Introduction | Cobalt fluoride is the most widely used catalyst in the production of fluorocarbon products, it is difficult to solidify and form, and Cobalt fluoride is easy to deliquesce, so it has a certain effect on the yield. |
synthesis method | 1. Prepared by the reaction of cobalt carbonate and anhydrous hydrofluoric acid; 2, it can also be prepared by the reaction of cobalt chloride and hydrofluoric acid, the chemical equation is: CoCl2 2HF → CoF2 2HCl The crystallized cobalt chloride (CoCl2 · 2H2O) is put into the glass tube, heating in a stream of HCl dehydrates it completely (200 °c), and a color change from Rose to blue indicates conversion to Anhydrous cobalt chloride. Anhydrous cobalt chloride was rapidly pulverized and then filled into a fluorite boat, which was put into an iron pipe, and the iron pipe was heated to 300 ° C. And introduced with anhydrous HF thereto until no more HCl gas was released at the end of the pipe. After completion of the reaction, nitrogen was introduced into the iron pipe to drive out the excess HF. |
Application | Cobalt fluoride is an inorganic metal compound that can be used as a catalyst. |
Use | 1, used as organic fluoride agent and cobalt trifluoride; 2, used as a catalyst for organic reactions |
