colorless tetragonal crystals or powders. d 3. 148; Melting point of 1248 deg C; Boiling point of 2260 deg C; Mohs hardness 6. Soluble in nitric acid, slightly soluble in dilute acid, difficult to dissolve in water (18 ℃,87mg/L) and alcohol. Under the electro-optical heating, the weak purple fluorescence, the crystal has good polarization, especially suitable for ultraviolet and infrared spectra.
magnesite powder is added to excess hydrofluoric acid under stirring, and reacted at 90~95 °c to obtain magnesium fluoride, which is filtered, washed, and dried at about 105 °c, it was obtained after crushing.
a fluorescent material used as a cathode ray screen, an inverse refractive agent for an optical lens, and a solder. It is also a flux for the manufacture of ceramics, glass, magnesium and aluminum, and a coating for lenses and filters in optical instruments.
