Introduction to Boron Oxide Powder

Boron oxide powder, chemically represented as B₂O₃, is a versatile compound used extensively in various industries. Known for its ability to improve elasticity, strength, and thermal resistance, it plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of materials.

Industrial Applications of Boron Oxide Powder

Boron oxide powder is integral in several industrial applications due to its unique properties. It acts as a flux in metallurgy, an additive in glass and ceramics, and a precursor in the synthesis of other boron compounds.

Glass and Ceramics Industry

Boron oxide is a vital component in the production of borosilicate glass, known for its low thermal expansion properties. It makes up approximately 12% of the total weight in certain glass formulations, significantly improving thermal shock resistance and chemical durability.

Specific Parameters

• Thermal expansion coefficient reduction by 25-30%
• Improves chemical resistance by a factor of 3-5
• Typical concentration in borosilicate glass: 10-15% by weight

Metallurgical Applications

In metallurgy, boron oxide is used as a flux to remove impurities in metal smelting processes. It reduces the melting point of slag, allowing for more efficient metal extraction.

Specific Parameters

• Reduces slag melting point by 200-300°C
• Increases metal purity by 1-2%
• Addition rate: Typically 1-5% of ore weight

Electronics Manufacturing

Boron oxide is employed in electronics for the production of semiconductors and other electronic components. Its role in the synthesis of boron carbide and other boron compounds makes it indispensable for advanced electronics.

Specific Parameters

• Boron carbide microhardness: Approx. 30 GPa
• Thermal conductivity enhancement: Up to 10 W/(m·K)

Medical and Pharmaceutical Uses

Boron oxide serves as a precursor for boron-based pharmaceuticals and medical materials. Its use in the formulation of boron neutron capture therapy agents highlights its importance in cancer treatment.

Specific Parameters

• Neutron capture cross-section: Approximately 3,837 barns
• Concentration in therapeutic agents: 50-200 mg/kg
