Introduction	potassium fluoride is a salt, also known as potassium fluoride, which is a white monoclinic crystal or crystalline powder, salty, easy to absorb moisture, soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol. Its aqueous solution is alkaline and can corrode glass and porcelain, so it is usually used as a variety of glass etching, welding flux, wood preservative, agricultural pesticides, pesticide intermediates, pharmaceutical industry raw materials and organic fluorinated raw materials, in the construction, chemical industry, agriculture has an indispensable role.
application field	potassium fluoride is still one of the most commonly used fluorinating agents, and it can be said that there is no vigorous development of fluorine chemical industry without potassium fluoride. And potassium fluoride as the most important period of the reaction activity of the fluoride agent, as a fluoride agent, especially in the production and application of fine chemicals, high activity potassium fluoride has the incomparable advantages of ordinary anhydrous potassium fluoride.
sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride	Both sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride are white crystals having a rock salt type structure. Sodium fluoride is relatively insoluble in water (100 ° C., 5g/92.3 ml of water), while potassium fluoride has strong hygroscopicity and is very soluble in water (g/g of water at 18 ° C.). Potassium fluoride has dihydrate (mp41 °c) and tetrahydrate (mp19.3 °c). sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride, unlike other alkali metal halide salts (e. G., sodium chloride), are alkaline and easily undergo an addition reaction with hydrogen fluoride to form acid salts. sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride can be separately with sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, according to the calculated amount of hydrofluoric acid neutralization can be made, if the hydrofluoric acid excess, acid salts (sodium fluoride acid NaHF2 or potassium fluoride acid KHF2) are brought in. K2CO3 2HF → 2KF H2O CO2 KF HF → KHF2. sodium fluoride is prepared industrially by reacting sodium fluorosilicate with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Na2SiF6 6NaOH → 6NaF Na2SiO3 3H2O sodium fluoride is the most inexpensive fluorinated alkali metal, and hydrogen fluoride can be used to form acid salts, it is used as an adsorbent for hydrogen fluoride in the atomic energy industry and other fields. potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride are more easily dissociated in various solvents. Since fluoride ions (F-) are easily formed, they can be used as fluorinating agents for organic compounds, in particular as fluorinating agents for halide exchange processes. RCl kf→rf KCl recently, potassium fluoride has been gradually used as a condensing agent in organic reactions by taking advantage of the strong binding strength of fluoride ions and hydrogen ions.
potassium hydrogen fluoride	potassium hydrogen fluoride, also referred to as "potassium fluorohydride", "potassium acid fluoride", and "potassium fluoride", is an acid salt of hydrofluoric acid. Chemical formula khf2. Molecular weight 78.11. Colorless equiaxed crystal system, easy deliquescence. Toxic! The relative density is 2.369g/cm3. Soluble in hot water, soluble in potassium acetate, insoluble in anhydrous ethanol. The aqueous solution is acidic and strongly corrodes glass and ceramics. It decomposes when heated to about 225 °c. Hydrogen fluoride is released by absorption of moisture in moist air. preparation method: potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate is reacted with a sufficient amount of hydrofluoric acid, or hydrofluoric acid is added to a saturated potassium fluoride solution, and the pH at the end point is controlled to be 2 to 3. Application: fluorine can be obtained from electrolytically melted potassium hydrogen fluoride. Industrial for the production of fluorine and fluoride, engraving glass, also used as masking agent, metallurgical flux, preservatives. This information was edited by chemical book Xiaonan (2015-08-17).

production method	solid potassium hydroxide is dissolved in an equal amount of water in the neutralization tank by neutralization method, and then anhydrous hydrofluoric acid (or 40% hydrofluoric acid) is introduced. When Ph = 7~8, stop using anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and settle at rest for 24h. The resulting clear solution (containing about 40% of potassium fluoride) sent to a vacuum evaporator for vacuum concentration (pressure of 79993), when the solution contains most of the crystals, then filtered (pressure of 0.2~0.3 Mpa), dry under vacuum (pressure 79993) for 6h to obtain a finished potassium fluoride. Its KOH + HF → KF + H2O
