colorless orthorhombic double-cone crystals. The relative density was 1. 567. Soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. It is a stable solid at 0-90 °c. When heated to more than 90 ° C, the ammonia gas is released. When heated to 150 °c, 75% of the crystal water is lost and less than 1% of the ammonia is lost. At a temperature of 200 ° C. And a pressure of 133. 322Pa, only 4.85% of the crystal water was contained. At high temperatures is converted to boron oxide with a small amount of ammonia.
It is mainly used in telecommunication equipment, metal protection, glass manufacturing, wood processing, high temperature technology, fire retardant, detergent, medicine, mining and metallurgy, textile and other industrial sectors and scientific research fields.
The capacitor grade ammonium pentaborate is packed with two layers of polyethylene plastic bag and one layer of kraft paper bag plus polypropylene woven bag. 25kg net weight per bag. Should be stored in a cool, dry warehouse. Stay away from heat sources and fire types. The package is sealed, moisture-proof, and should be protected from rain and sunlight during transportation.

overview | ammonium pentaborate (tetrahydrate) chemical formula NH4B5O8 · 4H2O. Colorless orthorhombic bipyramidal crystals. Soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. It is stable at 0~90 ℃, and when heated to above 90 ℃, it decomposes and releases ammonia, which is converted into boron trioxide with a small amount of ammonia at high temperature. Ammonium pentaborate (tetrahydrate) can be made from boric acid and ammonia (or borax and ammonium chloride). |
use | ammonium pentaborate (tetrahydrate) can be used as boron compound intermediate, telecommunication equipment, fire retardant, detergent, glass manufacturing, wood processing, high temperature technology and medicine. Such as for the preparation of boron nitrogen co-doped porous carbon materials for supercapacitors. used in the manufacture of fireproof wood, fireproof textiles, telecommunications equipment and high-grade glass used as analytical reagent |
preparation | a co-production preparation method of ammonium tetraborate and ammonium pentaborate. the steps are as follows: 1. acid is recrystallized and purified; 2. Wean 28kg of concentrated ammonia water and put it into a stainless steel reactor; 3. Take 45kg of purified boric acid and slowly add it into ammonia water by stirring; 4. The temperature is controlled at 35±2 ℃, and the stirring speed is slow, the feeding speed should be slow; 5. After the acid is added, the solution is basically clear, and the stirring and heating are stopped; 6. The reaction kettle jacket is filled with water, cooled to 20 ℃, and stirred until a large amount of precipitation is precipitated, and the stirring is stopped and placed overnight (the temperature is controlled at 15±2 ℃);7. Take the solid precipitate, spin dry, collect the mother liquor, spin dry the solid, and dry naturally, that is, the finished ammonium tetraborate with 99% content, the yield is 85%, and other impurity items fully conform to the analytical purity (AR) specification; 8. Combine the collected mother liquor with the mother liquor left in the reaction kettle for testing. The mother liquor contains about 7% ammonium tetraborate; 9. Inject 49kg of 1:1 ammonia water into the above mother liquor and slowly add 55kg of purified boric acid under the same operating conditions as ammonium tetraborate. 10. After the boric acid is added, the reaction solution is basically clear, stop heating and stirring, the interlayer is injected with cold water to cool and stir. When the temperature is lower than 15 ℃, stop stirring, cool and leave overnight (the temperature is controlled at 12±2 ℃), and a large amount of precipitate is precipitated. 11. Take the precipitate and spin it dry. Collect the mother liquor, throw the dried solid into a dryer and dry it at 75 ℃, which is the finished ammonium pentaborate with 99% content and 90% yield. Other impurity items also fully meet the analytical purity (AR) specification. |
