Hydrofluoric acid (HF) and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) are very poisonous, highly irritating and corrosive. Hydrofluoric acid or Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is fatal if inhaled, if swallowed, or in contact with ...

HF is insidiously dangerous, since it doesn’t cause skin burns that you can feel as other acids do. Instead, it seeps through tissue, eats into bones and turns the calcium into calcium fluoride.

HF acid purity determination is the main control parameter for HFU control and optimization, given that it can be delivered rapidly enough to spot process unit upsets, such as transient shifts in acid ...

There are at least three producers of solid acid catalyst, and they say it is much safer than either HF or sulfuric acid and less likely to corrode refinery equipment. One producer, a consortium ...

Alkylate is in short supply in the US. The renewable fuels standard (RFS) mandates the use of ethanol in gasoline.

A team of researchers has developed a method that could transform the field of protein engineering. The new approach, called ...

Hydrogen fluoride solutions are visually indistinguishable from water when diluted and quickly dissolve in water to generate colorless hydrofluoric acid solutions.

The Torrance City Council voted 5-2 against phasing out the use of hydrofluoric acid and voted 7-0 in favor of adopting safety measures at the refinery.

Currently, all fluorochemicals -- critical for many industries -- are generated from the highly dangerous mineral acid hydrogen fluoride (HF). This acid is produced in a high-energy process ...

Hydrogen fluoride solutions are visually indistinguishable from water when diluted and quickly dissolve in water to generate colorless hydrofluoric acid solutions.

The US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) has deployed a team of chemical incident investigators to examine the cause of a release of hydrofluoric acid (HF) that occurred June 7 ...
