Colorless liquid; [Hawley]

Dissociation ConstantspK1 = 5.5; pK2 = 8.5
Other Experimental Properties · 5 items

Hydrolyzes when diluted with water producing phosphoric acid.

On cooling it does not crystallize but sets to a rigid glass at -78 °C.

Little decomposition occurs up to 185 °C under vacuum but it cannot be distilled.

Anhydrous acid has no oxidizing character.

An aqueous solution shows the normal behavior of a dibasic acid; the first neutralization point is at pH 3.5 and the second at pH 8.5. Conductance measurements, however, indicate that it behaves as a monophasic acid in aqueous solution.

MARTIN EE; DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENT FOR EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS GUIDELINES AND NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR PHOSPHORUS DERIVED CHEMICALS SEGMENT OF THE PHOSPHATE MANUFACTURING POINT SOURCE CATEGORY; US NTIS, PB REP: 158 PAGES (1974) ISS 241018. A STUDY WAS MADE OF THE PHOSPHATE MANUFACTURING POINT SOURCE CATEGORY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS GUIDELINES, FEDERAL STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE, AND PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR THE INDUSTRY. EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS GUIDELINES WERE DEVELOPED, DEFINING THE DEGREE OF EFFLUENT REDUCTION ATTAINABLE THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE BEST PRACTICABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND THE BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY ECONOMICALLY ACHIEVABLE. THE STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR NEW SOURCES WERE ALSO DEFINED. PROCESSES, WASTES, AND COSTS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED.

Reactivity AlertsKnown Catalytic Activity
Reactivity Profile · 1 item

FLUOROPHOSPHORIC ACID neutralizes chemical bases (for example: amines and metal hydroxides) to form salts. Neutralization can generate dangerously large amounts of heat in small spaces. May react with active metals, including such structural metals as aluminum and iron, to release hydrogen, a flammable gas. Can initiate the polymerization of certain classes of organic compounds. Reacts with cyanide compounds to release gaseous hydrogen cyanide. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases in contact with dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, nitriles, sulfides, and strong reducing agents. Incompatible with sodium tetrahydroborate. May react with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3), dithionites (SO2), and carbonates. May catalyze (increase the rate) of chemical reactions.

/GUIDE 154: SUBSTANCES - TOXIC AND/OR CORROSIVE (NON-COMBUSTIBLE)/ Health: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. /Fluorophosphoric acid, anhydrous/

/GUIDE 154: SUBSTANCES - TOXIC AND/OR CORROSIVE (NON-COMBUSTIBLE)/ Fire or Explosion: 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. /Fluorophosphoric acid, anhydrous/

/GUIDE 154: SUBSTANCES - TOXIC AND/OR CORROSIVE (NON-COMBUSTIBLE)/ Public Safety: CALL Emergency Response Telephone Number ... . As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate enclosed areas. /Fluorophosphoric acid, anhydrous/

/GUIDE 154: SUBSTANCES - TOXIC AND/OR CORROSIVE (NON-COMBUSTIBLE)/ Protective Clothing: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible. /Fluorophosphoric acid, anhydrous/

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Preventive Measures · 2 items

THE BASIC VENTILATION METHODS ARE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION AND DILUTION OR GENERAL VENTILATION.

SRP: Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants.

Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts · 2 items

The toxic effects of monofluorophosphate (MFP) are attributable to the fluoride ion released by the in vivo hydrolysis of the parent cmpd. The monofluorophosphate ion appears to play no role. The acute toxicity of monofluorophosphate is somewhat less than that of sodium fluoride, due to the lesser availability of fluoride in the short term from monofluorophosphate. In the long term, monofluorophosphate produces virtually the same picture of renal effects and skeletal storage of fluoride as does sodium fluoride.

Ingested monofluorophosphate (MFP) is hydrolyzed by phosphatases mainly in the lumen and wall of the small intestine. monofluorophosphate hydrolysis is insignificant in the saliva and the stomach and absorption is greatest in the small intestine, mainly or entirely as fluoride ions. Liver tissue also rapidly hydrolyzes monofluorophosphate, and monofluorophosphate ions have not been found parenterally. The post-absorption physiology of monofluorophosphate therefore appears to be identical with that of sodium fluoride. However, the absorption peaks of fluoride in blood and other body fluids and tissues occur earlier and are higher after sodium fluoride ingestion, unless fluoride is bound by calcium ions in the digestive tract. Calcium ions have a comparatively small effect on fluoride absorption from monofluorophosphate, and complex-bound calcium has practically no effect.

Antidote and Emergency TreatmentMonitor plasma fluoride level because monofluorophosphoric acid may increase plasma fluoride levels and decrease plasma calcium.
