Technical Description of boron metal powder

Nano boron powder and superfine boron powder are prepared by high frequency plasma gas phase method, with high purity, uniform particle size, good dispersion and no hard agglomeration.  Nano boron powder has several allotropes, amorphous boron is also called elemental boron, monomer boron.  Insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid, ethanol, ether.  It can be dissolved in cold concentrated alkali solution and decomposed into hydrogen, which is oxidized into boric acid by concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid.  Boron can interact with oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, halogens and carbon at high temperatures. Boron can also be directly combined with many metals to form borides.  Boron can react with organic compounds to form compounds with boron directly linked to carbon or compounds with oxygen between boron and carbon.  Boron is a dominant nonmetallic element with strong electronegativity, small atomic radius, nuclear charge concentration, and similar nonmetallic properties to silicon.
