Like many big chemistry processes, the reaction that produces hydrogen fluoride is quite simple. The details, however, require some careful chemical engineering and strict process control ...

“This follow-up work is much more practical in terms of making what everybody uses already, without going through HF,” says Tobias Ritter, who works on fluorination chemistry at the Max Planck ...

Dr. Anirban Mondal, from the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, and one of the lead authors of the study, says, "HF-related accidents serve as a constant reminder of the hazards involved ...

We have recently demonstrated Al 2 O 3 ALE [1-3] and HfO 2 ALE [4]. During the surface chemistry using HF and Sn(acac) 2 as the reactants, the HF converts the metal oxide to metal fluoride. The ...
