Boron, ESG and the Mining Industry

The ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework is growing in significance for mining companies, including those involved in boron extraction. ESG is a set of practices that mines have to comply with to ensure their future sustainability. It will become an integral part of every mining operation worldwide shortly. ESG compliance is difficult for some mines because it requires them to alter their production methods or management style. However, it is not only possible but necessary.

Boron Unlocks the Secrets of Life on Mars

Boron on Mars - Life on Mars

BORON on PLANET mars - PROOF OF EXTRA-TERRESTIAL LIFE? Many people are talking about the discovery of Boron on Mars. The discovery is a "breakthrough," and has many speculating what this means for the future of space exploration. While some scientists say that more research needs to be done before anything can be confirmed, others are praising NASA's efforts in exploring other planets and moons within our solar system.  Boron is a chemical element that has the symbol B and atomic number five. It was first discovered in 1808, but it had no name until 1847 when chemists called it boracium....

Boron Fuel Additives

Fluids, Fuel, Lubricants and Additives - Boron has been proven to be an excellent lubricant for engine components. University of Utah researchers found that parts coated with boron had 50% less friction than others. This may result in significant fuel savings and increased engine durability. Boron should become an essential ingredient in fuels and engine technology once its potential benefits are further clarified.

GUIDE TO BORON

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS

Boron Buffering

Buffer solutions are widely used in industry. Industrial processes require buffering solutions include fermentation, controlling dye processes and manufacturing pharmaceuticals. Potassium tetraborate is a great buffering agent. It can lower the pH level of strong alkalis. It can also be used in brazing fluxes, welding, and soldering. Potassium borates are dispersed in a finely divided state, which improves their anticorrosion and anti-wear properties in industrial and automotive lubricants. They are beneficial for heavier loads.

The Fascinating World of Tourmaline

Tourmaline is a group of boron silicate minerals with similar physical properties and a standard crystal structure but the minerals vary widely in chemical composition. A wide variety of compositions, trace elements, and shade facilities causes tourmalines to occur in more colors and color combinations than any other mineral group.

Ensuring Micronutrient Boron Supply

Famine is a natural disaster that occurs in underdeveloped countries, famine areas, and war-torn regions. In these regions, micronutrients such as boron are scarce or unavailable to the local population. The lack of micronutrients leads to malnutrition which can cause poverty and other issues such as disease and death. Here is a discussion on the importance of micronutrients for famine relief efforts. Check out their benefits for mental health, physical health, and economic development.
