Wet Process Aluminum Fluoride AlF3
Description:
The production of aluminum fluoride industry in my country began in the 1950s and entered the 1980s. At that time, the country regarded the electrolytic aluminum industry as one of its priority industries, which brought about a leap in the production of aluminum fluoride industry. 2 major categories, namely dry process and wet process, where the intermediate product AF3·3H2O is prepared first and then dehydrated to obtain the aluminum fluoride finished product, collectively referred to as the wet process; there is no need to extract the intermediate product AIF·3H2O directly The method of extracting aluminum fluoride products is collectively called the dry process.
In the aluminum electrolysis industry, Aluminium Fluoride is used to reduce the melting temperature of the electrolyte and increase the conductivity. It is used as a flux for non-ferrous metals, as a flux and component of ceramic glaze and enamel glaze, and as an inhibitor of secondary fermentation in essential oil production. . Used as a side fermentation inhibitor in alcohol production. Used in welding liquid in metal welding, used to make optical lens. Also used as a catalyst for organic synthesis and raw material for artificial cryolite, etc.
Aluminium fluoride is an important additive for the production of aluminium by electrolysis. Together with cryolite, it lowers the melting point to below 1000 °C and increases the conductivity of the solution. It is into this molten salt that aluminium oxide is dissolved and then electrolyzed to give bulk Al metal.

Applications:
1.it can lower the smelting temperature, increase electricity conductivity and adjust the molecular ratio during aluminum electrolyzing.
2.It is propitious to the aluminum oxide electrolyte and reduces the energy consumption during the smelting. It essentially lowers the melting points and increase the conductivity of electrolyte, reducing the electric power consumption.
3.It is also used as the flux of the non-iron metal etc.
Packing:
