(Cl. 23-14) Matter enclosed in heavy brackets appears in the original patent but forms no part of this reissue specification; matter printed in italics indicates the additions made by reissue.
The present invention relates to a new process for the production of alkali metal borohydrides of boranates.
A number of publications describe the production of boranates and in these publications, boron halides, boron halide complexes, organic boron compounds or boric acid anhydride serve as the boron-containing starting materials. These materials are all expensive and some of them are difiicult to handle.
In copending application Ser. No. 704,362, which was filed December 23, 1957, in the name of Dieter Goerrig, Werner Schabacher, and Friedrich Schubert, now U.S. Patent 3,140,150, there is described a process for the production of boranates, wherein a hydride of one of the metals Al, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Li, Na, K, (Rb, Cs) is reacted with a compound selected from the group consisting of metaborates and metal oxide boron oxide mixtures of comparable composition of a metal of the above series which is not further to the left in the said series than the hydride metal, the reaction taking place at temperatures above 100 C. and below the melting point of the mixture, the 'boranate of the metaborate metal and the oxide of the hydride metal being formed.
In accordance with the present invention alkali metal borohydrides or boranates are produced by heating an alkali metal borate or an alkaline earth metal borate or mixture thereof or also mixtures of alkali metal oxide or alkaline earth metal oxide and boron oxide of the composition Me 02130 1:1 2 2 sl with an hydriding agent i.e. an alkali metal hydride or a mixture of an alkali metal and hydrogen to a temperature between about 100 and about 1000 C. To obtain optimum results the reactants are mixed in such a proportion that upon each atom of boron present in the reaction mixture at least four atoms of an alkali metal are present and four atoms of hydrogen. The reaction can be performed with or without the application of a superatmospheric pressure of hydrogen at temperatures between about 100 C. and about 1000 C. In most cases it is preferable to employ temperatures between about 300 C. and about 600 C.
As starting materials borate minerals such as borax or tinkal Na B O .10H O, kernite Na B O AH O, colemanite Ca B O .5H O, horonatrocalcite CaNaB O .6H O,
ulexite NaCaB O .SH O and b'oracite Mg Cl B O come into consideration. It is for the first time made possible by the present invention to obtain alkali metal borohydrides or boranates while starting from naturally occurring boraite minerals. It is self-evident that also synthetic mixtures of alkali metal oxides or alkaline earth metal Re. 25,777v Reissued May 11, 1965 lCe' oxides, or respective compounds yielding oxides during the reaction in admixture with boron oxide can be used as starting materials for the present invention. The yield of the reaction of an alkali metal borate or an alkaline earth metal borate with an alkali metal hydride or with an alkali metal and hydrogen can be improved if the reaction is carried out in the presence of certain additives. These additives can be divided into two groups:
(a) Substances which react chemically with the metal oxide formed. Examples are calcium chloride (formation of MeCl-i-CaO), and acid anhydrides, such as SiO In many cases it is advantageou to prepare a borosilicate by sintering or fusing for instance borax and quartz and react in a second step this glass or sinter with a mixture of e.g. sodium and hydrogen or sodium hydride.
(b) Chemically inert substances which dilute the reaction mixture; these also have a reaction-promoting effect. Common salt and feldspar are mentioned from the large number of substances to be considered for this purpose.
EXAMPLE 1 An intimate mixture of 201 g. of dehydrated borax ground in a ball mill, 368 g. of metallic sodium and 420 g. of extremely finely powdered quartz is heated for about 2-4 hours at 500 C. in a stirrer-type autoclave under a hydrogen pressure of 3 atm. The resulting reaction product is extracted with liquid ammonia. S0- dium boranate with a 96% NaBH content is obtained in an excellent yield upon evaporation of the ammonia.
Sodium metasilicate is formed as a secondary product in accordance with the equation:
Na B O 7N32Si03 which can profitably be (put to known industrial uses.
EXAMPLE 2 A11 intimate mixture of 201 g. of dehydrated borax ground in a ball mill, 368 g. of metallic sodium and 400 g. of feldspar is stirred for 4 hours at 450 C. in a stirrertype autoclave under a hydrogen pressure of 3 atm. The cooled reaction product is extracted with liquid ammonia. Sodium boranate with a NaBH, content exceeding 96% is obtained in an excellent yield upon evaporation of the ammonia.
EXAMPLE 3 400 grams of dehydrated borax and 850 grams of quartz powder are heated to a temperature between 1000 and 1100 C. fior 6 hours in a refiraotory crucible and cool-ed. The glass obtained is finely ground in a ball mill, then introduced together with 740 grams of sodium into a stirreratype autoclave and heated therein to a temperatune between 450 and 500 C. for 4 hours under a hydrogen pressure of 4 atmospheres. The reaction product is extracted with liquid ammonia. Sodium boranate is obtained after evaporation of the ammonia in an almost quantitative yield.
EXAMPLE 4 125.7 grams of calcium borate, 250 grams of quartz powder and 184 grams of sodium are heated first to 350 C. and intimately mixed in a stirrer-type autoclave, then heated to a temperature between about 450 C. and 500 C. for 4 hours under a hydrogen pressure of 4 atmospheres. After cooling the reaction. product, sodium boranate is extracted therefrom in a very good yield with liquid ammonia. Sodium boronate with a NaBH -content between 96 and 99% by weight is obtained after evaporating the ammonia.
EXAMPLE 5 260' grams of dehydrated ulexite NaCaB O are sintered together with 480 grams of quartz powder at about 1000 C. The product which is finely ground after cooling is heated in a stirrer-type autoclave together with 460 grams of sodium under a hydrogen pressure of 3 (4) atmospheres. At 390 C. a reaction sets in which can. be seen from a transient increase in temperatures to 540 C. The temperature is kept at 450 C. by appropriately heating. After the absorption of hydrogen is complete, the mixture is allowed to cool in a hydrogen atmosphere and the sodium boranate obtained in an optimum yield according to the equation is isolated as described in Example 1.
