Borates: Handbook of Deposits, Processing, Properties, and Use by Donald E. Garrett
Publisher: Academic Press; 1st edition (August 3, 1998) | ISBN: 0122760603 | Pages: 483 | PDF | 42 MB
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.
