Scientists obtain fluorine through the electrolysis of molten potassium fluoride, KF, mixed with calcium fluoride, CaF2, known as fluorspar. Fluorine gas is produced at the anode while potassium and calcium are produced at the cathode. The fluorine gas can then be collected and purified for use in various applications.
