The use of fluorspar in modern metallurgical slags, incl. slags of the argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) process, as a fluxing agent, is associated with many disadvantages. Those disadvantages can be solved by using boron oxide as an alternative, which also provides conditions for direct microalloying of steel with boron. The paper presents the results of thermodynamic modeling of the effect of basicity and boron oxide content in slags of the CaO–SiO2–B2O3–Cr2O3–Al2O3–MgO system on the equilibrium interphase distribution of sulfur and boron, and their equilibrium content in the metal. Modeling was carried out using the HSC 8.03 Chemistry software package (Outokumpu). Slag from the desulfurization period of the AOD-process was used as the oxide phase. As a result, it was shown that, in the range of basicities 2.0-2.5 and a content of 2-4% B2O3, it is possible to carry out desulfurization of the metal, providing a sulfur content of 0.001-0.007%, and simultaneous microalloying of steel with boron in an amount of up to 0.0103%.

In this study, barium stannate titanate ceramics with an addition of boron oxide were synthesized via a solid-state sintering method. The effect of sintering aid on electrical and mechanical properties of barium stannate titanate ceramics was investigated. It was found that, the ceramic with 2 wt% boron oxide showed the lowest porosity and the highest dielectric constant of ~ 13700 at room temperature. In addition, an increase in the boron oxide content was observed to enhance the hardness of the ceramics. These results may be helpful in the multilayer capacitor applications.

Boron oxide in the Na2O.P2O5-x B2O3 system behaves as a Lux base. Its addition to Na2O.P2O5 brings about transformation of a Co(II) indicator from octahedral to tetrahedral configuration, increase in the optical basicity ΛPb(II), increase in the relative basicity of the melt as determined by means of a galvanic cell, and depolymerization reactions releasing PO43- ions. In the Na2O-B2O3 system free of P2O5, boron oxide behaves as a Lux acid. The amphoretic nature of B2O3 is explained in terms of Lux's acid-base theory extended in analogy with the protolysis theory. The theoretical optical basicity values do not indicate the amphoretic behaviour of B2O3 because in this approach boron oxide is a priori regarded as more acidic than Na2O.P2O5.

The TiO2-Fe3O4 composite materials were fabricated via the hydrothermal-assisted technique. It was determined how the molar ratio of TiO2 to Fe3O4 influences the crystalline structure and morphology of the synthesized composite materials. The effect of the molar ratio of components on the antibacterial activity was also analyzed. On the basis of XRD patterns for the obtained titanium(IV) oxide-iron(II, III) oxide composites, the two separate crystalline forms—anatase and magnetite —were observed. Transmission electron microscopy revealed particles of cubic and tetragonal shape for TiO2 and spherical for Fe3O4. The results of low-temperature nitrogen sorption analysis indicated that an increase in the iron(II, III) oxide content leads to a decrease in the BET surface area. Moreover, the superparamagnetic properties of titanium(IV) oxide-iron(II, III) oxide composites should be noted. An important aim of the work was to determine the antibacterial activity of selected TiO2-Fe3O4 materials. For this purpose, two representative strains of bacteria, the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, were used. The titanium(IV) oxide-iron(II, III) oxide composites demonstrated a large zone of growth inhibition for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, it was found that the analyzed materials can be reused as antibacterial agents in three consecutive cycles with good results.
