A solution of HF in water is known as hydrofluoric acid. This acid is highly corrosive. HF is the principal industrial source of fluorine and a precursor to many important compounds, including pharmaceuticals and polymers such as Teflon. Hydrogen fluoride is on both the hazardous air pollutant and toxic substance lists released by the EPA.

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a dangerous inorganic acid that is used widely in the chemical industries, electronics manufacturing, glass etching, smelting, cleaning, and other industrial fields [1–3]. It exists in two forms: in a purified form (>99%), called anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, and in a dilute form, called aqueous hydrofluoric acid [4].

As an acid, HF will readily protonate water, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and other organic solutes having unshared pairs of electrons. Because the tendency for oxidation of fluoride to fluorine is very low, many inorganic and organic compounds can be fluorinated by the electrochemical insertion of F − using the HF solvent system.

2023年10月15日 · HF acid sensing characteristics have been analyzed by using the SNFET sensor. Fig. 4 a shows the sensing mechanism of HF acid with the TISAB solution in the SNFET sensor. The diluted HF acid solutions were prepared by mixing the undiluted HF acid (HF, 49 %) with ultra-high purity (UHP) water, then the solution was mixed with TISAB solution.

Hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is a corrosive that is commonly used in industrial applications. It is used as a cleaning agent in the petroleum industry, in the production of high-octane fuel, glass etching, germicides, dyes, tanning, and fireproofing material, as well as in rust removal. 14 Hydrofluoric acid is particularly lethal owing to its properties both as an acid and as a ...

From a chemistry perspective, HF is the inorganic acid of elemental fluorine (Özcan et al., 2012). Hydrogen fluoride is produced by the reaction of calcium fluoride (CaF 2) and sulfuric acid. HF solutions can be formed when fluoride salts are acidified with acidic solutions. As it is a weak acid, hydrogen fluoride in water for instance is not ...

2016年8月1日 · At low concentration, hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid, but at high concentrations, the HF molecules in hydrofluoric acid solution associate to form nHF molecules via hydrogen bonds. Thus, a HF solution can become a strong acid (Ryss, 1960, Gordievskii et al., 1963). n H F ↔ H + + H n − 1 F n − where, at 25 °C, when n equals 1 or 2, the ...

2022年11月1日 · The effect of heat treatment (HT) on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Monel 400 alloy in hydrofluoric acid (HF) vapor was investigated through cracking crystallographic analysis. The SCC resistance is ordered as 750 °C-HT > AR > 850 °C-HT > 950 °C-HT > 1050 °C-HT, while the SCC failure mechanism is similar which is active dissolution ...

2023年1月1日 · However, HF acid etching of vitreous ceramics may negatively affect the mechanical properties of the material. The etching time and HF acid concentration may influence the shape and size of the resulting surface defects and affect both the adhesion and mechanical behavior as a consequence [15, 16].

2020年1月1日 · The authors [60] specified in the text that this value corresponded to the dissolution in the acid with w(HF) = 0.19, however, the reported thermochemical equations implied w(HF) = 0.20. In this work, we adopt w(HF) = 0.19. The uncertainty for w(HF) increases U(Δ sol H° m) from 0.17 kJ⋅mol −1 to about 0.35 kJ⋅mol −1. The enthalpy of ...
