Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a novel method for producing hydrogen fluoride which can suppress the occurrence of the pasty state over the whole process of producing hydrogen fluoride, reduce the problem of corrosion caused by sulfuric acid, and improve energy efficiency of the process. A method for producing hydrogen fluoride by reacting calcium fluoride and sulfuric acid comprises: (a) mixing and reacting calcium fluoride and sulfuric acid such that a mixture comprising calcium fluoride particles and sulfuric acid substantially maintains a form of particulate to obtain hydrogen fluoride while supplying sulfuric acid to the calcium fluoride particles at a flow rate of 0.002 to 1 mol/min relative to 1 mol of calcium fluoride to such an amount that a molar ratio of sulfuric acid/calcium fluoride is 0.9 to 1.1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing hydrogen fluoride by reacting calcium fluoride and sulfuric acid, the method comprising: (b) mixing and reacting calcium fluoride and sulfuric acid such that a mixture comprising calcium fluoride particles and sulfuric acid is substantially maintained in a particulate form to obtain hydrogen fluoride, wherein sulfuric acid is supplied to the calcium fluoride particles at a flow rate of 0.002 to 0.07 mol/min relative to 1 mol of calcium fluoride at the start of the reaction in such an amount that a molar ratio of sulfuric acid/calcium fluoride is 0.9 to 1.1; and (c) mixing and reacting the intermediate product mixture with itself under a temperature condition higher than that in the step (b) to obtain hydrogen fluoride. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mixing is conducted in the step (b) by use of an apparatus having an attainment degree of mixing of 0.1 or more one minute after a start of the mixing. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step (b) is conducted at a temperature of 0 to 170° C. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step (c) is conducted at a temperature of 80 to 500° C. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the calcium fluoride particles have a specific surface area of 0.5 to 30 m 2 /g.
