Analysis
Appearance : White crystalline solid (Orthorhombic crystals)
NH4HF2 : 98.76%*
(NH4)2SO4 : 0.05%
(NH4)2SiF6 :0.20%
Moisture :0.59%
Solubility in water : 60.2 g at 20°C and 156.4g at 60°C per 100ml of water
Solubility in HCl : 10% (w/v) sample is soluble in 15% (w/w) of HCl at 25°C
*Assay: Weigh accurately about 1.0gm of Ammonium bi fluoride sample. Dissolve it in 100ml distilled water. Titrate with about 1N NaOH. Use Phenolphthalein as indicator. End point is Colourless to Pink.
% acidity as HF = A / B
1st calculate Consumption of NaOH, B.R. X Normality of NaOH X 0.02 X 100 = A
Then Divided the result with " Weight of the sample " = B
%NH4HF= %acidityasHFx57 / 20
Application & Dosage
Ammonium Bifluoride successfully replaces the traditional, but a dangerous and aggressive material - hydrofluoric acid, which is very aggressive, corrodes many materials, causing severe burns, releases harmful to breathe fumes. Ammonium bifluoride use instead of hydrofluoric acid is safer for use, storage and transportation and is less harmful, and reduce your costs by 10 - 15%.
