Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Borax, also known as sodium, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and the salt of boric acid. It is usually a white powder consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water. Borax occurs naturally in evaporate deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. Borax can also be produced synthetically from other boron compounds. Naturally occurring borax is refined by the process of re-crystallization. |
