Abstract: In order to obtain highquality rare earth and fluorite concentrate,in view of the problem of mutual interference in the separation process,the research results of scholars in recent years were systematically reviewed,focusing on the separation process of the two and the research of flotation reagents.In the separation process,the single and combined separation processes are summarized separately; in the flotation reagents,the application and research progress of flotation collectors,inhibitors,and activators are mainly discussed.On this basis,the key point of separation technology of rare earth and fluorite and development of flotation reagents are expounded.

Key words: Rare earth, Fluorite, Separation
