Borates

This reference covers industrially important borates, from deposits, through chemistry, mining, processing, and applications. It features modern theories on the origin of borate deposits, their molecular structure and descriptions of the world's borate deposits.

Boron is a naturally-occurring element. It is typically combined with other substances to form borates, including boric acid, salts of borates, and boron oxide. Boron is released naturally into the environment by oceans, volcanoes, and geothermal steam. It is also mined and used by many industries. Borates are used largely
