In this study, the chemical substance flow of hydrogen fluoride (hydrofluoric acid, HF) in domestic chemical industries in 2014 was analyzed in order to provide a basic material and information for the establishment of organized management system to ensure safety during HF applications. A total of 44,751 tons of HF was made by four domestic companies (in 2014); import amount was 95,984 tons in 2014 while 21,579 tons of HF was imported in 2005. The export amount of HF was 2180 tons, of which 2074 ton (China, 1422 tons, U.S. 524 tons, and Malaysia, 128 tons) was exported for the manufacturing of semiconductors. Based on the export and import amounts, it can be inferred that HF was used for manufacturing semiconductors. The industries applications of 161,123 tons of HF were as follows: manufacturing of basic inorganic chemical substance (27,937 tons), manufacturing of other chemical products such as detergents (28,208 tons), manufacturing of flat display (24,896 tons), and manufacturing of glass container package (22,002 tons). In this study, an analysis of the chemical substance flow showed that HF was mainly used in the semiconductor industry as well as glass container manufacturing. Combined with other risk management tools and approaches in the chemical industry, the chemical substance flow analysis (CSFA) can be a useful tool and method for assessment and management. The current CSFA results provide useful information for policy making in the chemical industry and national systems.

本研究旨在分析 2014 年韩国国内化工行业氢氟酸（氟化氢，HF）的化学物质流，为建立 HF 应用安全管理体系提供基础资料和信息。2014 年，4 家国内公司共生产了 44751 吨 HF；2005 年进口了 21579 吨 HF，2014 年进口了 95984 吨 HF。HF 的出口量为 2180 吨，其中 2074 吨（中国 1422 吨，美国 524 吨，马来西亚 128 吨）用于制造半导体。根据进出口量可以推断 HF 主要用于制造半导体。161123 吨 HF 的工业应用如下：基础无机化学物质制造（27937 吨）、清洁剂等其他化学产品制造（28208 吨）、平板显示器制造（24896 吨）、玻璃容器包装制造（22002 吨）。本研究中的化学物质流分析表明，HF 主要用于半导体和玻璃容器制造行业。结合化工行业其他风险管理工具和方法，化学物质流分析（CSFA）可以成为评估和管理的有用工具和方法。目前的 CSFA 结果为化工行业和国家系统的政策制定提供了有用的信息。
