...Wataru Nishiyasu; Atsushi Kyono Abstract Globally, borax is one of the most important borate minerals, both industrially and from a technological viewpoint. Despite its importance, there have been only a few reports on the structural changes of borax upon heating. In this study, we have...

... the interactions of borate with sulfate is important to modeling kurnakovite in salt lakes. For this purpose, I have re-calibrated our previous model ( Xiong et al. 2013 ) describing the interactions of borate with sulfate based on the new solubility data for borax in Na 2 SO 4 solutions presented here...

...Yongliang Xiong; Leslie Kirkes; Jandi Knox; Cassie Marrs Abstract In this study, solubility measurements were conducted for sodium polyborates in MgCl 2 solutions at 22.5 ± 0.5 °C. According to solution chemistry and XRD patterns, di-sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax) dissolves congruently...

... from non-marine evaporites now form the major commercial sources of borate – borax, colemanite and ulexite. These major commercial deposits are associated with Neogene volcanism in tectonically active extensional regions at plate boundaries. The most important continental borate provinces are located...

...Yongliang Xiong; Leslie Kirkes; Terry Westfall Abstract In this study, solubility experiments on sodium tetraborate (NaB 4 O 7 ·10H 2 O, borax) are conducted in NaCl solutions up to 5.0 m at room temperature (22.5 ± 1.5 °C). In combination with solubility data of sodium tetraborate in Na 2 SO 4...

...Tomohiro Ohuchi Abstract A new chemical etching technique has been devised for synthetic Fe-free peridotites composed of forsterite (Fo), enstatite (En), and diopside (Di) Among the etchants were acids, molten carbonates, and borates, but it was found that only molten anhydrous borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7...

...R. Arletti; E. Galli; G. Vezzalini; W.S. Wise Abstract Mazzite-Na, Na 8 Al 8 Si 28 O 72 ·30H 2 O, is a new zeolite mineral species occurring in basalt at the bottom of the open pit of the U.S. Borax mine at Boron, California. It crystallizes as white, very thin, flexible fibers up to 2 mm in length...

...Cahit Helvaci; Federico Ortí Abstract The Kırka borate deposit (Miocene), in western Turkey, the most important B 2 O 3 producer at present in the world, exhibits a symmetrical zonation in a lateral sense; it is comprised of: a central body of Na borate (borax), an intermediate zone of Na–Ca...
