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 monomeric, pure boron. You pass a mixture of hydrogen with borontribromide through the wire. After heating the wire to 1500K by electric heat, borontribromide will be reduced by high-temperature hydrogen.
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, has a variety of uses. It is used to produce borax, boric acids, boron and other compounds, as well elemental boron. It is widely used in metallurgy as well as building materials, machinery and electrical appliances. Chemicals, light-weight wool, nuclear industries, medicine, agriculture and other sectors. Raw materials are important. Boron is used in more than 300 products. Glass, ceramics, detergents and agricultural fertilizers account for the majority of the global consumption.
Elemental Boron is used for a variety of purposes, including as a good reducing, oxidizing, and brominating agent. Other uses include blending materials of organic syntheses, high-frequency and high-voltage electricity, plasma arc insulation, and transmission windows of radar.
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 ore quality can reduce the melting point and reduce the expansion. It also improves strength and hardness. Boron and its derivatives are also used in the metallurgical and steel industries as raw materials for 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 ceramics. They can be used to improve the surface finish and gloss of a product.
Boric acid
Zinc borate may be used as a fireproof fiber insulator. It’s a good fire retardant. It can also be used for bleaching or mordant dying. In fabric bleaching, sodium metaborate can be used. Boron compounds and paint desiccants can also be used to make soldering and wastewater treatment agents containing mercury in the paper industry.
Boron can be found as a trace in quartz. How to reduce as much boron in the purification process for high-purity, quartz sand becomes the key process. The presence boron lowers the melting point and decreases the number uses of the prepared crucible. This increases production costs of monocrystalline silica.
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 648.700 tons. This is a high dependence on imports.
