TLDR
In this article, a mixture of precipitated amorphous silica and dissolved sodium fluoride is separated from the aqueous slurry, leaving a solution of sodium fluoride, which can be used as such or reacted with other substances (such as alumina, to form synthetic cryolite).
Abstract
Hydrofluoric acid and/or other fluorine compounds are recovered by reacting fluosilicic acid with a sodium-containing compound to form an alkaline aqueous slurry comprising precipitated amorphous silica and dissolved sodium fluoride. The precipitated amorphous silica is separated from the alkaline aqueous slurry leaving an aqueous solution of sodium fluoride. The sodium fluoride solution can be used as such or reacted with other substances (such as alumina, to form synthetic cryolite). Sodium fluoride is recovered from the aqueous solution (as by evaporation or extraction) and used per se or reacted with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen fluoride.

Method and apparatus for purifying hydrogen fluoride.

TL;DR: A method and apparatus for purifying hydrofluoric acid, comprising the steps of filtering the acid to remove particulates, passing the filtered acid through a cation exchange material and an anion exchange material to remove ions therefrom, periodically monitoring the acid that has passed through the cation-exchange material for a level of cationic impurity representative of actual or impending ionic breakthrough in the ionic exchange material, and periodically monitoring (44, 46, 46) the acid which has passing through the anion-interference, interrupting the flow of acid at
