Hydrogen fluoride liquid

Nitrosyl chloride [55], nitrosyl fluoride-hydrogen fluoride liquid complexes (NOF3HF, NOF 6HF) [56], nitrous acid-hydrogen fluoride solutions [57, 5 ] nitrogen trioxide (prepared in situ from nitric oxide and oxygen) [59] and rert-butyl nitrite-hydrogen fluoride-pyndine [60] have been substituted for sodium nitrite in the diazotization step... 

Glycosyl fluorides have also been prepared by treatment of per-O-acyl or partially 0-acylated sugars with hydrogen fluoride [liquid HF (for example, see Refs. 38 and 39) or HF in acetic acid or dichloromethane], as exemplified by 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-a-D-xylopyranosyl (18), a-D-glucopyranosyl (19), tetra-O-pivaloyl-a-D-glucopyranosyl (20), and 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-D-xylofur-anosyl fluorides (21) (see Table 1). Frequently, HF treatment - leads to... 

The technique commercially used for this process is a rapid agitation of two liquid phases, one essentially hydrogen fluoride and one essentially hydrocarbon. The reaction apparently takes place rapidly at the liquid-liquid interface. Reaction also takes place in either of the liquid phases but at a much slower rate. With aromatic compounds reaction takes place rapidly and homogeneously in either a hydrocarbon liquid phase or a hydrogen fluoride liquid phase. 

Some liquids other than water can serve as ionizing solvents, with the power of dissolving electrolytes to give electrically conducting solutions. These liquids include hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen fluoride, liquid am-... 

Liquid hydrogen fluoride, liquid water, and liquid ammonia all have relatively high specific heats for such small molecules. Speculate as to why this might be so. 

Cations like that present in (iv) exist in solutions of aromatic hydrocarbons in trifluoroacetic acid containing boron trifluoride, and in liquid hydrogen fluoride containing boron trifluoride. Sulphuric acid is able to protonate anthracene at a mero-position to give a similar cation. ... 

Properties. Antimony pentafluoride [7783-70-2], SbF, is a colorless, hygroscopic, very viscous liquid that fumes ia air. Its viscosity at 20°C is 460 mPa-s(=cP) which is very close to the value for glycerol. The polymerization of high purity SbF at ambient temperature can be prevented by addition of 1% anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, which can be removed by distillation prior to the use of SbF. The pure product melts at 7°C (11), boils at 142.7°C,... 

Olefins are carbonylated in concentrated sulfuric acid at moderate temperatures (0—40°C) and low pressures with formic acid, which serves as the source of carbon monoxide (Koch-Haaf reaction) (187). Liquid hydrogen fluoride, preferably in the presence of boron trifluoride, is an equally good catalyst and solvent system (see Carboxylic acids). 

Highly irritating and poisonous Very soluble in water. Liquid liberates heat as it dissolves in water. The entrapment of water in an anhydrous hydrogen fluoride cylinder can cause rapid generation of heat and pressure which can lead to an explosion. Containers should never be heated to >52°C. A liquid hydrogen fluoride spill area should not be entered unless protective clothing (impervious to the compound) and a self-contained gas mask are worn Fumes in air... 

Mercury, chlorine, calcium hypochlorite, iodine, bromine or hydrogen fluoride Acids, metal powders, flammable liquids, chlorates, nitrites, sulphur, finely-divided organics or combustibles Nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide... 

The addition of hydrogen fluoride to acetylene has been widely investigated because the initial product, vinyl fluoride, is a commercially important monomer Acetylene reacts with hydrogen fluoride in the liquid phase in the absence of catalyst to give vinyl fluoride and 1,1 -ditluoroethane in modest yields [7 ], but better results are achieved by conducting the addition with various additives or catalysts...

An alternative route to the reaction of mercuric fluoride with fluoroolefins in liquid hydrogen fluoride [154] was developed during the early and middle 1970s This improved method involved the reaction of fluoroolefins and mercury salts in the presence of alkali metal fluorides m aprotic solvents [i5J, 156] (equation 118)... 

In the industrial process, the chlorocarbon and liquid hydrogen fluoride feeds are pumped simultaneously into a complex liquid mixture of Sb(lII) and Sb(V) chlorofluondcs at temperatures in the 60-150 °C range The products are generally more volatile than the reactants and therefore distill preferentially from the reactor vessel, thus the reactor can be operated continuously. 

This study investigated risks to the public from serious accidents which could occur at the industrial facilities in this part of Essex, U.K. Results are expressed as risk to an individual and societal risk from both existing and proposed installations. Risk indices were also determined for modified versions of the facilities to quantify the risk reduction from recommendations in the report. Nine industrial plants were analyzed along with hazardous material transport by water, road, rail and pipeline. The potential toxic, fire and explosion hazards were assessed for flammable liquids, ammonia, LPG, LNG, and hydrogen fluoride (HE). The 24 appendices to the report cover various aspects of the risk analysis. These include causes and effects of unconfined...
