https://phys.org/news/2023-07-nature-breakthrough-hazard-free-production-fluorochemicals.html

"bypass hazardous hydrogen fluoride... inspiration from natural biomineralization process forms teeth and bones... biomineralization‑inspired activitation... ball-milled CaF2 with powdered potassium phosphate salt several hours... Fluoromix enable synthesis >50 fluorochemicals from CaF2, 98% yield... decrease energy .. X-ray diffraction... as effective with acid grade fluorspar (> 97%, CaF2) as it with synthetic CaF2... CaF2 for fluorination"
