Abstract

Abstract The present study was undertaken to investigate boron removal from the waste waters of borax and boric acid producing plants. A boron-specific resin, Amberlite XE 243, was selected for the present work. Experimental results show that the ion-exchange operations are effective in removing boron from the waste waters. The variation of boron concentrations in the effluents has been observed to depend, for various initial boron concentrations, C0, on the ratio of the filtrate volume to the volume occupied by resin. An empirical equation has been developed relating boron concentration, C, to filtrate and resin volumes V1 and V, respectively, as C = 2.34 × 10−6·C0(V)−0.043(V1)2.80
