Application

Borax Anhydrous can be used as a boron source to synthesize phase pure ZrB2 powder via a novel green silicothermic reduction method using ZrO2 and Si as raw materials. It is also used to prepare sodium borohydride, nano-sized titanium diboride, and alkali-activated borosilicate inorganic polymers.

The molecular structure of the sodium borate mineral ameghinite NaB(3)O(3)(OH)(4) has been determined by the use of vibrational spectroscopy. The crystal structure consists of isolated [B(3)O(3)(OH)(4)](-) units formed by one tetrahedron and two triangles. H bonds and Na atoms link

Carbohydrate epimerization is an essential technology for the widespread production of rare sugars. In contrast to other enzymes, most epimerases are only active on sugars substituted with phosphate or nucleotide groups, thus drastically restricting their use. Here we show that
