Search Results - Boron

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Boron (pronounced /'b?r?n/) is the chemical element with atomic number 5 and the chemical symbol B. Boron is a trivalent metalloid element which occurs abundantly in the evaporite ores borax and ulexite.

Several allotropes of boron exist amorphous boron is a brown powder; whereas crystalline boron is black, extremely hard (about 9.5 on Mohs' scale), and a poor 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, insecticides and preservatives, and reagents for chemical synthesis.

Boron is an essential plant nutrient. Whereas lack of boron results in boron deficiency disorder, high soil concentrations of boron may also be toxic to plants. As an ultratrace element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats and presumably other mammals, though its physiological role in animals is not yet fully understood.

Boron is similar to carbon in its capability to form stable covalently bonded molecular networks. Even nominally disordered (amorphous) boron contains regular boron icosahedra which are, however, bonded randomly to each other without long-range order.[7][8] Crystalline boron is a very hard, black material with a high melting point of above 2000&_160;°C. It exists in four major polymorphs a, ß, ? and T. Whereas a, ß and T phases are based on B12 icosahedra, the ?-phase can be described as a rocksalt-type arrangement of the icosahedra and B2 atomic pairs.[9] It can be produced by compressing other boron phases to 12-20&_160;GPa and heating to 1500-1800&_160;°C; it remains stable after releasing the temperature and pressure. The T phase is produced at similar pressures, but higher temperatures of 1800-2200&_160;°C. As to the a and ß phases, they might both coexist at ambient conditions with the ß phase being more stable.[10][9] Compressing boron above 160&_160;GPa produces a boron phase with an as yet unknown structure, and this phase is a superconductor at temperatures 6-12 K.[11]

2. How Do Plants Get Nutrients in the Soil in a Biological Farming System?
July 31, 2009

Plants take up nutrient elements from the soil through their roots. Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in large amounts; very often, these elements are not available in adequate quantities in the soil. Other essential nutrients such as boron, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, sulphur, zinc and others are needed in smaller or trace amounts, and these are often adequately available. If nutrient elements, along with water, are not available in adequate quantities at the time the plant needs them, growth and development will be affected adversely. Biological farming sys...

3. Neodymium Magnets: Their Manufacturing Techniques, Processes and Applications
July 07, 2009

Neodymium magnets are rare types of magnets found on earth. They are considered permanent and are made out of a combination of alloys of iron, boron and neodymium. The mixture of these three alloys provides two more names for which the magnets are called ? the NIB magnet or the NdFeB magnet. Nd is the chemical symbol for neodymium, Fe is for Iron while B is for boron. Now, these magnets are also considered the strongest of all permanent magnets. In order to appreciate more about this industrial product, it pays to take a look at the manufacturing techniques and how it is produced. Fu... (read more)

April 16, 2009

Borax In type, boron combines to form boric acid and inert salts called borates and does not subsist by itself. Borax is a form of hydrous sodium borate that occurs in and regions, forming from the evaporation of salt lakes. It is also synthesised as a by-significance of borate deposit mining. It is naturally colourless, sallow, or light grey. Naturally stirring borax is translucent due to water in its form, but develops a white powder on its outward as the water evaporates. Borax has many uses in the current world, both at home and in business. In the home borax is worn as a laundry det... (read more)

17. Cancer Diet - Minerals
November 19, 2005

A cancer diet needs a good balance of minerals because minerals are needed by all cells for proper function. Patients are often found to be mineral deficient, so this is an area of the diet that needs particular attention. There are two classes of minerals. Macrominerals, such as the well known calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus, and microminerals, such as boron, chromium, copper, iron, iodine, germanium, sulfur, silicon, vanadium, zinc, manganese and molybdenum. The good news is we will get most of the minerals we need, provided we are eating a diet based on a ... (read more)
