Abstract: A substantially dried XF•nH2O2 product is produced by method(s) wherein a feed solution comprised of (i) a XF composition wherein X is K, Na+ or NH4+ and n is an integer from 1 to 3, (ii) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), (iii) a fluid carrier component and (iv) a potassium bifluoride (KHF2) catalyst, is atomized as it enters a desiccation/evaporation chamber. The atomized feed solution coats fluidized particles passing through the desiccation/evaporation chamber. The coated fluidized particles are dried by a pre-heated gas stream and thereby creating fluid-bed particles that are coated with a layer of the XF•nH2O2 compound. The resulting XF•nH2O2 coated fluid-bed particles are then subjected to disintegration forces that serve to break substantial portions of the layer of dried XF•nH2O2 material from the outer surfaces of he individual fluid-bed particles. These dried XF•nH2O2 are then recovered as the product of these production methods.

Abstract: A solution containing a compound having the general formula XF.nH2O2, wherein X is K+, Na+ or NH4+ and n is an integer from 1 to 3 (e.g., a peroxysolvate of potassium fluoride compound such as potassium fluoride hydroperoxide (KF.H2O2)) is injected into a subterranean formation in order to increase its permeability, especially with respect to hydrocarbon flow. These compounds serve to dissolve a wide variety of subterranean formation minerals (e.g., siliceous materials as well as carbonaceous materials). Potassium hydrofluoride (KHF2), can be employed with these compounds to produce particularly efficacious subterranean formation treatment solutions.
