Boron oxide: 99% 30um
It is a colorless glassy crystal or
powder. Hard and brittle, the surface is smooth and odorless. It is stable to
heat, and it is not reduced by carbon when it is white, but alkali metal and
magnesium and aluminum can be reduced to monomer boron. At about 600 ° C, it
becomes a highly viscous liquid. The boric anhydride absorbs strongly in air to
form boric acid. Soluble in acid, ethanol, hot water, slightly soluble in cold
water. Boron oxide can be combined with several metal oxides to form a
borosilicate glass having a characteristic color. It is completely miscible
with alkali metal, copper, silver, lead, arsenic, antimony and antimony oxides.
The density of crystalline boron oxide
is 2.46 g/cm3, the density of amorphous boron oxide is 1.80-1.84 g/cm3, melting
point: 557 ° C, solubility: (g/100 gH2O): 1.1 (0 ° C), 15.7 (100 ° C) It is
very easy to absorb water, becomes turbid after moisture absorption, and is
also soluble in alcohol.
At a lower temperature, H3BO3 is
dehydrated to obtain crystals of boron trioxide. This crystal contains a BO4
tetrahedral structural unit having a density of 1.805 g·cm-3 and a melting
point of 450 °C. The glassy boron oxide has a density of 1.795 g·cm -3 and
gradually softens when the temperature rises. When it reaches the high
temperature of red heat, it becomes liquid and has a boiling point of 1500 ° C.
Boron is directly combined with oxygen to obtain B2O3.
