my country’s nuclear power industry is developing rapidly and the market demand for boron-10 acid continues to rise.

Natural boron is composed of two stable isotopes, namely boron-10 and boron-11. The relative abundance of boron-10 is about 20%. It has unique and strong neutron absorption and is an efficient thermal energy source. Neutron absorbers are used in the nuclear industry. Boron-10 acid is mainly used in military protection, nuclear industry and nuclear weapons in China. It can be seen that the development of efficient boron-10 acid will play a major role in the development and safe use of nuclear energy in my country, as well as in improving residents’ living standards.

At present, in the domestic nuclear industry, natural boric acid is still mainly used to control nuclear reactors, which is far from meeting the needs of the modern nuclear industry. Therefore, the boron-10 acid industry has good development prospects in the future. The enrichment of boron isotopes mainly uses boron chemical exchange distillation, boron low-temperature distillation, ion exchange resin method, laser separation method and electromagnetic method to extract isotopes. Currently, only chemical exchange distillation has achieved industrial production.

Industrial production of boron-10 acid uses boron trifluoride as raw material. Boron trifluoride has a wide range of applications, attracting many companies to deploy. Domestic production capacity of boron trifluoride continues to rise. However, there are few high-purity boron trifluoride production companies and small production capacity, which cannot meet market demand. The purity of boron trifluoride directly affects the production of boron-10 acid. Due to limitations in raw materials, the development of the domestic boron-10 acid industry is slow.

According to the “Boron-10 Acid Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2021-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center , on the application side, the main application demand of boron-10 acid is in the nuclear industry. In the nuclear industry, nuclear power has a high influence. With the reduction of global renewable resources, countries around the world encourage the development of new energy. The cost of nuclear power generation is relatively low, making it one of the important new energy power generation methods. The proportion of nuclear power generation will continue to increase in the future. With the development of the nuclear power industry, the demand for boron-10 acid applications has increased, and the industry has developed rapidly.

In addition to the nuclear power field, boron-10 acid is also used in the medical and defense fields. Although the application demand is small, it is irreplaceable. Benefiting from the development of terminal industries, my country’s boron-10 acid market demand is showing a rapid growth trend. However, in terms of production, industrial production of boron-10 acid is difficult, and the only company that can produce it on a large scale is Honghao Chemical. The current annual production capacity of Honghao Chemical’s high-abundance boron-10 acid is approximately 20 tons.

Industrial analysts said that boron-10 acid has special characteristics and can be used in the fields of nuclear industry, national defense and medicine, and has Irreplaceable. With the rapid development of the domestic nuclear power industry in recent years, the demand for boron-10 acid applications has continued to grow, and the industry has good development prospects. The technical threshold for producing boron-10 acid is relatively high, and there are few domestic companies capable of large-scale production. Honghao Chemical is more influential in the market. In addition to production technology limitations, the lack of boron-10 acid raw materials, especially the scarcity of high-purity boron trifluoride, also limits the development of the industry.
