- Boron is a
chemical element with atomic number 5 and the chemical symbol
B.
- Boron is a trivalent
nonmetallic element which occurs abundantly in the evaporite ores borax
and ulexite.
- Amorphous boron is a
brown powder, though crystalline boron is black, hard (9.3 on Mohs'
scale), and a weak conductor at room temperature.
- Elemental boron is
used as a dopant in the semiconductor industry, while boron compounds
play important roles as light structural materials, nontoxic
insecticides and preservatives, and reagents for chemical
synthesis.
- As an ultratrace
element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats and
presumably other mammals, though its physiological role in animals
is poorly understood.
- B isotope is used
for reactivity control; pure boron and, especially its alloys are used
in neutron absorbers for manufacturing control rods and reactors for
nuclear power plants.
- The diamond-like
allotrope of boron nitride, one of the hardest materials known but is
softer than materials such as diamond, known under a name Borazon, is
widely used as an abrasive for industrial tools.
- Boron helps to
prevent osteoporosis by aiding in the construction and maintenance of
healthy bones.
- Boron-substituted
PA-MP was synthesized by copyrolysis of a filtered coal tar pitch with
borane complexes.
- Boron nitride (BN)
nanotubes have been produced from elemental boron powder using a new
low-temperature process, which involves ball milling of boron powder in
ammonia gas at room temperature, and followed by annealing at
temperatures up to 1300 °C in nitrogen gas.
- Ball milling induces
nitriding reactions between the boron powder and the ammonia gas with
the formation of a disordered BN phase. BN
nanotubes then grow out
during the subsequent heat treatment. This novel process for forming BN
nanotubes is distinctly different from arc
discharge and
laser-heating processes.
- Demand for refined
borates, especially boric acid and sodium borates, is doing moderately
well at present. Market conditions are positive, with prices for
borates steady, though
producers say they have not
quite kept up with rising production costs.
- Estimated global
consumption of boron rose to a record 1.8Mt B2O3 in 2005 following a
period of strong growth in demand from Asia, Europe and
North
America.
- The rise in global
demand has been driven by high rates of growth in fibreglass and
borosilicate production.The recent rises in energy prices can be
expected to lead to greater use of insulation grade fibreglass, with
consequent growth in the use of boron.
- A rapid
increase in the manufacture of reinforcement grade fibreglass in Asia
with a consequent increase in demand for borates has offset the
development of boron free reinforcement grade fibreglass in Europe
and the USA.
