Özet:

 

Magnesium borates can be used as detergent compounds or hydrocarbon  catalyzers and in the ceramics industry for superconductor material  manufacture owing to their high elastic coefficient and resistance to  corrosion at high temperatures. In the present study, the synthesis of  magnesium borate was facilitated via a novel ultrasonic method of mixing and  the identification and characterization of the material were carried out via  X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and Raman  spectroscopies, and the B2O3 content was determined through  titration. The surface morphology was investigated using scanning electron  microscopy (SEM). The results of the XRD analysis identified the synthesized  borate compounds as admontite [MgO(B2O3)3.7(H2O)],   with powder diffraction file (pdf) no  01-076-0540, and mcallisterite  [Mg2(B6O7(OH)6)2.9(H2O)], with pdf no 01-070-1902. The FT-IR and Raman spectra of the obtained samples were  similar, with characteristic magnesium borate bands observed in both the  infrared and visible regions. The results of the B2O3 content  analysis were in compliance with the literature. The investigation of the  SEM images indicated that nanoscale minerals with a reaction efficiency  ranging between 69% and 82% were obtained.
