Boron trioxide is used as optical glass because of its unique structural form. The structural principle is that glassy which (g-b2o3) is likely to be a network structure formed by the orderly connection of many triangular BO3 units through shared oxygen atoms, in which the boron oxygen phase six-membered ring b3o3 is dominant. The boron atom is three coordinated in the six-membered ring, and the oxygen atom is two coordinated. The glass softens at 325-450 ° C and its density changes with heating. When heated, the disorder degree in the boron oxid structure of the glass increases. When the temperature exceeds 450 ° C, a polar -b=o base will be generated.

When the temperature is higher than 1000 ° C, the vapor is composed of a B2O3 monomer, and its structure is angular o=b-o-b=o. Ordinary hexagonal boron oxid can be formed by crystallizing liquid in the range of 200-250 ° C under normal pressure( α- B2O3), whose structure is almost entirely triangular BO3 units. At 22000atm and 400 ° C, α- Transformation of B2O3 into the monoclinic crystal of high temperature and high-pressure type β- B2O3. The transformation process is similar to that of quartz to coesite under high pressure. Besides, β- B2O3 can also be obtained by crystallizing liquid at 40000 ATM, and 600 ° C. β- B2O3 has a large bulk modulus (k = 180 GPA). G-b2o3 and β- The Vickers hardness of B2O3 is 1.5gpa and 16gpa, respectively.

Structure

Glass like boron oxide (g-B2O3) is likely a network structure composed of many triangular BO3 units connected in an orderly manner through shared oxygen atoms, with a hexagonal ring B3O3 dominated by boron oxygen phases. In this six membered ring, the boron atom is three coordinated and the oxygen atom is two coordinated. The glass body softens at 325-450 ℃, and its density varies with the heating conditions. When heated, the disorder in the boron oxide structure of the glass increases. When the temperature exceeds 450 ℃, polar - B=O groups will be generated. When the temperature is above 1000 ℃, the boron oxide vapor is entirely composed of B2O3 monomers, and its structure is angular O=B-O-B=O.

Under normal pressure, liquid boron oxide can crystallize within the range of 200-250 ℃ to form ordinary hexagonal boron oxide (α - B2O3), whose structure is almost entirely composed of triangular BO3 units.

At 22000 atm and 400 ℃, α - B2O3 transforms into a high-temperature and high-pressure monoclinic crystal β - B2O3. The transformation process is similar to the conversion of quartz to coesite under high pressure. In addition, β - B2O3 can also be obtained by crystallization of liquid boron oxide at 40000 atm and 600 ℃.
The bulk modulus of β - B2O3 is very large (K=180GPa). The Vickers hardness of g-B2O3 and β - B2O3 are 1.5 GPa and 16 GPa, respectively.

Manufacture Information

 

 

 

The chemical properties of boron oxide are as follows: it is an acid oxide that can dissolve many alkaline metal oxides when melting to form glassy borates and metaborates (glasses) with characteristic colors. This is the principle of qualitative identification of metals by the borax bead test. it can be reduced to simple boron by alkali metals, aluminum, and magnesium. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was treated with hydrochloric acid, MgO, B2O3, and Mg were dissolved in hydrochloric acid, and crude boron was obtained after filtration. it cannot be reduced by carbon at high temperatures (boron carbide can be formed at high temperatures). Boron trichloride can be obtained by reacting with carbon and chlorine at high temperatures. At 600 ° C, it reacts with ammonia to obtain boron nitride (BN) and calcium hydride to obtain calcium hexaboride (CaB6). it is the anhydride of boric acid. When dissolved in water, it will release a large amount of heat to form metaboric acid and boric acid.

Manufacturing Information

1. Atmospheric pressure method

 

 

Send boric acid into the heating kettle, raise the temperature, and slowly dehydrate the boric acid. When the temperature rises to 107.5 ℃, it will become metaboric acid (HBO2), and when it rises to 150~160 ℃, it will become tetraboric acid (H2B4O7). When the temperature is above 650 ℃, the melt will produce a lot of foam. Finally, the temperature will be kept at 800~1000 ℃, and the material will be burned and dehydrated until it turns red and no longer bubbles. The relative density of the melt is 1.52. At this point, start the wire drawing machine and control the temperature between 700-900 ℃ for wire drawing. Then cut and package the boron oxide wire on the wire drawing machine using a cutting machine to obtain the finished boron oxide product. The reaction equation is as follows:

2H3B03→B₂03+3H20

2. Vacuum method

 

 

Place boric acid in a stainless steel dish and bake in an oven for 1.5 hours, then raise the temperature to 150 ℃ and heat for 4 hours. During the heating process, it should be frequently flipped to ensure even dehydration. Then remove the material, cool it, crush it, and place it in a vacuum oven, keeping it sealed. Heat it at 220 ℃ for 1.5 hours, then raise it to 260 ℃ and heat it for 4 hours. Then cool and crush the material, place it in a tube furnace, control the heating temperature at 280 ℃, and dehydrate it under vacuum for 4 hours to produce boron oxide product.

3. Put the crystalline boric acid in a small dish.

 

 

Place boron trioxide in a drying reactor containing phosphorus pentoxide and heat it to 200 ℃ under vacuum to completely dehydrate it. The vacuum degree provided by the water vacuum pump is sufficient, but it is best to use a vacuum pump with a higher vacuum degree. It is important to slowly raise the temperature to 200 ℃, otherwise boric acid will melt and hinder further evaporation of water vapor. The larger the amount used, the longer the heating time at 200 ℃ should be, sometimes holding for more than 4 hours before complete dehydration. For 3g of boric acid, heating for 1 hour is sufficient. In addition, under the condition of maintaining a temperature not exceeding 200 ℃, the dehydration of boric acid can be carried out in a dry air flow. The dry air used is obtained by passing the air through sulfuric acid and then drying it through phosphorus pentoxide or porous barium oxide
