  • Boron carbide - 10um particle size

    Controlled Product
    CAS:
    <p>Boron carbide is a hard, refractory material with high melting point. It is used in the production of ceramic and as a catalyst. Boron carbide has been shown to be effective in the treatment of wastewater due to its ability to adsorb organic matter and heavy metals. Boron carbide also has thermal expansion properties that make it suitable for use in various engineering applications. Boron carbide is composed of boron and carbon atoms, which interact through steric effects. The nitrogen atoms on the surface of boron carbide particles are responsible for its reactivity with other materials, such as silicon or zirconium oxide. The kinetic energy of the reaction mechanism can be determined by examining the surface methodology of boron carbide particles with a microscope.</p>
