Fluoride evolution from Hall-Heroult cells can be predicted with reasonable accuracy using only thermodynamics, kinetics and physical properties of the bath. New data made it possible to improve the previous model. Bath appears to achieve its equilibrium partial pressure in the anode gas. Bath vapor then condenses as it cools to form particulate fluoride. Liquid bath entrained in the pot gas freezes and contributes also to particulate, but is a minor factor if the cell has a good ore cover.
