What is Boron?
Boron
Boron is either a silvery-gray or black solid. The earth’s crust contains 0.001% boron. Crystal boron has a black color, is harder than diamond and is brittle. Boron was named Boron. Its name is derived Arabic, and the original meaning of “flux”. This shows that ancient Arabs were aware that borax was able to melt metals oxides and used as a welding flux.
Boron – Preparation
The sodium metaborate first obtained is by decomposing the magnesium borate solution with concentrated alkali, then crystallizing NaBO2 solution in strong alkali, making the solution dissolve in water, increasing the concentration, and finally concentrating the crystallization. Adjust the acidity of the sodium tetraborate solution with sulfuric to precipitate crystals of boric acids with low solubility. After heating, boric acid dehydrates to borontrioxide. Then, after drying, B2O3 is reduced with magnesium or aluminium to obtain crude boron. The crude boron undergoes three different treatments: hydrochloric, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen fluoride. This results in brown amorphous, 95-98% pure boron.
By hydrogen reduction, you can make the purest monomeric form of boron. You pass a mixture of hydrogen with borontribromide through the wire. After heating the wire to 1500K by electric heat, the borontribromide will be reduced by the hydrogen at high temperatures.
You can also obtain boron by heating magnesium or aluminum powder and reducing boron dioxide.
Use of boron for industrial purposes
Boron, a chemical raw-material mineral with many applications, is used in a variety of ways. It is primarily used to produce borax, boric acids, and boron as well as the elemental boron. It is widely used in metallurgy as well as building materials, electrical appliances and chemicals, light-weight wool, nuclear industries, medicine, agriculture and other sectors. Important raw materials. Boron is used in more than 300 products. Glass, ceramics, detergents and agricultural fertilizers account for the majority of global consumption.
Elemental Boron is used for reducing, oxidizing, brominating, organic synthesis, as a blending material, an insulator, and plasma arc and high voltage electricity.
Boron The boron element is found in trace amounts of alloys, and when combined with aluminum or plastic, can be used as an effective shielding material for neutrons. Boron-containing additives improve sintering, which is important in the metal industry. The quality of ore can reduce the melting point and reduce the expansion. It also improves strength and hardness. Boron and its derivatives are also used in metallurgy as co-solvents and as raw materials for the production of boron-iron boron steel. The addition of titanium boride or lithium boride to building materials and heat-resistant alloys can produce these compounds. Borates, borides, and other borates are essential components in enamel, ceramics, glass, and other materials. They can be used to improve the surface finish and gloss of a product.
Boric acid
Zinc borate may be used to create fireproof fibers. It’s a good fire retardant. It can also be used for bleaching and mordant dying. In fabric bleaching, sodium metaborate can be used. In the paper industry, boron compounds and paint desiccants can also be used.
Boron can be found as a trace in quartz. How to reduce boron to the minimum is the key in the purification of quartz sand. The presence reduces both the melting point and the number used of the prepared quartz-crucible.
China has abundant boron-ore resources but boron-ore products cannot meet domestic construction needs. Domestic borax production was around 400,000 tons in 2007, imported boron-ore products were about 648.700 tons. This shows a high dependence on imports.
