Brief Overview
Borax (or sodium tetraborate decahydrate) is a white colored
inorganic powder having the formula Na2B4O7·10H2O or
Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2O. It is a compound of the element Boron and is
also a salt of the compound called boric acid. It occurs naturally
as Evaporite, or as a combination of various hydrates of borax.
Some of the major properties of borax are its high solubility in
water, its ability to produce a yellowish green colored flame when
ignited, it acts as a mildly alkaline salt, its good chemical
stability, and it has good buffering and fluxing properties.
Manufacturing Process
The most commercial methods for producing borax starts from the
usage of the natural minerals available in mines or lakes. The
slurry consisting of a mixture of minerals like ulexite,
colemanite, etc, are pumped to solar evaporation ponds. Impurities
such as sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium sulfate are
concentrated and crystallized and are removed either by filtration
or by rapid cooling to ensure selective crystallization. The
filtered brine is then reacted with sulphate cake derived from the
liquid-liquid extraction process product to get potassium sulphate
and potassium chloride, which are further precipitated. The
resulting solution is cooled such that borax pentahydrate is
precipitated from the remaining solution. This borax compound is
then redissolved, hydrated, and then filtered to finally produce
borax decahydrate.
What are the Uses of Borax?
Borax (or sodium tetraborate decahydrate) is a white-colored
inorganic powder having the formula Na2B4O7·10H2O. It is mainly
used in cosmetics, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals. Borax
decahydrate is also used as a cross-linking agent to emulsify waxes
and other paraffin that form the base for lotions, creams, and
ointments. Find other industrial applications of borax decahydrate
