Ammonium bifluoride (ABF)
Ammonium bifluoride (ABF) is used in water treatment, primarily for desilication and pH adjustment. While it can be a safer alternative to hydrofluoric acid in some applications, it's still a corrosive substance that requires careful handling.
Water Treatment Applications:
Desilication:
Ammonium bifluoride helps remove silica deposits from equipment and systems used in water treatment.
pH Adjustment:
It can be used to adjust pH levels in industrial water treatment processes, improving water quality.
Coagulation:
ABF can aid in the removal of suspended solids and impurities, enhancing water clarity.
