High Purity Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder CAS 12007-99-7, 99%

Description of Calcium Hexaboride Powder ：

Calcium hexaboride is a grayish-black solid, stable at high temperatures in air, insoluble in hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and dilute sulfuric acid, and does not react with water. It is characterized by high density, melting, and boiling points. At room temperature of 15℃, it is insoluble in water. Calcium hexaboride is highly reducible and can react with strong oxidants like fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric acids at high temperatures. However, at high temperatures in the air, it does not react with nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.

Technical Parameters of Calcium Hexaboride (CaB6) Powder

Application of Calcium Hexaboride Powder ：

High-temperature structural materials: Calcium hexaboride has the characteristics of high density, high melting point, and high boiling point, making it an ideal high-temperature structural material. In high-temperature furnaces, high-temperature reactors, and high-temperature processing equipment, calcium hexaboride can be used to manufacture high-temperature components and coatings to improve the equipment's high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. 

Electronic and optical materials: Calcium hexaboride exhibits excellent electrical and low thermal conductivity, making it an ideal optical and electronic material. Calcium hexaboride can manufacture high-temperature semiconductor materials, laser crystals, and high-temperature optical Windows in electronic and optoelectronic devices. 

Ceramic additives: Calcium hexaboride can improve ceramic materials' hardness and wear resistance, making it an effective ceramic additive. In the ceramic industry, calcium hexaboride can be used to manufacture ceramic products with high strength and high wear resistance. 

High-pressure synthesis catalyst: Calcium hexaboride has strong reducibility, making it an effective high-pressure synthesis catalyst. Calcium hexaboride can make high-purity borohydrides and other chemicals in high-pressure chemical reactions. 

Nuclear energy: Calcium hexaboride also has important applications in nuclear energy. It can be used to make new types of nuclear fuel and radioactive tracers to improve the efficiency and safety of nuclear reactions.

Production Method of Calcium Hexaboride Powder ：

Gas phase reaction is the most commonly used method, usually performed under high temperature and high-pressure conditions. The advantage is that the equipment used in the preparation process is relatively simple and easy to operate and automate. The reaction temperature is generally carried out above 1000 ° C, the reaction pressure is generally normal or high, and the reaction time is generally several hours to tens of hours. Carrier gas must be added in the reaction process to remove the reaction products and provide the heat and pressure required. The tail gas treatment and exhaust gas purification must be done after the reaction. 

The liquid phase reaction method needs to be synthesized in a specific solvent, and the solvent is generally alkaline liquid compounds such as tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran, cyclobutane, etc. The temperature of the reaction is usually achieved above 100 degrees C, and the duration of the reaction is usually a few hours to 10 hours. The advantage of this method is that the equipment used in the preparation process is relatively simple and easy to operate and automate. Still, the solvent is volatile and fires, which greatly impacts the environment. 

The solid phase reaction rule needs to be carried out under high temperature and high-pressure conditions and is generally heated by electric heating or flame heating methods. The reaction temperature is generally carried out above 1000 ° C, and the reaction time is generally several hours to tens of hours. The advantage of this method is that the equipment used in the preparation process is relatively simple and easy to operate and automate. Still, the reaction speed is slow, requires a lot of energy for heating, and it is easy to produce volatile gases to pollute the environment.
