preparation method | 1, fluosilicic acid-soda ash method a, two-step method step 1, NH4HCO3 was reacted with H2SiF6 to form NH4F solution and SiO2 precipitate. The reaction scheme is as follows: H2SiF6 +6NH4HCO3 → SiO2 + 6NH4F +6CO2 ++ + H2O In the second step, NaF is prepared by reacting Na2CO3 with NH4F solution. The reaction scheme is as follows: 2NH4F + Na2CO3 → 2NaF +(NH4)2CO3 B, one-step The process flow of one-step production of sodium fluoride from fluosilicic acid is as follows: The reaction equation is as follows: H2SiF6(l)+3 Na2CO3(l)+(x-1) H2O(l)→ SiO2 • xH2O(s) + 6NaF(s) +3CO2(g) The specific process is as follows: the molar ratio of soda ash to fluorosilicic acid is n(Na2CO3)/n(H2SiF6)= 6.0, the reaction temperature was 90~95 ℃, and the reaction time was 90~40 ℃ ~ 120 min, the solution pH was 5.0~5.5. The products produced by this process have good appearance and good quality. Raw materials are mostly sodium fluosilicate, a by-product of a phosphate fertilizer plant, which is low in price and easy to purchase. The chemical reaction in the production process is mild, and the corrosion problem of the equipment is much smaller than that of the previous methods. When the process conditions are well controlled, the quality of silica is close to that of white carbon black, which can be sold as low-grade white carbon black. "Three wastes" emissions, in addition to carbon dioxide gas escape, no other waste water and solid waste discharge, is an environment-friendly production process. This process is also the main process for the production of sodium fluoride in China. 2. Ammonium fluoride soda ash method after dissolving soda ash and ammonium fluoride respectively, mix them in proportion, heat the mixture, raise the temperature to 300 ° C., and stir until the ammonia is removed. The reaction formula is as follows: Na2CO3 + 2NH4F → 2NaF + CO2 ++ 2NH3 The advantage of this process is that the process is simple, and the biggest disadvantage is that the production cost is too high, at present, the price of ammonium fluoride is much higher than that of sodium fluoride. 3. Leaching method This method is the earliest production method of sodium fluoride. That is, fluorite, soda ash and quartz sand are calcined at high temperature (~ 900 ℃), then leached with water, and then evaporated, crystallized and dried to obtain the finished product. Chemical reaction formula: CaF2 + Na2CO3 + SiO2 → NaF + CaSiO3 + CO2 The process flow of this method is shown as follows: This process requires low raw materials, and the raw materials are cheap. But the production cost of the product is not low, the main reason is that the process has the following disadvantages: 1) the reaction of the material is incomplete, the yield is not high; 2) the solubility of sodium fluoride in water is very small, and with the temperature change is not big, resulting in leaching rate is very low; 3) high calcination temperature, resulting in hard sintered block, not easy to crush, also cause leaching difficulties; 4) energy consumption is too high, lead to high production costs; 5) the production process of environmental pollution. The law has been basically eliminated. 4. Hydrofluoric acid neutralization method hydrofluoric acid neutralization method is sodium fluoride prepared by neutralizing hydrofluoric acid with soda ash or caustic soda. The production process is as follows: hydrofluoric acid with a mass fraction of 40% is added to the lead-made reaction kettle, and then soda ash or caustic soda solution is slowly added to neutralize until the reaction solution is neutral. Then the product is obtained by crystallization, centrifugal dehydration and drying. The reaction formula is: Na2CO3 + 2HF → 2NaF + H2O + CO2 The Process Flow is as follows: neutralization method is also a commonly used method, is a more mature process. The process is simple and the product quality is stable. However, there is a serious problem of equipment corrosion, so the requirements for the material of the equipment are very high. Neutralization method using hydrofluoric acid or hydrogen fluoride as raw material, the production cost is higher, at this stage has been lack of market competitiveness. 5. Ion exchange method sodium fluoride is prepared by treating a sodium ion exchange column with hydrofluoric acid. 6. Improvement method of fluosilicic acid: (1) Ammonium bicarbonate reacts with fluosilicic acid to form NH4F solution and SiO2 precipitate. The reaction scheme is as follows: H2SiF6 +6NH4HCO3 → 6NH4F + SiO2 ↓ +6CO2 ++ 4H2O SiO2 White Carbon Black by-product is obtained by washing and drying; NH4F solution is used to produce sodium fluoride. (2) preparation of NaF there are two ways to prepare NaF from NH4F solution: one is the reaction of sodium carbonate with NH4F, that is, the ammonium fluoride soda ash method; The other is the reaction of sodium chloride with NH4F, it may be referred to as the ammonium fluoride salt method. The reaction formulas of the two methods are as follows: 2NH4F + Na2CO3 → 2NaF +(NH4)2CO3 NH4F + NaCl → NaF + NH4Cl The preparation process is as follows: 7. Phosphorus fertilizer by-product fluorosilicic acid ammonification method This technology is pollution-free, clean process production, full cycle of process water, suitable for production of sodium fluoride products after treatment of fluorine-containing tail gas in phosphate fertilizer plant. The chemical reaction formula is as follows: H2SiF6 +6NH3 + 2H2O → 6NH4F + SiO2 ↓, NH4F + NaOH → NaF ↓ + NH3 + H2O. The process flow diagram is as follows: |
pharmacological effects | 1. Fluoride ions bind to apatite crystals of teeth and bones to stabilize them and adhere to the enamel surface, increase the ability of anti-acid and anti-caries. It can directly act on bone cells, stimulate osteoblast proliferation and intracellular enzyme activity, and promote new bone formation, but mainly increase cancellous bone weight. In addition, it is also possible to combine with the crystals of the bone hydroxyphosphate to replace its hydroxyl groups to form more stable inorganic salts that are not easily dissolved and absorbed. Fluoride can make decalcification or calcification of incomplete enamel remineralization, enamel and bone firmness, calcium and phosphorus utilization are very important. 2. In the treatment of oral plaque, fluoride can inhibit cariogenic bacteria and has significant anti-caries effect. Fluoride can change the ecological environment of the oral cavity, which is not conducive to the growth of bacteria. It can also inhibit and affect the glycolysis process of bacteria, and affect the synthesis of intracellular and extracellular polysaccharides. Fluoride can inhibit the enzymatic hydrolysis of sugars by several ways. In the process of enzymatic hydrolysis of sugar, enolase can convert the intermediate 2-phosphate glycerol into phosphoenolpyruvate and then generate pyruvate, which is reduced to lactic acid. Enolase is very sensitive to fluorine, and a small amount of fluorine can inhibit its activity. Once enolase is inhibited, the conversion of phosphate pyruvate will be inhibited, and the acid production process will be terminated. 3. Fluoride can inhibit the uptake of glucose by bacteria, thus affecting the synthesis of intracellular polysaccharide and extracellular polysaccharide. Intracellular polysaccharides provide nutrients and energy sources for bacterial metabolism. Extracellular polysaccharides act as a matrix of plaque, and their synthesis is inhibited, which inhibits the formation of plaque. Fluoride can also inhibit the acid production ability of bacteria. |
pharmacokinetics | fluoride salts dissolved in solution or rapidly dissolved are easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, after entering the body and stored in the bones and growing teeth, through the kidney by urinary excretion.

Toxicity Mechanism | 1. It can induce apoptosis, such as apoptosis of Leydig cells. 2. It can induce apoptosis of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. 3. It can inhibit Bcl-2 cell proliferation and induce apoptosis by regulating THP-1 mRNA expression and inhibiting α-naphthol acetate esterase activity. 4, can induce the apoptosis of CHL cells, and with the increase of the dose, the induction effect is enhanced. 5, does not cause CHL cell chromosome aberration, but will make L5178Y TK /-3.7.2c cell micronucleus rate increased significantly, these may be due to the high tolerance of L5178Y TK /-3.7.2c cells to the cytotoxicity of mutagens, while the relatively low tolerance to the cytotoxicity of mutagens in CHL cells is due to cell chromatin concentration, the DNA is destroyed and fails to undergo normal division to exhibit apoptosis. |
