Aluminum is light and strong, and is commonly found in the world. Fluoride is active and can combine with various substances.
Today there is a reaction between aluminum and fluoride. The aluminum atom has a trivalent electron, and the fluorine atom seeks an electron to achieve a stable state. When the two meet, aluminum is willing to give up its three electrons, and fluorine gets one of each to form a compound.
When the reaction occurs, aluminum ions and fluoride ions attract each other and are maintained by electrostatic force, eventually forming Aluminum Fluoride. This compound has unique properties. It can melt at high temperatures and conduct current under specific circumstances. It has a wide range of uses. In the metallurgical industry, it can assist in the process of aluminum refining, reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency. In the chemical industry, it can be used as a catalyst to promote various reactions.
