Application
Additive used in the production of metallic aluminum.Aluminum fluoride(AlF3)is widely used as an additive in the production of electrolytic aluminum.
Aluminum fluoride is used in the aluminum electrolysis industry to reduce the melting temperature of electrolytes and increase electrical conductivity,as a flux for non-ferrous metals,as a flux and glaze component for ceramic and enamel glazes,and as an inhibitor of parafermentation in the production of essential oils.Used as an inhibitor in the production of alcohol for secondary fermentation.It is used for welding fluids in metal welding and for manufacturing optical lenses.
Aluminum Fluoride is widely used as an additive in the production of electrolytic aluminum.Used with cryolite,aluminum fluoride lowers the melting point to below 1000°C,forming a molten salt that dissolves in water.This molten solution is then electrolyzed to produce metallic aluminum.
Preparation Method
The hydrofluoric acid reacts with aluminum hydroxide at a high temperature to obtain aluminum fluoride trihydrate, which is then calcined and dehydrated to obtain anhydrous aluminum fluoride. Alternatively, each aluminum fluoride may be prepared from fluorite, sulfuric acid, and aluminum hydroxide.
Packing and Shipping:
Aluminum Fluoride is packaged in laminated plastic woven bag,lined with plastic film bag,25kg/50kg/1000kg each bag or according to customer requirements.
Aluminum Fluoride is shipped via land,sea,and air.
