It is used as wood preservatives, agricultural pesticides, fungicides in brewing industry, pharmaceutical preservative, welding flux, alkaline zincate zinc additives and enamel, paper and so on.
Application in toothpaste
Sodium fluoride was added to toothpaste which can play against dental caries, since enamel interacts with fluoride to form fluorapatite on the enamel surface, which improves the hardness and acid resistance of enamel, and reduces formation of plaque, reduces the incidence of dental caries.
Fluoride toothpaste does have some anti-caries effects. As early as the mid-19th century, pregnant women took orally calcium fluoride for anti-caries in Europe. In the 20th century, fluoride is recognized worldwide as an effective anti-caries agent. Usually in fluoride toothpaste, the content of sodium fluoride is 0.22-0.33%, the content of sodium monofluorophosphate is 0.76%. Although small amount, it has a good protective effect on people's teeth, can reduce the caries prevalence rate of 28%.
According to different content of fluoride in toothpaste, fluoride toothpaste is divided into the following categories: sodium fluoride toothpaste, monofluorophosphate toothpaste, stannous fluoride toothpaste, amine fluoride toothpaste and so on. Currently the most common fluoride toothpaste on the market are sodium fluoride toothpaste and monofluorophosphate dentifrice, or double fluorine toothpaste containing both sodium fluoride and sodium monofluorophosphate. Different types of fluoride toothpastes, and whether the toothpastes contain single fluorine or double fluorides, their effects of anti-caries are the same.
Production method
Melt immersion method
Calcine the fluorite, quartz sand and soda ash at high temperature (800~900 ℃), followed by water leaching, and then by evaporation, crystallization, drying to prepare products.
CaF2 + Na2CO3 + SiO2 → 2NaF + CaSi03 + C02 ↑
Neutralizational process
It is derived from neutralization of soda ash or caustic soda with hydrofluoric acid,
2HF + Na2CO3 → 2NaF + H2O + CO2 ↑
Dissolve soda in the pot liquor, and then add 30% hydrofluoric acid to neutralize to a pH value of 8-9, until CO2 gas evolution, hydrofluoric acid often contains fluosilicate impurities, and after neutralization to generate sodium fluosilicate, heating for 1h at 90~95 ℃, sodium fluosilicate decomposes:
Na2SiF6 + 2Na2CO3 → 6NaF + SiO2 + 2C02 ↑
And during the process of neutralization, pH value is not less than 8, otherwise sodium fluoride is difficult to decompose by base, and neutralization solution is allowed to stand for 1h, serum is cooled and concentrated to precipitate sodium fluoride crystals and then separated by centrifugation, drying, crushing to obtain products.
Sodium fluosilicate method
As the byproduct of the wet process of phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer, fluosilicic acid may prepare 99.87% sodium fluoride by conventional methods. The reaction lasts 160~180min at 84~95 ℃ and 0.15MPa conditions, with an excess of 5% to 8% alkaline solution (pH value 8-9) to prepare sodium fluoride.
Na2SiF6 + 2Na2Co3 → 6NaF + SiO2 + 2C02 ↑
After standing and clarification of neutralization solution, the supernatant was concentrated by evaporation, cooling crystallization, after separation, wash with hot water of 50~60 ℃, indirectly dry to obtain products.
Toxicity
Sodium fluoride is an acute toxicant. Ingestion of large quantites (5 to 10g) can cause death in humans. Smaller quantities can produce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stupor, and weakness. Other symptoms are tremor, muscular weakness, and dyspnea. Mottling of teeth can occur from chronic exposure.

General Description
Sodium fluoride is a colorless crystalline solid or white powder, or the solid dissolved in a liquid. Sodium fluoride is formed by the reaction of sodium carbonate and hydrofluoric acid. Sodium fluoride is soluble in water. Sodium fluoride is noncombustible. Sodium fluoride is corrosive to aluminum. Sodium fluoride is used as an insecticide. Sodium fluoride is also used to fluorinate water supplies, as a wood preservative, in cleaning compounds, manufacture of glass, and for many other uses.
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, strong irritant to tissue.
Health Hazard
Ingestion may cause vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, convulsions, collapse, thirst, disturbed color vision, acute toxic nephritis.
Health Hazard
The acute toxicity of fluorides is generally moderate. High exposures may cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Ingestion of fluoride may cause a salty or soapy taste, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, shortness of breath, difficulty in speaking, thirst, weak pulse, disturbed color vision, muscular weakness, convulsions, loss of consciousness, and death. In humans the approximate lethal dose of NaF by ingestion is 5 g. Repeated inhalation of fluoride dust may cause excessive calcification of the bone and calcification of ligaments of the ribs, pelvis, and spinal column. Repeated skin contact may cause a rash Fluorides have not been shown to be carcinogenic or to show reproductive or developmental toxicity in humans.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
Fire Hazard
Fluorides are not combustible.
Flammability and Explosibility
Fluorides are not combustible.
Industrial uses
Sodium fluoride is a white to yellowish powder, poorly soluble in water. The NaF solubility in water is 3.85% at 15 °C and 4.21% at 25 °C. Commercially, NaF is obtained by reacting hydrofluoric acid with sodium hydroxide. This reaction is a by-product during the production of superphosphates from fluoro-apatite. Sodium fluoride is an important depressant used exclusively during beneficiation of non-sulfide minerals, as well as the rare-earth minerals as a depressant alone or in combination with other depressants. It is used together with starch as co-depressant for rutile and ilmenite during zirconium– titanium separation or during reverse silicate flotation from rutile and ilmenite with cationic collectors. Although it is believed that Na2F is a silicate depressant, studies have shown that it does not depress silicate minerals. In fact, it improves depression of oxides and silicates when used with other depressants.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sodium fluoride (NaF) prevents dental caries, by catalysing the diffusion of calcium and phosphate and remineralizes the lesions. Fluoride affects spermatogenesis and capacitation process in the female reproductive tract. Fluoride induces oxidative stress, DNA damage in ovary ultimately affects the development of oocytes. Fluoride supplementation enhances bone mineral density. 18F-NaF is a radiotracer used in positron emission tomography (PET) to identify atherosclerotic lesions and other cardiac plaques.
Clinical Use
Sodium fluoride (NaF) promotes the proliferation and activity of osteoblasts and is classified as a nonhormonal bone-forming agent. Because treatment with NaF induces bone formation, it is essential that this therapy be coupled with oral calcium supplementation (1,000 mg/day). Additionally, NaF exhibits moderate antiresorptive activity, because it inhibits osteoclastic activity when it is absorbed into the bone matrix. In the treatment of osteoporosis, the therapeutic window for this agent is fairly narrow: Doses less than 45 mg/day are subtherapeutic, and doses in excess of 75 mg/day impair bone mineralization. In addition, the bone that is formed in the presence of NaF is neither as well mineralized nor as strong as normal bone tissue. In fact, some
