A process for fluorination of borohydride salts including providing a
reaction medium comprising HF and a superacid. A borohydride salt
compound is added to the reaction medium. The borohydride salt is reacted
with the reaction medium under conditions to form a fluorinated
borohydride salt. In addition, reactor vessels may be provided for
reacting the HF, superacid additive and borohydride that are fabricated
from materials resistant to superacid compositions.
