The Use of amorphous boron powder
What is amorphous boron powder?Boron is well known as an advanced fuel in air-breathing propulsion systems due to its high gravimetric and volumetric heat value. This laboratory has developed a process at a pilot plant scale to prepare Amorphous Boron Powder (ABP) by the magnesiothermic reduction of B2O3 using the Self-propagating, High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) process. The crude boron produced (containing impurities such as B2O3, MgO, magnesium borides, magnesium corroborates, etc.) is crush
