Abstract: Using CaCl2 and K2B4O7 as raw materials, K2O · CaO · 4B2O3 · 12H2O was synthesized from aqueous solution. Conditions were as follows: water 450 ml; mass ratio of K2B4O7: CaCl2 was 65:7.5; reaction temperature 45°C; stir speed 400 r/min; reaction time 3 h. The product was analyzed and characterized by chemical analysis, FT-IR spectra, X-ray powder diffraction and SEM. The result showed the reaction conditions were appropriate and varying reaction temperature affected growth inhibition of dissimilar K2O · CaO · 4B2O3 · 12H2O. K2O · CaO · 4B2O3 · 12H2O was a rhombic crystal about 4 mm long. The shape of K2O · CaO · 4B2O3 · 12H2O crystal was well and integrated.
