Phase formation of LiB3O5 and other lithium borates in the multicomponent system NaF-B2O3-Li2O-MoO3.

Key Points

The aim is to study phase formation and crystallization behavior of lithium borates in a specific multicomponent system.
Analyzed primary crystallization regions of lithium borates in the NaF-B2O3-Li2O-MoO3 system.
Investigated ternary sections of LiB3O5-NaF-Li4Mo5O17 and LiB3O5-NaF-Li2Mo4O13.
Measured viscosity changes in the melt-solution system with varying NaF concentrations.
Lithium triborate crystals were successfully obtained from the NaF-Li4Mo5O17 solvent system.
Increasing NaF concentration resulted in higher viscosity of the solution.
Crystal yield improved with the addition of NaF, confirming its role in the crystallization process.

Abstract

Here the NaF-B2O3-Li2O-MoO3 system is studied by delineating regions of primary crystallization of lithium borates in the LiB3O5-NaF-Li2Mo4O13 and LiB3O5-NaF-Li4Mo5O17 ternary sections. Lithium triborate crystals are obtained from the solvent based on NaF-Li4Mo5O17. The addition of NaF to the melt-solution system has been shown to increase both viscosity and crystal yield.
