white powder(s); prepared by fusion of CaCO3 and B2O3; used as a flux in metallurgy, in fire-retardant paint [MER06] [STR93] | [Uses]
- Calcium metaborate can be used as an additive to improve the performance of nickel-metal hydride batteries.
- It is used as a precursor to synthesize calcium hexaboride (CaB6) by electro-reduction that can be used as high capacity anode for aqueous primary batteries.
- It can also be employed in the preparation of calcium-doped borate glass for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD).
| [Flammability and Explosibility]
Notclassified | [Agricultural Uses]
The calcium salt of boric acid is called calcium borate.
Colemanite is a source of calcium borate,
(Ca2B6O11·5H2O),from which boron is extracted. It can
also be added to overcome boron deficiency. |
