Aluminum fluoride is a widely used chemical raw material that plays an important role in many fields, especially in the aluminum industry. According to statistics, more than 95% of the world's industrial aluminum fluoride is currently used in aluminum electrolysis production. Its main functions are reflected in the following aspects:

In the aluminum electrolysis process, aluminum fluoride plays a crucial triple role:

As an electrolyte regulator, it can not only replenish the loss of alumina in the electrolyte, but also effectively reduce the molecular ratio and initial crystallization temperature of the electrolyte, thereby optimizing the thermal balance control of the electrolysis process;

As a conductivity enhancer, it can be accurately supplemented according to the results of electrolyte composition analysis, maintain the optimal molecular ratio of the electrolyte, and significantly improve the conductivity of the electrolyte;

As an efficient flux, it can significantly reduce the melting point of alumina, not only promoting the electrolysis efficiency of alumina, but also effectively controlling the electrolysis temperature and significantly reducing energy consumption.

In addition to the aluminum industry, aluminum fluoride is also widely used in many other fields:

Chemical industry: as a catalyst for the synthesis of organic compounds and organic fluorine compounds;

Ceramic manufacturing: used as an important component of enamel flux and glaze;

Optical materials: used to improve the refractive index of lenses and nuclear mirrors, and to manufacture fluoride glass with excellent infrared transmission performance;

Alcohol production: as an inhibitor of the fermentation process;

Other industrial fields also have special applications.

This multifunctional property makes aluminum fluoride an indispensable and important raw material in modern industrial production, and its application value is still expanding and deepening.
