Abstract

The results of equilibrium composition and total enthalpy computation in the temperature range of 1000 K to 6000 K and at pressure of 1 bar, for B-O-C-H system, are presented in the paper. These data enable temperature and energy parameters determination and optimization of the process for ultrafine boron carbide powder (B₄C) production, by boron oxide (B₂0₃) or boric acid (H₃BO₃) decomposition in an methane or propane-butane thermal plasma, followed by quenching with cold methane or propane-butane gas.
