Fluorine History

1、The mineral fluorspar (also called fluorite), consisting mainly of calcium fluoride, was described in 1530 by Georgius Agricola for its use as a flux.
2、In 1670 Schwanhard found that when it was exposed to fluorspar that had been treated with acid,glass was etched .
3、As its extreme reactivity, elemental fluorine was not isolated until many years after the characterization of fluorite. In 1886, the isolation of elemental fluorine was reported by Henri Moissan after almost 74 years of effort by other chemists.
4、The first large-scale production of fluorine was undertaken in support of the Manhattan project, where the compound uranium hexafluoride (UF6) had been selected as the form of uranium that would allow separation of its 235U and 238U isotopes.
5、Today gaseous UF6 is used by  the gaseous diffusion process and the gas centrifuge process  to produce enriched uranium for nuclear power applications.

Preparation of Fluorine: this chemical can be prepared by the reaction of potassium hexafluoromanganate and antimony pentafluoride at 150 °C.
2 K2MnF6 + 4 SbF5 → 4 KSbF6 + 2 MnF3 + F2
Industrial production of this product in the middle temperature process entails the electrolysis of a solution of potassium bifluoride in hydrogen fluoride.

Uses of Fluorine: this chemical can be used for plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display production and MEMS fabrication. Xenon difluoride is also used for this last purpose. Indirectly, it is used in the production of halons such as freon. Along with some of its compounds. Additionallym it can be used in the production of pure uranium from uranium hexafluoride and in the synthesis of numerous commercial fluorochemicals, including vitally important pharmaceuticals, agrochemical compounds, lubricants, and textiles. It is also used directly or combined with higher metals (cobalt, silver, cerium, etc.) and halogens (chlorine and bromine) for organic fluorinations and the growing production of fluorocarbons. Furthermore, it is one of the most common mineralocorticoids, a class of drugs which mimics the actions of aldosterone. And it is a triazole antifungal drug which is used in the treatment and prevention of superficial as well as systemic fungal infections.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following: it may cause severe burns. Please keep container in a well-ventilated place It is also very toxic by inhalation. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. And you should wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Moreover, in case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show label where possible).
