WaterSolutions Boron

Naturally occurring, Boron appears in an oxidized form as boric acid and its salts. Boric acid is a very weak acid and acts much like silicate so it is difficult to remove from water. It has a very low selectivity for an anion exchange resin, so resin capacity will be limited by the presence of other anions.

Borate is a very "weakly held" anion so non-selective methods must remove all other anions before they will remove the borate. The more economical option is to selectively remove borate with DOWEX™ BSR-1/AMBERLITE™ PWA-10. The selective removal of boron (B) is accomplished by a reversible chelating mechanism that allows the removal of B to very low levels.
