Hydrogen fluoride is typically produced by the reaction between sulfuric acid and pure grades of the mineral fluorite: [14] CaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → 2 HF + CaSO 4. About 20% of manufactured HF is a byproduct of fertilizer production, which generates hexafluorosilicic acid. This acid can be degraded to release HF thermally and by hydrolysis: H 2 SiF ...
Hydrofluoric acid is a solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in water. Solutions of HF are colorless, acidic and highly corrosive . A common concentration is 49% (48-52%) but there are also stronger solutions (e.g. 70%) and pure HF has a boiling point near room temperature.

Potassium fluoroborate is obtained by treating potassium carbonate with boric acid and hydrofluoric acid. B(OH) 3 + 4 HF → HBF 4 + 3 H 2 O 2 HBF 4 + K 2 CO 3 → 2 KBF 4 + H 2 CO 3. Fluoroborates of alkali metals and ammonium ions crystallize as water-soluble hydrates with the exception of potassium, rubidium, and cesium.
The reaction is shown below: CsOH + HF → CsF + H 2 O. Using the same reaction, another way to create caesium fluoride is to treat caesium carbonate (Cs 2 CO 3) with hydrofluoric acid and again, the resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. The reaction is shown below: Cs 2 CO 3 + 2 HF → 2 CsF + H 2 O + CO 2
Antimony pentafluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula Sb F 5.This colourless, viscous liquid is a strong Lewis acid and a component of the superacid fluoroantimonic acid, formed upon mixing liquid HF with liquid SbF 5 in 1:1 ratio.
The anhydrous salt can be prepared by reaction of ferrous chloride with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. [12] It is slightly soluble in water (with solubility product K sp = 2.36×10 −6 at 25 °C) [13] as well as dilute hydrofluoric acid, giving a pale green solution. [1]
Buffered oxide etch (BOE), also known as buffered HF or BHF, is a wet etchant used in microfabrication.It is a mixture of a buffering agent, such as ammonium fluoride NH 4 F, and hydrofluoric acid (HF).
