Description

Fluosilicic acid,H2SiF6, also known as hydrofluorosilicic acid,is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water. It is highly corrosive and toxic,attacking glass and stoneware. Fluosilicic acid is used in water fluoridation, electroplating, and in manufacturing enamels and cement. Fluorosilicic acid is a transparent, colorless fuming liquid.Hexafluorosilicic acid is a kind of inorganic acid. It is majorly used for the fluoridation of water in United State to minimize the incidence of dental ca

Fluorosilicic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Silica powder acid hydrolysis method Hydrofluoric acid is first added to the lead-line acid hydrolysis equipment, and then the silica powder is gradually added to make it react. After the reaction is complete, add rice bran ash to neutralize the free hydrofluoric acid, and at the same time act as a bleaching solution, filter the solution, and add an appropriate amount of Huangdan powder (PbO) to the filtrate to remove the hydrofluoric acid. The sulphate which is added is then filtered to obtain the finished fluorosilicic acid product. Its 6HF+SiO2→H2SiF6+2H2O

Uses

A 1-2% solution is used widely for sterilizing equipment in brewing and bottling establishments.Other concentrations are used in the electrolytic refining of lead, in electroplating, for hardening cement, crumbling lime or brick work, for the removal of lime from hides during the tanning process, to remove molds, as preservative for timber.
