Fluorosilicates

Sodium fluorosilicate Na2SiF6 and potassium fluorosilicate K2SiFg are poorly water soluble (in cold water about 0.6% for the sodium salt, and only 0.12% for the potassium salt). Their solutions provoke superficial pitting corrosion. In saturated solutions, and at a temperature close to the boiling point, a black protective film that adheres well to the surface is formed. 

Sodium fluorosilicate is used as an inhibitor in sodium carbonate solutions. 

Latex coagulation is achieved in the presence of sodium fluorosilicate. This operation can be carried out in aluminium vessels they will mm black, but will not be attacked.

Fluorosilicate Fusion. The fusion reaction of milled zircon with potassium hydrogen fluoride was used to prepare potassium hexafluorozirconate [16923-95-8] for studies leading to the first separation of hafnium and zirconium (30). Similar reactions using potassium hexafluorosihcate have been used (31,32) commercially in the United States and the former USSR ... 

Liquid Dispersion Spray columns are used with slurries or when the reaction product is a solid. The absorption of SO9 by a hme slurry is an example. In the treatment of phosphate rock with sulfuric acid, offgases contain HF and SiF4. In a spray column with water, solid particles of fluorosilic acid are formed but do not harm the spray operation. The coefficient /cl in spray columns is about the same as in packed columns, but the spray interfacial area is much lower. Considerable backmixing of the gas also takes place, which helps to make the spray volumetri-caUy inefficient. Deentrainment at the outlet usually is needed.

Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid react with substances containing silica and silicon oxide to form silicon tetrafluoridc and fluorosilic acid. SiF, a colorless gas at ambient temperature, is liighly toxic. An equilibrium mixture of SiF in the presence of moisture also contains hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid. 

The most effective of the proposed solutions seem to be solutions of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2C03. Such solutions were also recommended by Mulyarchuk and Panchenko [500] for the decomposition of potassium fluorosilicate, K2SiF6. 

Discussion. The determination of this anion is of little practical importance. The methods available for its determination will, however, be outlined. Alkali fluorosilicates are decomposed by heating with sodium carbonate solution into a fluoride and silicic acid ... 

Insoluble fluorosilicates are brought into solution by fusion with four times the bulk of fusion mixture, and extracting the melt with water. In either case, the solution is treated with a considerable excess of ammonium carbonate, warmed to 40 °C, and, after standing for 12 hours, the precipitated silicic acid is filtered off, and washed with 2 per cent ammonium carbonate solution. The filtrate contains a little silicic acid, which may be removed by shaking with a little freshly precipitated cadmium oxide. The fluoride in the filtrate is determined as described in Section 11.59. 

If an acid solution of a fluorosilicate is rendered faintly alkaline with aqueous sodium hydroxide and then shaken with freshly precipitated cadmium oxide, all the silicic acid is adsorbed by the suspension. The alkali fluoride is then determined in the filtrate. 

Essentially all allylsilanes (M = SiR3, Section D.l.3.3.3.5.) with the exception of fluorosil-iconates11 and most of the trialkyl(allyl)stannancs (Section D.l. 3.3.3.6.), which have only very weak Lewis acidic properties, require a strong Lewis acid to trigger the reaction with a carbonyl compound by the preceding formation of an x-oxycarbenium ion, which attacks the allylic compound in an ionic open-chain pathway. These Lewis acid catalyzed carbonyl additions offer new possibilities for the control of the simple and induced diastereoselectivity12. 

A solution of Pd(OAc)2 (0.05 mmol) and bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (0.05 mmol) in acetonitrile (1 ml) was heated gently to reflux, at which time a solution of the silyl enol ether (1 mmol) and diallyl carbonate (2 mmol) in MeCN (4 ml) was added in one portion. The mixture was heated under reflux for 1-3 h, the course of reaction being monitored by t.l.c. or g.l.c. analysis. On completion, the cooled reaction solution was filtered through fluorosil. The pure a/ -unsaturated compound was isolated by column chromatography on silica gel (70-95%).
