Hazard Predictions

Toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride gas can be generated by the reaction of strong acids with metal fluoride salts, especially alkali metal fluorides such as lithium fluoride, sodium fluoride, and potassium fluoride (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 247). Phenols are weakly acidic and are expected to react in a similar way, but to react much more slowly. Small scale experiments should be carefully considered to more fully assess hazard.
