Materials
Nickel and Monel crucibles, using copper gaskets, are compatible with the fluorine gas. Teflon is appropriate for gaskets and tubing at lower temperatures. At higher temperatures, platinum crucibles would be needed, but the eutectic electrolysis should have a temperature low enough to that platinum isn't required. See J. Grannec and L. Lozano, "2: Preparative Methods", in the book Inorganic Solid Fluorides, P. Hagenmuller (ed.), Academic Press, NY, 1985, pp. 17-76. Geoffrey.landis 07:23, 14 March 2007 (PDT)
