Molecular Formula: anhydrous AlF3
Molecular Weight: 83.97
CAS No.: 7784-18-1
The anhydrous AlF3 is an off-white, free-flowing granular material, insoluble in most organic and inorganic liquids at room temperatures. It is slightly soluble in water (0.56 g/100 ml), The chemical property is very steady.
It can lower the smelting temperature, increase electrical conductivity and adjust the molecular ratio during aluminum electrolyzing. It is propitious to the aluminum oxide electrolyte and reduces the energy consumption during the smelting. It essentially lowers the melting points and increases the conductivity of electrolytes, reducing the electric power consumption. It is also used as the flux of the non-iron metal etc. The anhydrous AlF3 supplied by DFD has the advantages such as high purity, low moisture and high bulk density, which can reduce environmental pollution, energy consumption and waste emission during aluminum smelting. Anhydrous AlF3 is the upgraded product of fluoride for the primary aluminum industry.
