now produced from the common mineral fluorite. Cryolite is used at very high application rates of 5-30 kg/ha to control Lepidoptera and Coleoptera on certain fruits, vegetables and citrus. 92% of total cryolite applied in the U.S. is used on grapes in California.
• Uses: Cryolite is commonly used as an electrolyte for aluminum electrolysis. Alumina is dissolved in molten cryolite is used to dissolve alumina during aluminium processing. Electrolyte in the reduction of alumina to aluminum; ceramics; insecticide; binder for abrasives; electric insulation; explosives; polishes.
