Hydrofluoric acid was discovered in 1771 by Swedish pharmaceutical chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele when he was investigating the mineral called fluorite (Calcium fluoride). Hydrogen fluoride (HF) has several synonyms: Hydrofluoric acid, Fluoric acid, Hydrofluoride, Fluorine monohydride, Fluorane. Hydrofluoric (HF) acid is an extremely powerful inorganic …

Tantalum, niobium, and their oxides are important precursor materials, essential for high-temperature alloys and electronic devices. The primary hydrometallurgical extraction technique to extract tantalum and niobium from minerals involves hydrofluoric acid (HF) digestion of the concentrates, followed by solvent extraction as an oxide separation and purification step.

Renascor considers that this modified flowsheet offers the potential for reduced operational risk, by reducing the number of leaching stages, while ...

Hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid compared to many others, but its health risks are particularly severe due to its ability to penetrate tissue. It's important to handle this acid with utmost care. The chemical formula for hydrofluoric acid is HF. In aqueous solution, it exists primarily as the hydronium ion (H 3 O +) and fluoride ion (F –).

This paper reviews the properties of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and its potential for use in hydrometallurgy. Although MSA is much less known than sulfuric, hydrochloric or nitric acid, it has several appealing properties that makes it very attractive for the development of new circular flowsheets in hydrometallurgy. Unlike other organic acids such as acetic acid, MSA is …

Comparative study of extraction of tantalum(V) and niobium(V) with octanol and tributyl phosphate was made. The data on distribution of tantalum(V) and niobium(V) between octanol and hydrofluoric and hydrofluoric-sulfuric acid aqueous solutions were obtained. The flowsheet for preparation of pure tantalum and niobium oxides was developed.
