Selection of fluorine chemical industry instruments
Thread Content
We are about to start a hydrofluoric acid project; I’m not sure who handles such fluorine-based chemical projects, and there is an urgent need to determine the appropriate instruments for use. I would like to ask for advice on selecting the appropriate instruments; what should be taken into account when choosing instruments for measuring various parameters?
Electromagnetic flowmeters are commonly used for measuring hydrofluoric acid; we have worked on a project related to hydrofluoric acid before
Also, for electromagnetic flowmeters, platinum is generally used as the electrode material, as hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive; radar level measurement is not recommended in such cases
You can add me on QQ at 1581948468 so we can have a detailed conversation; are you a system supplier or an end-user?
Our company is going to undertake a project related to hydrofluoric acid, and we will be the end users.
The gold industry has a promising future! Regarding the manufacturing process, I think it’s better to communicate with people from design firms that have experience in such designs. Instrument manufacturers simply select the appropriate instruments based on the operating conditions. The fluorine chemicals industry can be further divided into two major sectors: inorganic fluorine chemicals and organic fluorine chemicals. The inorganic fluorine chemicals industry is an important part of the chemical industry, and its products serve as essential raw materials and auxiliary substances for industries such as machinery, electronics, and metallurgy. Among inorganic fluorides, fluoride products such as aluminum fluoride and cryolite, which are used as raw materials in the aluminum electrolysis industry, account for the vast majority of total production, while the output of other products is relatively small. Organofluorine chemical products, thanks to their excellent properties such as chemical resistance, tolerance to extreme temperatures, resistance to aging, low friction, and insulating capabilities, are widely used in industries such as military, chemical manufacturing, and machinery. They have become one of the fastest-growing sectors within the chemical industry, as well as one of the most high-tech and promising fields in this industry. The current mandatory requirement is that the total capacity for hydrogen fluoride production in newly established manufacturing enterprises must be no less than 50,000 tons per year, and the production capacity of each individual hydrogen fluoride production unit must be no less than 20,000 tons per year. At the same time, it is prohibited to build or expand hydrogen fluoride production facilities using fluorite (also known as “fluorspar”) as raw material and a direct water absorption process. Hydrofluoric acid-producing enterprises should, based on the actual requirements of production balance, construct hydrofluoric acid production facilities on-site using hydrogen fluoride as raw material, in order to achieve cleaner production of hydrofluoric acid.
That makes sense; our products are made from HF as a raw material, and hydrofluoric acid may be generated during the production process.
Wow, there are also those that go to HF... We produce AHF, which means we have an additional step of water removal compared to you. If you have any good control solutions for this aspect, feel free to share them with me
Our AHF products are for our own use only; they are not sold to others. Not only are they for our own use, but we still have to purchase them from other places as well.
In recent years, the fluorine chemical industry has been continuously expanding, and our factory is about to scale up as well! Promising!
I know that Monel alloy has excellent resistance to hydrofluoric acid, haha. Also, hydrofluoric acid is very acidic
