2. Boric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_acid

   Boric acid in equilibrium with its conjugate base the borate ion is widely used (in the concentration range 50–100 ppm boron equivalents) as a primary or adjunct pH buffer system in swimming pools. Boric acid is a weak acid, with p K a (the pH at which buffering is strongest because the free acid and borate ion are in equal concentrations) of ...

3. Borate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate

   Borate ions occur, alone or with other anions, in many borate and borosilicate minerals such as borax, boracite, ulexite (boronatrocalcite) and colemanite. Borates also occur in seawater, where they make an important contribution to the absorption of low frequency sound in seawater. [1] Borates also occur in plants, including almost all fruits. [2]

4. Borax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax

   Borax (also referred to as sodium borate, tincal (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k əl /) and tincar (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k ər /)) is a salt (ionic compound), a hydrated or anhydrous borate of sodium, with the chemical formula Na 2 H 20 B 4 O 17. [1] [a] It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to make a basic solution.

5. Borate mineral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate_mineral

   The Borate Minerals are minerals which contain a borate anion group. The borate (BO 3) units may be polymerised similar to the SiO 4 unit of the silicate mineral class. This results in B 2 O 5, B 3 O 6, B 2 O 4 anions as well as more complex structures which include hydroxide or halogen anions. [2] The [B(O,OH) 4] − anion exists as well.

6. Borate chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate_chloride

   The borate chlorides are chemical compounds that contain both borate ions and chloride ions. They are mixed anion compounds.Many of them are minerals. Those minerals that crystallise with water (hydrates) may be found in evaporite deposits formed when mineral water has dried out.
