Abstract
A method of producing boron trichloride, which includes: a metal chlorination step of bringing a gas containing chlorine gas into contact with raw boron carbide as boron carbide including, as an impurity, a metal other than boron, and allowing the metal to react with the chlorine gas in the gas containing the chlorine gas, to form a metal chloride and to obtain boron carbide containing the metal chloride; a removal step of removing the metal chloride from the boron carbide containing the metal chloride, obtained in the metal chlorination step; and a generation step of bringing a gas containing chlorine gas into contact with the boron carbide from which the metal chloride has been removed in the removal step, and allowing the boron carbide and the chlorine gas in the gas containing the chlorine gas to react with each other to generate boron trichloride.
