About Hydrogen Fluoride. Hydrogen Fluoride (a.k.a. HF, Fluorane) is a colorless to brown liquid or gas. It is soluble in water forming hydrofluoric acid. It is widely used as a component of superacids in the petrochemical industry. Hydrogen fluoride is highly dangerous because when in contact with moisture, it forms hydrofluoric acid which is very corrosive and can cause blindness.
Hydrogen Fluoride is conveyed by rail, road, and sea. Air transport is available for Hydrogen Fluoride aqueous solutions, and prohibited for the anhydrous form of this substance. Steel containers with rubber lining are recommended for storage and transportation of both anhydrous and the solution form of the chemical. Hydrogen fluoride must be stored in cool, dry, and ventilated areas away from the sun's rays.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Hydrogen Fluoride are listed below.
- Fluorspar + sulfuric acid (acidification)
The uses and applications of Hydrogen Fluoride may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Hydrogen Fluoride are gas (99.9 wt % purity); aqueous solution (38%, 47%, or 70% HF).
