When zinc encounters fluoride, it often reacts chemically. The activity of zinc is moderate, and it encounters fluoride ions in fluoride, or replaces it. Due to the strong oxidation of fluorine, zinc has a certain degree of reduction. When the two meet, zinc or loses electrons, turns into zinc ions, and combines with fluoride ions to form zinc fluoride and other compounds. In this reaction, zinc atomizes ions, and the structure and properties are changed.
The properties of zinc fluoride are soluble in water, forming a mixture of zinc ions and fluoride ions. This compound has many applications in industry and scientific research. In the field of metallurgy, zinc fluoride is used as a flux to help reduce the melting point of metals and improve smelting efficiency. Fluoride ions can be complexed with a variety of metal ions to assist in metal separation and purification.
Furthermore, the reaction between zinc and fluoride is also critical in the surface treatment of materials. The formation of zinc fluoride and other compound films on the metal surface can increase the corrosion resistance of materials. This film is dense and can prevent external corrosive media from contacting metals, such as moisture, oxygen, etc., thereby protecting metals from erosion and prolonging their service life.
In addition, fluoride also has an impact on biological systems. An appropriate amount of fluoride can strengthen teeth and prevent dental caries. However, excessive intake may cause human discomfort. Zinc is an essential trace element in the human body. It participates in the synthesis and metabolism of various enzymes and is of great significance to maintain the normal physiological function of the human body. Therefore, the chemical properties of zinc and fluoride have far-reaching influence and practical value in the fields of industry, materials science and life science.

Common Uses of Zinc Fluoride

The common uses of zinc and fluoride are discussed in ancient texts under the paradigm of "Tiangong Kaiwu".
Zinc, known as lead in ancient times. Its use with fluoride is quite extensive. Zinc has good corrosion resistance and is often used in the smelting and casting industry to make zinc alloys. For example, brass is a copper-zinc alloy, which can be cast into cauldrons, utensils and the like. Its sound is clearer, strong and beautiful.
Fluoride also has many wonderful uses. Fluorite, containing calcium fluoride, is a common fluoride. In the iron smelting industry, fluorite can be used as a flux to help smelt ore, making slag iron easy to separate and improving the efficiency and quality of iron smelting.
Furthermore, in the ceramic industry, fluoride can be used as a flux and an opacifier. Those who help melt reduce the melting point of the ceramic body and save the energy consumption of firing; those who are opacified make the ceramic glaze appear milky white and increase its appearance.
In the road of medicine, fluoride also has a credit. An appropriate amount of fluoride can strengthen teeth and prevent dental caries. Although ancient times did not have modern fine medicine preparation, in natural medicine stones, it may also contain trace amounts of fluoride to protect people's teeth.

What is the Production Method of Zinc Fluoride?

The method of making zinc and fluoride has been known for a long time. To make zinc fluoride, zinc and fluoride are often directly combined. This reaction is violent and requires caution.
Take pure zinc first, wash and dry it, and place it in a special reaction vessel. Fluorine gas is highly corrosive and highly toxic, so it must be prepared with a proper device and introduced into the reaction vessel. When the fluorine gas slowly passes into the zinc container, the two combine rapidly to form zinc fluoride.
Or use a solution of zinc salt and fluoride for a metathesis reaction. For example, take a zinc sulfate solution and mix it with a sodium fluoride solution. In the solution, zinc ions interact with fluoride ions to form insoluble zinc fluoride precipitation. The reaction is as follows: $ZnSO_ {4} + 2NaF = ZnF_ {2}\ downarrow + Na_ {2} SO_ {4} $. After the reaction is completed, the precipitate is separated by filtration, then washed and dried to obtain pure zinc fluoride.
When operating, no matter what method is used, strict procedures must be followed. Due to the toxicity of fluoride and the reaction or dangerous reagents involved, zinc fluoride can be prepared smoothly to ensure safety.

What are the precautions for Zinc Fluoride in storage and transportation?

When storing and transporting zinc and fluoride, many matters need careful attention.
Zinc is active and prone to chemical reactions in contact with water or moisture. Therefore, when storing zinc, it is necessary to choose a dry and ventilated warehouse, away from water sources, and the ground should be raised to prevent zinc from rusting and rotting due to moisture. When storing, it should also be avoided to coexist in a room with acids and alkalis, because it will react violently, causing damage to zinc and may be dangerous.
Fluorides are mostly toxic and corrosive. When storing fluoride, special containers must be used. Such containers must be corrosion-resistant and well sealed to prevent fluoride leakage. The temperature and humidity of the warehouse should also be strictly controlled. Usually, the temperature should be maintained at room temperature and stable. The humidity should not be too high. Excessive humidity or fluoride deliquescence will affect the quality and even leak.
