Abstract: Extraction of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride from its aqueous solution is provided. A method provides hydrogen fluoride from aqueous solutions, including the reduction of water component of the aqueous solution at an elevated temperature into carbon oxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The condensation and distillation of the obtained hydrogen fluoride and water vapor are characterized by the fact that the mixture of hydrogen fluoride and water is reduced at a temperature of 800 K and above, the molar ratio of carbon to water in the reducing agent is from 0.5 to 4, and using a reducing agent of the general formula CnHmOk, where k?0, m>0, and n>0, and the reducing agent may be saturated, unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing organic compounds, their isomers and their mixtures. The method makes it possible to extract hydrogen fluoride from its mixtures with water in any ratio and from azeotropic mixtures.
