chemical property

And liquid ammonia Or co heating with concentrated sulfuric acid, or Potassium hydroxide There was no reaction in eutectic. It is not reduced by hydrogen, and does not decompose but sublimate under strong heat. Its properties are very stable. When heated to 300-400 ℃, it can be partially decomposed into Hydrogen fluoride and alumina [4]

Hazard Overview

Health hazard: the decomposition product hydrogen fluoride is irritant, which can cause irritation symptoms of eyes and respiratory tract mucosa, and can occur in serious cases bronchitis , pneumonia, and even reflex asphyxia.
Flammability hazard: The product is incombustible, toxic, irritant, and seriously damages mucous membrane, upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. [3]

First aid measures

Skin contact: Take off the contaminated clothes and wash the skin thoroughly with soapy water and clean water.
Eye contact: lift the eyelid, use flowing water or normal saline rinse. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: quickly leave the site to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. as dyspnea , give oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: drink enough warm water to induce vomiting. Get medical attention. [3]

Fire fighting measures

Hazard characteristics: It can react violently with alkali metals.
Hazardous combustion products: Hydrogen fluoride alumina
Extinguishing method: put out the fire with a large amount of water. Use foggy water to disperse smoke and irritating gases. [3]

Emergency Management

Emergency treatment: isolate the leakage contaminated area and restrict access. It is recommended that emergency handling personnel wear Dust mask (Full face mask), wear anti-virus clothing. 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.
Large amount of leakage: collect and recycle or transport to waste disposal site for disposal. [3]

Disposal and storage

Operation precautions: closed operation, local exhaust. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. Recommended for operators Self suction filtering dust mask Wear chemical safety goggles, gas permeable protective clothing 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. 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. [3]
