Years: 1771 - 1771

Scheele obtains hydrofluoric acid in 1771 in an impure state by heating fluorspar, now known to be a compound of fluorine, with concentrated sulfuric acid in a glass retort, which is greatly corroded by the product.

Subsequent experiments with the substance employ vessels made of metal.
