    Interestings Facts AboutBoron

    Boron is a tough element very hard, and very resistant to heat. In

    its crystalline form it is the second hardest of all the elements on themohs scale only carbon (diamond) is harder.

    Boron is an essential nutrient for all green plants.

    Boron in its crystalline form is very unreactive. Amorphous boron isreactive.

    Unusually, the universes atoms of boron were not made by nuclearfusion within stars and were not made in the big bang. They weremade by nuclear fusion in cosmic-ray collisions. Most of the universesboron was made in this way before the formation of our solar system.

    Boron is used to control nuclear reactions. It is an excellent neutronabsorber. Alloyed with steel or reacted with carbon, titanium orzirconium, it is used in control rods for nuclear reactors.

Additionally,this process requires a very high energy use and the moldingmaterial. Composite materials is too hard, diamond teams

    Potential Use of Boron for Energy Production and Storage Tuncay USLU

    Productionand StorageFossil fuels (i.e., petroleum, natural gas, and coal), which meet most of the worlds energy

    demand today, are being depleted fast. Also, their combustion products are causing globalproblems, such as the greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion, acid rains, and pollution,

    which are posing a great danger for our environment and eventually for the life on ourplanet. Many engineers and scientists agree that the solution to these global problemswould be to replace the existing fossil fuel system by the Hydrogen Energy System.Hydrogen is a very efficient and clean fuel. Its combustion will produce no greenhousegases, no ozone layer depleting chemicals, little or no acid rain ingredients, and pollution(Veziroglu, 2003).

    Among the problems to be solved for the usage of hydrogen energy, how to storehydrogen energy easily and cheaply has been placed at the first position on the schedule.Hydrogen storage is a key enabling technology for the advancement of hydrogen andfuel cell power technologies in transportation, stationary, and portable power applications(Zeybek and Akn, 2005).

    Potential Use of Boron for Energy Production and Storage Tuncay USLU

    Productionand Storage

    In fuel cells, sodium boron hydride (NaBH4) can be used mainly in two ways; directlyor apart from the fuel cell to be used for hydrogen production when needed.

    Sodium borohydride has been commercialized by Millennium Cell as the Hydrogen onDemandTM process to generate hydrogen in a controllable heat releasing reaction ofNaBH4 and H2O at room temperature without high pressure and any side reactionsand hazardous by-product

    Although Hydrogen on DemandTM systems have a lot of advantages, there are someproblems about the system. It is still a costly method since the catalyst used iscomposed of very rare and expensive earth metal called ruthenium. Also, the NaBH4is itself expensive. A commercial success of this hydrogen carrier depends on reducingthe production cost of NaBH4 (Zeybek and Akn, 2005).

    27/54

    NaBH4/H2O2 Fuel CellsThat 4 moles of sodium metal

    is required to produce 1 moleNaBH4 is the major factoreffecting the production(Bilici,2004).At the present, it is

    approximately 80 Euro/kg(Zeybek and Akn, 2005).NaBH4 alone would costabout 40 times more thangasoline to travel the samedistance in a vehicle poweredby a fuel cell (Owen, 2005).

    Sodium borohydride is prepared industrially followingthe original method of Schlesinger: sodium hydride istreated with trimethyl borate at 250270 C:

    B(OCH3)3 + 4 NaH NaBH4 + 3 NaOCH3Millions of kilograms are produced annually, far

    exceeding the production levels of any other hydridereducing agent. Sodium borohydride can also beproduced by the action of NaH on powderedborosilicate glass.

    Why is NaBH4 costly to produce? Need 4 electrons, stored in 4 B-H bonds, used to reduce H2O

    and form H2 Need to combine 3 different elements + electrons + energyNa + B + H + electrons + energy (substantial entropic andenthalpic barriers) The complexity of the system leads to a stepwise process for

    SBH production. The NaBH4 price will always be driven by the price of primary

    energy Energy efficiency is key; any process has to be optimized to

    minimize wasted energy.

    Boron as an Engine Fuel

    Hydrogen and Boron as Recent Alternative Motor Fuels, Ayhan Demirba,

    Department of Chemical Engineering, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey,Published online: 20 Aug 2006.

    To ignite boron, it can be burnt in an environment of pure oxygen, and it has no

    other product than solid boron oxide, there are no other harmful pollutants oremissions. The unique compactness of boron means that it could easily have a

    transcontinental range. Its product, boria, needs to be recycled (decombustion) so

    it must be kept onboard until it can be swapped for more boron and reburnt.

    Boron has a very high energy density, much better than that of liquid hydrogen

    and also a lot safer. So it seems practical as a fuel for a vehicle. Unfortunately,

    boron is quite a limited resource and pure oxygen

    is expensive. Techniques are required for purifying air oxygen on board the

    vehicle and then the oxygen must be prevented from burning the motor along

    with the fuel.

    Boron neutron capture therapy

    BNCT is a tumor treatment based on theincorporation of the stable 10B isotope intocancerous cells. Subsequent irradiation with a fluxof thermal neutrons yields high-energy products

    with mean path length in tissues of a few microns.This distance is comparable with typical celldiameters. Therefore, selective destruction oftumors can be achieved without affecting nearby

    healthy tissues.
