Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) |
|
Depending upon the pressure and temperature where it is being handled,
anhydrous fluoride (100% hydrofluoric acid) can be either a colorless,
fuming liquid or a colorless gas.
Glass and glass-lined piping will deteriorate rapidly if they are used
since moist HF attacks all silicates. Tantalum also is not suitable
for HF, although other materials capable of handling HCl can be used. |

Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is a fluorinating agent in organic and
inorganic reactions, and a catalyst in alkylation, isomerization,
condensation, dehydration and polymerization reactions. It also has
applications in the refining of uranium, the production of fluorine
and aluminum fluoride, and as an additive in liquid rocket propellants. |
