What are the differences in properties and applications between artificial cryolite and natural cryolite

Chemical name: Sodium hexafluoroaluminate, also known as artificial cryolite or synthetic cryolite, is a colored powder widely used in the electrolytic aluminum industry. It is also used in industries such as grinding wheels, abrasives, steelmaking, glass, ceramic casting, accelerator, copper casting, steelmaking, rubber, pesticides, etc.

There is no essential difference between artificial cryolite and natural cryolite, and there is no significant difference in their composition and function. Natural cryolite is produced less and most of it has already been mined. Due to the importance of cryolite in the production of electrolytic I industry, fluorite is now mostly used to synthesize cryolite for I industry use, which we call "artificial cryolite".

Artificial cryolite is actually a type of cryolite synthesized artificially for industrial production. Natural cryolite is extracted from natural minerals, but their cryolite products do not have essential differences in composition and function. Therefore, artificial cryolite and natural cryolite are the same products, only obtained in different ways.
