Gas-phase hydrolysis of phosphorus pentafluoride constitutes the basis for phosphoryl fluoride synthesis. We propose a procedure for phosphorus pentafluoride hydrolysis in a flow system, followed by adsorption of hydrogen fluoride in a column packed with granulated sodium fluoride. We show that POF(3) can be freed from HF to a level of lower than 0.1 vol %. A flow setup is designed to produce up to 40 g of phosphoryl fluoride per hour. It is established that the occurrence of side reactions (accompanying the major reaction PF(5) + H(2)O --> POF(3) + HF) is responsible for the decreased yield.
