Chemische Eigenschaften
Boron oxide is a noncombustible, colorless, semitransparent lumps or hard, white, odorless crystals, with slightly bitter taste.
Physikalische Eigenschaften
Colorless glassy solid or vitreous crystal; hexagonal crystal system; slightly bitter taste; hygroscopic; density 2.55 g/cm
3; melts at 450°C; vaporizes at 1,500°C; slightly soluble in cold water (3.3%), soluble in alcohol and boiling water (20%).
Verwenden
Boron oxide was used as the intermediate glass layer at a bonding temperature of 450°C. In preparation of fluxes; component of enamels and glass; catalyst in organic reaction.
In metallurgy; in analysis of silicates to determine SiO2 and alkalies; in blowpipe analysis.
Application
Electronics Industry: Boron trioxide is one of the key materials in the manufacture of semiconductors and liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It serves as a dopant, helping to regulate the electrical conductivity of silicon wafers. Furthermore, it is utilised in the production of optical fibres, ensuring stable and efficient signal transmission.
Glass and Ceramics Industry: In glass production, boron trioxide significantly enhances thermal resistance and chemical stability. For instance, laboratory-grade heat-resistant glass (such as Pyrex) contains boron trioxide. Within the ceramics sector, it lowers the melting point of glazes, thereby improving ceramic strength and lustre.
Flame Retardants: Boron trioxide serves as a key component in numerous flame retardants. It forms protective layers at elevated temperatures to inhibit flame propagation, finding extensive application in building materials, textiles, and plastic products.
Nuclear Industry: Within nuclear reactors, boron trioxide functions as a neutron absorber, aiding in the regulation of nuclear reaction rates to ensure safe reactor operation.
synthetische
Boric oxide is produced by treating borax with sulfuric acid in a fusion furnace. At temperatures above 750°C, the molten boric acid layer separates out from sodium sulfate. It then is decanted, cooled, and obtained in 96-97% purity. Boric acid above 99% purity may be obtained by fusing granular material.
Boric oxide may be prepared by heating boric acid.

Vorbereitung Methode
Boric oxide is produced by thermal fusion of boric acid,
forming a clear transparent glass-like solid that is subsequently
ground into white vitreous granules. It is used
principally in the manufacture of glass and vitreous
products.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Colorless, semi-transparent glassy lumps or hard white odorless crystals. Mp 450°C; bp: 1860°C. Density: 2.46 g cm-3. Moderately soluble in water. Used as an insecticide; as the starting material for the synthesis of other boron compounds; as a fluxing agent in enamels and glasses; and in mixture with 2-6% boron nitride, as a bonding agent in the hot isostatic pressing of boron nitride ceramics.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
Boron oxide is non-combustible. Of generally low chemical reactivity. Reacts exothermically but slowly with water to form boric acid, a weak acid. Reacts exothermically with strong bases. May react with strong reducing agents such as metal hydrides, metal alkyls to generate flammable or explosive gases. May react violently on contact with bromine pentafluoride. Corrosive to metals in the presence of air.
Hazard
Eye and upper respiratory tract irritant.
Health Hazard
Boron oxide is an eye and respiratory irritant. In 113 workers exposed to boron oxide and boric acid dusts, there were statistically significant increases in symptoms of eye irrita- tion; dryness of the mouth, nose, and throat; sore throat; and productive cough compared with controls. The mean exposure level was 4.1mg/m3 , with a range of 1.2–8.5mg/m3 . Exposures may occasionally have exceeded 10 mg/m3 . Because of mixed exposures, the study does not indicate whether boron oxide or boric acid dust is more important in causing symp- toms, nor does it indicate the minimum duration of exposure necessary to produce symptoms.
Excessive absorption of boron oxide may lead to cardiovascular collapse, alterations in temperature regulation, and coma.
m?gliche Exposition
Boron oxide is used in glass manufacture
and the production of other boron compounds. It is
used in fluxes, enamels, drying agents, and as a catalyst.
