On the use of aluminum fluoride
Aluminum fluoride is also a chemical substance, which is useful in various fields.
First, in the field of metallurgy, aluminum fluoride is often used as a flux for aluminum smelting. The smelting process of aluminum is complicated, and the addition of aluminum fluoride can reduce the melting point of aluminum oxide and reduce the energy consumption required for its melting. In this way, it is indispensable for the metallurgical process to improve the efficiency of aluminum smelting and save energy.
Second, in the chemical industry, aluminum fluoride can be used to synthesize many fluorine-containing compounds. Fluorinated compounds are widely used, or used in pharmaceuticals, endowing drugs with unique properties; or used in the manufacture of special materials, such as high-performance plastics, which are resistant to chemical corrosion and high temperature. Because aluminum fluoride participates in the synthesis, it imparts different properties to the substance.
Furthermore, in the ceramic industry, aluminum fluoride also has its own functions. It can optimize the properties of ceramics, such as improving the hardness, gloss and wear resistance of ceramics. Ceramic products are improved by the action of aluminum fluoride, which shows better properties in architectural decoration and daily ceramics.
In addition, in the glass manufacturing industry, aluminum fluoride can be used as an additive for glass. The addition of aluminum fluoride can improve the optical properties of glass, improve the transmittance of glass, and at the same time enhance the chemical stability of glass and prolong the service life of glass products.
In summary, aluminum fluoride plays an important role in many industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, ceramics, glass manufacturing, etc., and has made great contributions to the development of various fields.
