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.
