Porous Boron Nitride

The formation and applications of porous Boron Nitride have been the subject of popular research lately. Its high porosity and thermal stability will help pave the way for improving large-scale industrial gas and liquid separations, such as those used in carbon capture or water treatment processes by reducing the amount of energy required.

Boron - Anti-corrosve

Corrosion is one of the most common problems faced by the industry. It can be caused due to different factors such as atmospheric conditions, humidity, etc. Boron being an extremely hard and refractory solid of high melting point, low density, and very low electrical conductivity which makes it an excellent choice for protecting against corrosion in many different applications especially in the industrial sector due to its properties like corrosion resistance, hardness, etc.  APPLICATIONS IN CORROSION PROTECTION The metal that keeps your car from rusting, the element in galvanic cells,...

Boron Fibers in Aviation

Boron Fibers in Aviation

Boron fibers are used extensively in military aviation as a tape product to repair cracked aluminium aircraft skins because of their thermal properties and anti-corrosive advantages. It was first developed in the late fifties and used instead of carbon fibers that were unavailable in continuous lengths and glass fibers or with sufficient modulus. Boron fiber was the preferred product for the horizontal tail skins on the F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft and the horizontal and vertical skins and rudder on the F-15 Eagle.

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS

Potassium Borates

Potassium Borates - Salts is a naturally occurring mineral. The ionising properties of borate salts can inhibit protein synthesis and disrupt the bacterial cell membrane. This can affect growth and function. This mineral can be toxic to humans and pets. It can also be used as a disinfectant. There are many uses for potassium borate salts.

Boron Citrate for Healthy Sex Life

Boron is thought to be effective in treating ED due to its ability to increase testosterone levels. Boron Citrate could boost brain cells and plasma testosterone levels increasing sexual desire. Boron is involved in the synthesizes of S-adenosylmethionine, important for neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and serotonin.

Country Profile of Bolivia

Bolivia is one of the largest producers of borates globally after Turkey, the USA, Chile, and Argentina. Extraction and production of ulexite is the main activity centered around the south of the country, with both public and private companies involved. Exports are mostly sodium borates and boric acid, with Brazil and China among the largest buyers.

Podcast – Boron and U.S. Rare Earths

Podcast - Today, we're going to take a look at boron and US rare earths and the stockpiling policy. The US is boosting the stockpile of its rare earth materials, such as cobalt and lithium. But why is this? The answer is partly to reduce dependence on China and partly to have a strategic policy towards rare earth sourcing and distribution.

Boron and Nuclear Fusion

Boron and nuclear fusion: Is Boron the key to Unlocking Energy via Nuclear Fusion? For the past eighty years, scientists have been exploring ways to capture energy to provide an inexhaustible supply of quasi-free, green energy. Boron via laser technologies, may finally provide the key to moving beyond the laboratory to commercialisation.
