This comprehensive reference is the first to cover industrially important borates, from deposits, through chemistry, mining, processing, and applications. The reference work begins with a listing of the 238 currently known borate minerals, their formulas, and properties. It features modern theories on the origin of borate deposits, their molecular structure and detailed descriptions of the world's borate deposits. Garrett describes the fascinating history of the discovery and development of borate deposits with anecdotes of how resourceful operators overcame obstacles in obtaining their minerals. Chapters on mining technology and processing detail the mineral's development from the earliest recorded times up to the sophisticated operations of the present day. The book also contains a comprehensive literature on boron isotope chemistry, their diverse applications, and productions and resource statistics for the world's largest industrial producers. * Functions as a complete reference for geologists, engineers, and consumers of borate products * Includes crystallographic descriptions, solution chemistry, isotopic distributions, and other properties of 170 borate minerals * Provides detailed descriptions of mining and processing methods and economic uses * Includes statistical data on borate production, consumption, prices, and ore reserves for every country of the world * Provides an extensive bibliography * Author is an authority on industrial minerals through many years of consulting and process development work This comprehensive reference is the first to cover industrially important borates, from deposits, through chemistry, mining, processing, and applications.

* Author is an authority on industrial minerals through many years of consulting and process development work Since ancient times, people have used borates to make everything from glass to laundry detergent. Because these minerals have such a variety of uses, their availability often determined the fate of whole economies. Today borates are essential in the production of an array of products, including boric acid, enamel, ceramics, and high-tech superconductors. This comprehensive reference is the first to cover 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 detailed descriptions of the world's borate deposits. It also describes the fascinating history of the discovery and development of borate deposits with anecdotes of how resourceful operators overcame obstacles in obtaining their minerals. the intrusion of hydrothermal solutions ( accompanying magma ) into other formations, or the weathering or water entry and reaction at the outcrops, edges, or near faults of other borate deposits. Boron can form very different compounds by comparatively small changes in the solution's mineral content, concentration, pH, time to reach equilibrium, temperature, water availability or pressure.
