Abstract

Aim: The element boron, discovered in 1808, has many properties and can be used in glass, detergent, pharmaceutical, chemical industry, fire retardant production, agriculture, ceramic metallurgy, energy storage, water treatment, pigment and dryer, car interior airbags, hydraulic brake. It draws attention with its diversity of usage areas. During the production and processing of boron mineral, waste product is also produced in addition to boron. For this purpose, scientists carried out activities for the evaluation of boron waste. They have tried methods that can provide the use of boron wastes. Method: In this study, researches that tested the usability of boron wastes in existing scientific studies were included. Findings: The applicability of existing scientific data for concrete pavement in ceramics, precious metals recovery, road material, gypsum board, porous aggregate, asphalt in order to recycle waste to economy was examined in the study. Conclusion: In line with the collected data, it was desired to draw attention to the current situation of boron wastes in recent years. It is thought that this study will bring together the recovery methods of all boron wastes as a whole and contribute to the literature on a large scale and pave the way for new studies.
