help with Boron Carbide

Hello, I would like to know how I can produce boron carbide, on the internet it says that it is a reaction of boric acid with graphite at 2600 degrees Celsius, I already know how to get to that temperature, but, it really is just joining the acid with the graphite in the furnace and cook it? or is a pre-treatment or conditioning performed?
