uoste211 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a way to obtain elemental boron, and the idea of thermite interested me. Because who doesn't enjoy fire? For my boron source, I plan to use boric oxide (B2O3). But have been toying with the oxidizer.I know I could easily just use aluminum powder or magnesium powder, but I had some manganese powder laying around and it made me wonder if it could be used in the thermite reaction. Manganese as an oxide (Mn2O3) is a great reducer for thermites but as the metal? I would love to hear what anyone thinks about this topic. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenbeier Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Check the redoxpotentiales. What do thing do you get a reaction with Mn and B2O3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
