Density: 2.48g/cm three
Boiling point: 1505 ℃
Refractive index: 1.363
Steam pressure: 922mmHg at 25 ° C
Appearance: white crystalline powder
Solubility: soluble in water, hydrofluoric acid, liquid ammonia, insoluble in alcohol [1]

chemical property

It decomposes slightly when heated to sublimation temperature, but molten potassium fluoride is more active and can corrode refractory materials. It can form adduct KF · H with hydrogen peroxide two O two There are two kinds of hydrates: KF · 2H two O and KF · 4H two O。 When the temperature is lower than 40.2 ℃, dihydrate (KF · 2H) can be obtained by crystallization in aqueous solution two O), It is monoclinic crystal and can dissolve in crystal water at 41 ℃.

edit
Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothes immediately, and wash with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Eye contact: immediately lift the eyelid, and thoroughly flush it with a large amount of flowing water or physiological saline for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: quickly leave the site to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse with water and drink milk or egg white. Get medical attention.

Hazardous combustion product: hydrogen fluoride.
Extinguishing method: put out the fire with a large amount of water. Use foggy water to disperse smoke and irritating gases.

Leakage emergency treatment

Announce
edit
Isolate the leakage contaminated area and restrict access. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear dust masks (full face masks) and gas suits. Do not touch the leakage directly.
Small amount of leakage: avoid raising dust and collect it in a dry, clean and covered container with a clean shovel. A large amount of water can also be used for flushing, and the diluted washing water will be discharged into the waste water system.
Large amount of leakage: collect and recycle or transport to waste disposal site for disposal.

Handling and storage

Operation precautions: closed operation, local exhaust. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that the operator wear a hood type electric air supply filter type dust respirator, an adhesive tape gas suit and latex gloves. Avoid dust generation. Avoid contact with acids. Load and unload gently during transportation to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Provide leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may leave harmful substances.
Precautions for storage: store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from kindling and heat sources. Packing and sealing. It shall be stored separately from acids and edible chemicals, and mixed storage is strictly prohibited. The storage area shall be equipped with appropriate materials to contain leakage.
