Dry processing of borax by calcination as an alternative
#0183;#32;Beneficiation of borax, as most other boron minerals, is accomplished by scrubbing to remove the unwanted clay minerals, followed by some form of solidliquid separation (Lyday, 1992). Since borax is a highly soluble boron mineral, the saturated borax solutions together with clay and unrecoverable borax fines are collected in large ponds.
