In [3-5], however, it was noted that the scale of the short range order does not reflect all the complexity of
borate glasses, whose structure is characterized by the presence of the so-called superstructural units (boroxol rings, triborate rings, pentaborate groups, diborate groups, etc.) in the next hierarchical level (intermediate range order (IRO)).
Because of the low surface area--to--volume ratio and the large proportion of heartwood in large bridge timbers, pressure treatments with dissolved
borate will be unlikely to result in sufficient treatment penetration and retentions.
In industry sectors, halogen-free zinc
borates as flame retardants are interested.
In literature, despite the extensively reported synthesis of magnesium
borates, only inderite minerals' kinetic behavior has been studied.
Similar to magnesium
borates, zinc
borates have also been studied in the literature, and the formation temperature and time are given as 90[degrees]C and 4h, respectively.
When present in its oxidized form (
borate), boron may have played a key role in the formation of RNA, one of the building blocks for life.
Niban features a
borate mineral salt as its active ingredient combined with an irresistible bait made from corn cob granules mixed with oils, sugars and other food grade attractants.
For the past 50 years, gerstley
borate has been used by many potters.
Borates are the only class of preservatives that are colorless and capable of deep penetration in most Canadian species.
