Cryolite(Sodium
Fluoaluminate, Aluminium Sodium Fluoride)
[Molecular Formula]
Na3AlF6
[Molecular Weight] 209.94
[Properties]
Clorless monocrystal crystal, usually appears
offwhite, pink, yellowish or black because of
impurity, usually present as indiscerptible compact
block with glass lustre, specific gravity: 2.9-3.0,
melting point: 1000°C; slight soluble
in water, aqueous solution is acidic, decompose
to toxic hydrogen fluoride gas when meeting with
sulfuric acid.
[Uses]
It is mainly used as fluxing agent in aluminum
production, insecticide for crops, melting agent
and opaquefier for enamel glaze; also used to
produce opal glass and as electrolyte in producing
aluminum alloy, iron alloy and boiling steel;
as ingredient of grindstone and as raw material
in dip coating of aluminum on iron and steel.
