POTASSIUM HYDROGEN FLUORIDE - Nature
Open Data Verified Data
colorless square crystal. Melting point of 238.7 deg C; d 2. 37. Hydrogen fluoride is released by absorption of water in humid air. Soluble in water, solubility in water (g/lOOmL):30.1 (10 C)1 39.2 (20 C)1 114.0(80c). The aqueous solution is acidic, corrosive and highly irritating. Soluble in ethanol, but insoluble in anhydrous ethanol. Absorption of moisture or water will produce a large number of corrosive smoke. Toxic and corrosive flue gas is generated by high thermal decomposition.

Preparation of 2-fluoro sugars; Monofluorination of inorganic phosphates. |
| production method | potassium hydroxide method solid potassium hydroxide is dissolved in an equal amount of water in a neutralization tank, and then hydrofluoric acid (or anhydrous hydrofluoric acid) is used. The reaction proceeds to produce potassium fluoride. After filtration, it is acidified with hydrofluoric acid (or anhydrous hydrofluoric acid) in an acidifier while cooling with water. Control the pH value of 2~3. The reaction solution was cooled to 50 to 60 ° C., and then the crystals were cooled in a cooling tank. After centrifugal separation, drying at 170~200 deg C for 8H, prepared potassium hydrogen fluoride product. Its KOH HF → KF H2OKF HF → KHF2 |
