Zirconium fluoride Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties
White powder. Slightly soluble in water and hydrogen fluoride.
Uses
Zirconium tetrafluoride is used in some fluoridebased glasses. These glasses are the first chemically and mechanically stable bulk glasses to have continuous high transparency from the near uv to the mid-ir (0.3–6 μm).
Uses
Zirconium fluoride is used as a zirconium source in oxygen-sensitive applications such as metal production.
Uses
Component of molten salts for nuclear reactors.
Hazard
Strong irritant. TLV: 2.5 mg(F)/m3.
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of F-. See also ZIRCONIUM COMPOUNDS and FLUORIDES.
