However, some of its behaviour towards some chemical reactions suggest it to be tribasic acid in the Brønsted sense as well. Boric acid is often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or precursor to other chemical compounds. It has the chemical formula H3BO3 (sometimes written B(OH)3), and exists in the form of colorless crystals or a white powder that dissolves in water. When occurring as a mineral, it is called sassolite.Occurrence
Boric acid, or sassolite, is found mainly in its free state in some volcanic districts, for example, in the Italian region of Tuscany, the Lipari Islands and the US state of Nevada. In these volcanic settings it issues, mixed with steam, from fissures in the ground. It is also found as a constituent of many naturally occurring minerals – borax, boracite, ulexite (boronatrocalcite) and colemanite. Boric acid and its salts are found in seawater. It is also found in plants, including almost all fruits.

Boric acid was first prepared by Wilhelm Homberg (1652–1715) from borax, by the action of mineral acids, and was given the name sal sedativum Hombergi ("sedative salt of Homberg"). However borates, including boric acid, have been used since the time of the ancient Greeks for cleaning, preserving food, and other activities.reparation
Boric acid may be prepared by reacting borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) with a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid:

Na2B4O7·10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 B(OH)3 [or H3BO3] + 2 NaCl + 5 H2O
It is also formed as a by product of hydrolysis of boron trihalides and diborane:[4]

B2H6 + 6 H2O → 2 B(OH)3 + 6 H2
BX3 + 3 H2O → B(OH)3 + 3 HX (X = Cl, Br, I)
Properties
Boric acid is soluble in boiling water. When heated above 170 °C, it dehydrates, forming metaboric acid (HBO2):

H3BO3 → HBO2 + H2O
Metaboric acid is a white, cubic crystalline solid and is only slightly soluble in water. Metaboric acid melts at about 236 °C, and when heated above about 300 °C further dehydrates, forming tetraboric acid, also called pyroboric acid (H2B4O7):

4 HBO2 → H2B4O7 + H2O
The term boric acid may sometimes refer to any of these compounds. Further heating (to about 330 °C)[5] leads to boron trioxide.

H2B4O7 → 2 B2O3 + H
2O
There are conflicting interpretations for the origin of the acidity of aqueous boric acid solutions. Raman spectroscopy of strongly alkaline solutions has shown the presence of B(OH)−
4 ion,[6] leading some to conclude that the acidity is exclusively due to the abstraction of OH− from water:

B(OH)3 + H2O ⇌ B(OH)−4 +  H+ (K = 7.3×10−10; pK = 9.14) or more properly expressed in the aqueous solution:

B(OH)3 + 2 H2O ⇌ B(OH)−4 + H3O+
This may be characterized[7][8][9] as Lewis acidity of boron toward OH−, rather than as Brønsted acidity.

Polyborate anions are formed at pH 7–10 if the boron concentration is higher than about 0.025 mol/L. The best known of these is the 'tetraborate' ion, found in the mineral borax:

4 [B(OH)4]− + 2  H+ ⇌ [B4O5(OH)4]2− + 7 H2O
Boric acid makes an important contribution to the absorption of low frequency sound in seawater.

Reactions
With polyols containing cis-vicinal diols, such as glycerol and mannitol, the acidity of the boric acid solution is increased. With different mannitol concentrations, the pK of B(OH)3 extends on five orders of magnitude (from 9 to 4): this exacerbed acidity of boric acid in the presence of mannitol is also sometimes referred as "mannitoboric acid".[11] Greenwood and Earnshawn (1997)[12] refer to a pK value of 5.15 while a pK value of 3.80 is also reported in Vogel's book. This is due to the formation of a boron-mannitol chelate, [B(C6H8O2(OH)4)2]−, also known as mannitoborate complex, according to the following complexation reaction releasing a proton:

(mannitoboric acid)
boric acid
B(OH)3 + 2 mannitolC6H14O6
 ⇌ 
mannitoborate complex
[B(C6H8O2(OH)4)2]− + 3 H2O + H+
(pKa ranging from 4 to 9, depending on the mannitol concentration)
This feature is used in analytical chemistry to determine the boron content in aqueous solution by potentiometric titration with a strong base, such as NaOH.[12]

Boric acid also dissolves in anhydrous sulfuric acid:

B(OH)3 + 6 H2SO4 → B(HSO4)4− + 2 HSO4− + 3 H3O+
Boric acid reacts with alcohols to form borate esters, B(OR)3 where R is alkyl or aryl. A dehydrating agent, such as concentrated sulfuric acid is typically added:

B(OH)3 + 3 ROH → B(OR)3 + 3 H2O
A variety of salts are also known, involving the planar trigonal BO33– borate anion.

Molecular and crystal structure
The three oxygen atoms form a trigonal planar geometry around the boron. The B-O bond length is 136 pm and the O-H is 97 pm. The molecular point group is C3h.

Crystalline boric acid consists of layers of B(OH)3 molecules held together by hydrogen bonds of length 272 pm. The distance between two adjacent layers is 318 pm.Toxicology
Based on mammalian median lethal dose (LD50) rating of 2,660 mg/kg body mass, boric acid is only poisonous if taken internally or inhaled in large quantities. The Fourteenth Edition of the Merck Index indicates that the LD50 of boric acid is 5.14 g/kg for oral dosages given to rats, and that 5 to 20 g/kg has produced death in adult humans. For comparison's sake, the LD50 of salt is reported to be 3.75 g/kg in rats according to the Merck Index. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, "The minimal lethal dose of ingested boron (as boric acid) was reported to be 2–3 g in infants, 5–6 g in children, and 15–20 g in adults. [...] However, a review of 784 human poisonings with boric acid (10–88 g) reported no fatalities, with 88% of cases being asymptomatic."[15]

Long-term exposure to boric acid may be of more concern, causing kidney damage and eventually kidney failure (see links below). Although it does not appear to be carcinogenic, studies in dogs have reported testicular atrophy after exposure to 32 mg/kg bw/day for 90 days. This level is far lower than the LD50.

According to the CLH report for boric acid published by the Bureau for Chemical Substances Lodz, Poland, boric acid in high doses shows significant developmental toxicity and teratogenicity in rabbit, rat, and mouse fetuses as well as cardiovascular defects, skeletal variations, and mild kidney lesions.
At a 2010 European Diagnostics Manufacturing Association (EDMA) Meeting, several new additions to the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list in relation to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals Regulations 2007 (REACH) were discussed. Following the registration and review completed as part of REACH, the classification of Boric Acid CAS 10043-35-3 / 11113-50-1 is listed from 1 December 2010 is H360FD (May damage fertility. May damage the unborn child.)

Uses
Industrial
The primary industrial use of boric acid is in the manufacture of monofilament fiberglass usually referred to as textile fiberglass. Textile fiberglass is used to reinforce plastics in applications that range from boats, to industrial piping to computer circuit boards.

In the jewelry industry, boric acid is often used in combination with denatured alcohol to reduce surface oxidation and firescale from forming on metals during annealing and soldering operations.

Boric acid is used in the production of the glass in LCD flat panel displays.

In electroplating, boric acid is used as part of some proprietary formulas. One such known formula calls for about a 1 to 10 ratio of H3BO3 to NiSO4, a very small portion of sodium lauryl sulfate and a small portion of H2SO4.

Boric acid, mixed with borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) at the weight ratio of 4:5, is highly soluble in water, though they are not so soluble separately.[26] The solution is used for fire retarding agent of wood by impregnation.

It is also used in the manufacturing of ramming mass, a fine silica-containing powder used for producing induction furnace linings and ceramics.

Boric acid is one of the most commonly used substances that can counteract the harmful effects of reactive hydrofluoric acid (HF) after an accidental contact with the skin. It works by forcing the free F− anions into complex salts. This process defeats the extreme toxicity of hydrofluoric acid, particularly its ability to sequester ionic calcium from blood serum which can lead to cardiac arrest and bone decomposition; such an event can occur from just minor skin contact with HF.

Boric acid is added to borax for use as welding flux by blacksmiths.

Boric acid, in combination with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or silicone oil, is used to manufacture Silly Putty.

Boric acid is also present in the list of chemical additives used for hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania.[31] Indeed, it is often used in conjonction with guar gum as cross-linking and gelling agent for controlling the viscosity and the rheology of the fracking fluid injected at high pressure in the well. Indeed, it is important to control the fluid viscosity for keeping in suspension on long transport distances the grains of the propping agents aimed at maintaining the cracks in the shales sufficiently open to facilitate the gas extraction after the hydraulic pressure is relieved.[32][33][34] The rheological properties of borate cross-linked guar gum hydrogel mainly depend on the pH value.

Medical
Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in salves and dressings, such as boracic lint. Boric acid is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash. Dilute boric acid can be used as a vaginal douche to treat bacterial vaginosis due to excessive alkalinity,as well as candidiasis due to non-albicans candida.As an antibacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. It is also used as prevention of athlete's foot, by inserting powder in the socks or stockings. Various preparations can be used to treat some kinds of otitis externa (ear infection) in both humans and animals. The preservative in urine sample bottles in the UK is boric acid.

Boric acid solutions used as an eye wash or on abraded skin are known to be toxic, particularly to infants, especially after repeated use; this is because of its slow elimination rate.

Insecticidal
Boric acid was first registered in the US as an insecticide in 1948 for control of cockroaches, termites, fire ants, fleas, silverfish, and many other insects. The product is generally considered to be safe to use in household kitchens to control cockroaches and ants. It acts as a stomach poison affecting the insects' metabolism, and the dry powder is abrasive to the insects' exoskeletons. Boric acid also has the reputation as "the gift that keeps on killing" in that cockroaches that cross over lightly dusted areas do not die immediately, but that the effect is like shards of glass cutting them apart. This often allows a roach to go back to the nest where it soon dies. Cockroaches, being cannibalistic, eat others killed by contact or consumption of boric acid, consuming the powder trapped in the dead roach and killing them, too.

Preservation
In combination with its use as an insecticide, boric acid also prevents and destroys existing wet and dry rot in timbers. It can be used in combination with an ethylene glycol carrier to treat external wood against fungal and insect attack. It is possible to buy borate-impregnated rods for insertion into wood via drill holes where dampness and moisture is known to collect and sit. It is available in a gel form and injectable paste form for treating rot affected wood without the need to replace the timber. Concentrates of borate-based treatments can be used to prevent slime, mycelium, and algae growth, even in marine environments.

Boric acid is added to salt in the curing of cattle hides, calfskins, and sheepskins. This helps to control bacterial development, and helps to control insects.

pH buffer
Distribution between boric acid and borate ion versus pH assuming pKa = 9.0 (e.g. salt-water swimming pool)
Boric acid predominates in solution below pH 9
Buffer capacity of the boric acid - borate system versus pH assuming pKa = 9.0 (e.g. salt-water swimming pool)
Boric acid buffers against rising pH in swimming pools
Boric acid in equilibrium with its conjugate base the borate ion is widely used (in the concentration range 50 - 100 ppm boron equivalents) as a primary or adjunct pH buffer system in swimming pools. Boric acid is a weak acid, with pKa (the pH at which buffering is strongest because the free acid and borate ion are in equal concentrations) of 9.24 in pure water at 25 °C. But apparent pKa is substantially lower in swimming pool or ocean waters because of interactions with various other molecules in solution. It will be around 9.0 in a salt-water pool. No matter which form of soluble boron is added, within the acceptable range of pH and boron concentration for swimming pools, boric acid is the predominant form in aqueous solution, as shown in the accompanying figure. The boric acid - borate system can be useful as a primary buffer system (substituting for the bicarbonate system with pKa1 = 6.0 and pKa2 = 9.4 under typical salt-water pool conditions) in pools with salt-water chlorine generators that tend to show upward drift in pH from a working range of pH 7.5 - 8.2. Buffer capacity is greater against rising pH (towards the pKa around 9.0), as illustrated in the accompanying graph. The use of boric acid in this concentration range does not allow any reduction in free HOCl concentration needed for pool sanitation, but it may add marginally to the photo-protective effects of cyanuric acid and confer other benefits through anti-corrosive activity or perceived water softness, depending on overall pool solute composition.

Lubrication
Colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles of boric acid dissolved in petroleum or vegetable oil can form a remarkable lubricant on ceramic or metal surfaces with a coefficient of sliding friction that decreases with increasing pressure to a value ranging from 0.10 to 0.02. Self-lubricating H3BO3 films result from a spontaneous chemical reaction between water molecules and B2O3 coatings in a humid environment. In bulk-scale, an inverse relationship exists between friction coefficient and Hertzian contact pressure induced by applied load.

Boric acid is used to lubricate carrom and novuss boards, allowing for faster play.

Nuclear power
Boric acid is used in some nuclear power plants as a neutron poison. The boron in boric acid reduces the probability of thermal fission by absorbing some thermal neutrons. Fission chain reactions are generally driven by the probability that free neutrons will result in fission and is determined by the material and geometric properties of the reactor. Natural boron consists of approximately 20% boron-10 and 80% boron-11 isotopes. Boron-10 has a high cross-section for absorption of low energy (thermal) neutrons. By increasing boric acid concentration in the reactor coolant, the probability that a neutron will cause fission is reduced. Changes in boric acid concentration can effectively regulate the rate of fission taking place in the reactor. Boric acid is used only in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) whereas boiling water reactors (BWRs) employ control rod pattern and coolant flow for power control. BWRs use an aqueous solution of boric acid and borax or sodium pentaborate for an emergency shut down system. Boric acid may be dissolved in spent fuel pools used to store spent fuel elements. The concentration is high enough to keep neutron multiplication at a minimum. Boric acid was dumped over Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after its meltdown to prevent another reaction from occurring.[citation needed]

Pyrotechnics
Boron is used in pyrotechnics to prevent the amide-forming reaction between aluminum and nitrates. A small amount of boric acid is added to the composition to neutralize alkaline amides that can react with the aluminum.

Boric acid can be used as a colorant to make fire green. For example, when dissolved in methanol it is popularly used by fire jugglers and fire spinners to create a deep green flame much stronger than copper sulfate.
Agriculture
Boric acid is used to treat or prevent boron deficiencies in plants. It is also used in preservation of grains such as rice and wheat.

Boric acid, also known as boracic acid or orthoboric acid, is a naturally occurring compound containing the elements boron, oxygen, and hydrogen (H3BO3). Boric acid crystals are
 white, odorless, and nearly tasteless. It looks like fine table salt in the granular form or like baby powder in the powdered form.

Borates, the general term associated with boron containing minerals such as borax and boric acid, most commonly originate in dried salt lakebeds of deserts or arid areas 
(such as Death Valley, CA, Turkey, and China) or other geographic regions that expose similar deposits (such as the Andes Mountains in South America).

Boric acid crystals were first man-made in 1702 by Wilhelm Homberg who mixed borax and mineral acids with water. The evaporating water left crystals of boric acid and was often 
called “Homberg’s salt.” European researchers soon discovered the compound’s properties as a mild antiseptic and eyewash.

James Wright, a General Electric engineer searching for rubber substitutes during WWII, came upon a remarkable new material by mixing silicone oil with boric acid. The new compound
 had unique properties, acting very much like rubber. It could be stretched to many times its length without breaking and bounced 25% higher than a normal rubber ball. It could even 
pick up the images of most printed material. In 1949 the material was given the name Silly Putty® and it sold faster than any other toy at that time.

 

He wrote: ‘the resultant solution contains a balanced mixture of hypochlorite and polyborates of sodium with small amounts of free hypochlorous and boric acids.’

The sodium hypochlorite in the mixture is a powerful antiseptic. ‘The antiseptic action of boric acid has nothing to do with the employment of the acid,’ he noted. Its purpose was to act as a buffer to maintain the pH of the solution. The irritating action of any free caustic alkali formed in the preparation ‘would be at once neutralized by the boric acid or acid borates present in the solution.’

Boric acid is a white waxy solid that occurs naturally as sassolite, a mineral found in Tuscany in Italy and Nevada in the United States. The acid is manufactured by the reaction of sulfuric or hydrochloric acid with a sodium borate mineral such as borax or kernite, or the calcium borate mineral colemanite.

Boric acid has a multiplicity of applications. It is used, for example, as an oxidation catalyst and in the manufacture of cosmetics, domestic insecticides, and fire retardants for textiles.

The acid is poisonous if ingested in large quantities. Brief exposure, however, is less dangerous, according to a fact sheet published by the National Pesticide Information Center in the United States. ‘Boric acid is low in toxicity if eaten or if it contacts skin,’ it notes.

Its use in antiseptic preparations such as Dakin’s solution has declined over recent decades for a variety of reasons. The National Health Service in Britain advises that antiseptics should not be used to clean wounds as they may damage the skin. Tap water or saline solution should be used instead.

Overview
Boric acid, also called boracic acid or orthoboric acid or Acidum Boricum, is a mild acid often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, in nuclear power plants to control the fission rate of uranium, and as a precursor of other chemical compounds. It exists in the form of colorless crystals or a white powder and dissolves in water. It has the chemical formula H3BO3, sometimes written B(OH)3. When occurring as a mineral, it is called sassolite.

Preparation
Boric acid is produced mainly from borate minerals by the reaction with sulfuric acid. The largest source of borates in the world is an open-pit mine in Boron, California, USA.

Properties
Boric acid was first prepared by Wilhelm Homberg (1652-1715) from borax, by the action of mineral acids, and was given the name sal sedativum Hombergi ("sedative salt of Homberg"). The presence of boric acid or its salts has been noted in sea-water. It is also said to exist in plants and especially in almost all fruits (A. H. Allen, Analyst, 1904, 301). The free acid is found native in certain volcanic districts such as Tuscany, the Lipari Islands and Nevada, issuing mixed with steam from fissures in the ground; it is also found as a constituent of many minerals (borax, boracite, boronatrocaicite and colemanite).Boric acid is soluble in boiling water. When heated above 170°C it dehydrates, forming metaboric acid HBO2. Metaboric acid is a white, cubic crystalline solid and is only slightly soluble in water. It melts at about 236°C, and when heated above about 300°C further dehydrates, forming tetraboric acid or pyroboric acid, H2B4O7. Boric acid can refer to any of these compounds. Further heating leads to boron trioxide.

Boric acid does not dissociate in aqueous solution, but is acidic due to its interaction with water molecules:

B(OH)3 + H2O ⇌ B(OH)4− + H+
Ka = 5.8x10−10 mol/l; pKa = 9.24.
Polyborate anions are formed at pH 7–10 if the boron concentration is higher than about 0.025 mol/L. The best known of these is the tetraborate ion, found in the mineral borax:

4B(OH)4− + 2H+ ⇌ B4O72− + 9H2O
Crystal structure
Crystalline boric acid consists of layers of B(OH)3 molecules held together by hydrogen bonds. The distance between two adjacent layers is 318 pm.

Toxicology
While strictly speaking, Boric Acid is poisonous if taken internally or inhaled, it is generally not considered to be much more toxic than table salt (based on its mammal LD50 rating of 2660mg/kg body mass).[2]. The Thirteenth Edition of the Merck Index indicates that the LD50 of boric acid is 5.14 g/kg for oral dosages given to rats, and that 5 to 20 g/kg has produced death in adult humans. The LD50 of sodium chloride is reported to be 3.75 g/kg in rats according to the Merk Index. According to the Dutch Health Council(1998/19) Boric Acid should be regarded as if it impairs fertility in humans (R60).

However, it is toxic to unborn infants, and on the testicles of boys. Also, it has been associated with low birth weight, eye malformations and problems with the nervous system.

Uses
Medicinal uses
It can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in dressings or salves or is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash. (1.5% solution or 1 tbsp per quart of boiled water has been suggested for the latter.) As an anti-bacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. Boric acid can be used to treat yeast and fungal infections such as candidiasis (vaginal yeast infections) by inserting a vaginal suppository containing 600 mg of boric acid daily for 14 days (PMID 10865926). It is also used as prevention of athlete's foot, by inserting powder in the socks or stockings, and in solution can be used to treat some kinds of otitis externa (ear infection) in both humans and animals. The preservative in urine sample bottles (red cap) in the UK is boric acid.

Boric acid has the distinction of being the only known acid that is actually beneficial (rather than harmful) to the eyes, and as such is used by ophthalmologists and in some commercial eye drops.

Insecticidal use
Boric acid was first registered as an insecticide in 1948 by the EPA for control of cockroaches, termites, fire ants, fleas, silverfish, and many other insects. [3] It acts as a stomach poison affecting the insects' metabolism, and the dry powder is abrasive to the insects' exoskeleton.

Boric acid may be used either in an insect bait formulation containing a feed attractant or as a dry powder. The powder may be injected into cracks and crevices, where it forms a fine layer of dust. Insects travel through the boric acid dust, which adheres to their legs. When the insects groom themselves, they then ingest the poison, which causes death three to ten days later of starvation and dehydration.

Preservative Use
In combination with its use as an insecticide it also prevents and destroys existing wet and dry rot in timbers. It can be used in combination with an ethylene glycol carrier to treat external wood against fungal and insect attack. It is possible to buy Borate impregnated rods for insertion into wood via drill holes where damp and moisture is known to collect and sit. It is available in a gel form and injectable paste form for treating rot affected wood without the need to replace the timber. You can buy concentrates of Borate based timber treatments which can be sprayed or dipped. Surface treatments prevent slime, mycelium and algae growth even in marine environments. There is a wide range of manufacturers of wood preservers based on boric acid/ borate mineral salts.

In the jewelry industry, boric acid is often used in combination with denatured alcohol to reduce surface oxidation and firescale from forming on metals during annealing and soldering operations.

It is also used in the manufacturing of remming mass, a fine silica-containing powder used for producing induction furnace linings and ceramics.

Miscellaneous uses
Borates including boric acid have been used since the time of the Greeks for cleaning, preserving food, and other activities.

Silly Putty was originally made by adding boric acid to silicone oil. Now name-brand Silly Putty also contains significant amounts of elemental silicon (silicon binds to the silicone and allows the material to bounce 20% higher).

Lithium borate is the lithium salt of boric acid and is used in the laboratory as buffer for gel. TBE buffer is widely used for the electrophoresis of nucleic acids and has a higher buffer capacity than a TAE Buffer. It can be used for DNA and RNA polyacrylamide and agarose gel electrophoresis.

It is used in pyrotechnics to prevent the amide-forming reaction between aluminum and nitrates. A small amount of boric acid is added to the composition to neutralize alkaline amides that can react with the aluminum.

Boric acid is popularly used among fire jugglers and fire spinners dissolved in methanol to give a deep green flame.

It is also used in India and across the world to dust down Carrom boards to decrease friction and increase speed of play.

Boric acid is also used in special effects. When Boric Acid is combined with an alcohol (usually ethanol), it produces a green flame when burned.


Boric acid (H3BO3), also known as [b(OH)3] or H3BO3, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as miscellaneous borates. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest
 metallic oxoanion is borate, to which either no atom or a non metal atom is bonded. Boric acid (H3BO3) is a drug. Boric acid (H3BO3) is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral)
compound (based on its pKa). Boric acid (H3BO3) exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, boric acid (H3bo3) is found, on average, 
in the highest concentration in pomegranates. boric acid (H3bo3) has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as figs, french plantains, and redcurrants.
 This could make boric acid (H3bo3) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It has limited use as an antibacterial agent in caviar. Boric acid (H3BO3) is a potentially
 toxic compound. No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). INGESTION: do not
 induce vomiting. INHALATION: supply fresh air. Boric acid (H3BO3) also called hydrogen borate, boracic acid,
 Boric acid (H3BO3) is a weak acid of boron often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or precursor to other chemical compounds. When occurring as
 a mineral, it is called sassolite. If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention.

What is boric acid and its use?

Boric acid (H3BO3) is an antiseptic, pesticide and a weak fungicide. It always be used for insect control, wood preservative in furniture industry, glass industry and also in
 medical field.

What is preservative?

Preservative means any substances that, when added to food, is capable of inhibiting, retarding or arresting the process of decomposition, fermentation or acidification of such 
food but shall not include herb, spice, vinegar or wood smoke.

What are the preservative that allowed in Food Regulations 1985?

Food Regulations 1985 only allowed certain preservatives (sulphur dioxide, benzoic acid; propionic acid, also its sodium, potassium, calcium salt; sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, 
potassium nitrate and potassium nitrite) and antimicrobial (chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide) in certain food. Hence, oric acid is not included in the list.

Under the Food Law, is it an offence to use boric acid in food and what is the penalty?

Use of boric acid in food violated Sub Section 13 (1) Food Act 1983 which stated that “Any person who prepares or sell any food that has in or upon it any substance which is poisonous, 
harmful or otherwise injurious to health commits an offence and shall be liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or to both”.

What are the foods that always contain boric acid?

Although boric acid is not allowed in food, it had been found in pasta type of food such as yellow noodles, kueh teow, laksa, loh se fun, wantan noodles, Hokkien noodles, bee hoon, 
spring roll wrappers and bak chang.

The presence of boric acid in food or food product is due to unethical attitude of some greedy food producer without considering the safety aspect of food to the consumer. Boric acid 
is used by these food producers to extend the product shelf-life and its freshness.

What are the side effects if boric acid present in food?

Individuals who ate food that contained high level of boric acid will experience nausea, vomiting diarrhea, dermatitis, abnormal function of kidney, acute dysfunction of blood circulation
 and death, depends to the level of boric acid absorbed by the body.

How to detect the presence of boric acid in the foods?

Analysis using turmeric water is a crude test to detect the presence of boric acid, however the test is not a confirmatory test. It can give a false positive result. In mee processing for example, additional of soda water (Natrium bicarbonate) have been used to get the expected texture. The reaction between soda water and turmeric can cause a changing of color from yellow to red. Therefore, the presence of boric acid can only be confirm through lab analysis.

Advise to consumers

Consumers are advised not to use turmeric water as a test to verify the presence of boric acid. Consumers should report to any nearest District Health Ofiice, State Health Department 
or through Food Safety and Quality Division website (http://fsq.moh.gov.my) pertaining to suspicious of boric acid presence in food.


Boric acid Formula
Boric acid is a weak inorganic acid with antiseptic properties, and is also called boracic acid or orthoboric acid.

Formula and structure: The chemical formula of boric acid is H3BO3 (or B(OH)3). Its molecular formula is BH3O3, and its molar mass is 61.83 g/mol. The chemical structure of boric acid is shown below:

The central boron atom is connected to three hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which are capable of strong hydrogen bonding. Its solid crystalline structure consists of parallel layers of boric acid held together in place by hydrogen bonds.

Occurrence: Boric acid occurs naturally in volcanic areas, and in certain minerals such as borax (as sassolite). It is also found in sea water, plants, and fruits in small amounts.

Preparation: Boric acid is prepared by reacting minerals such as borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O), with strong acids like HCl:

Na2B4O7·10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 H3BO3 + 2 NaCl + 5 H2O

It can also be prepared by the hydrolysis of boron trihalides (such as BBr3) or diborane (B2H6):

BBr3 + 3 H2O → B(OH)3 + 3 HBr

B2H6 + 6 H2O → 2 B(OH)3 + 6 H2

Physical properties: Boric acid is a white crystalline solid with a density of 1.435 g/mL, melting point of 170.9 °C and boiling point of 300 °C.

Chemical properties: Boric acid is a weak monobasic acid, and is considered a Lewis acid. It dissolves in boiling water and in anhydrous sulfuric acid. When heated to high temperatures (over 170 °C), it undergoes dehydration to form metaboric acid (HBO2):

H3BO3 → HBO2 + H2O

Uses: Boric acid is non-toxic with antibacterial properties, and it is mainly used as an antiseptic agent, acne treatment, preservative, insecticide, pH buffer, swimming pool chemical, flame retardant, and a precursor to many useful chemicals. It is used industrially for the manufacture of fiberglass, household glass products and the glass used in LCD displays.

Health hazards/ health effects: Low concentrations of boric acid does not pose any toxicity. However, boric acid is poisonous if swallowed or inhaled in large quantities. 
High concentrations of boric acid can potentially lead to reproductive problems. Exposure to boric acid over long periods of time can cause possible kidney damage

Borik asit, aynı zamanda borasis asit, ortoborik asit ya da hidrojen borat; genellikle antiseptik, böcek ilacı ve koku gidericilerde kullanılan beyaz kristal renkli, suda çözünen
 bir inorganik asit. İlk olarak Wilhelm Homberg tarafından bulunmuş olup, sülfürik asidin yan ürünü olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.

Kolemanitten borik asit üretimi
Türkiye'de borik asit, kolemanitten üretilmektedir. Üretimi Eti Maden İşletmeleri Genel Müdürlüğü yapmaktadır. Üretim prosesi temelde, kolemanitin sülfürik asit ile reaksiyonu sokulmasından ibarettir. Aşağıda gösterildiği gibi, reaksiyon sonucu jips ve borik asit oluşur. Üretim sırasında oluşan jips, çevre kirlilğine sebep olmaktadır.

Ca2B6O11.5H2O + 2H2SO4 + 6H2O → 2CaSO4. 2H2O + 6H3BO3

Üretimde öncelikle, kolemanitin boyutu <0,2 mm olacak şekilde, değirmenlerde öğütülür. Öğütülmüş kolemanit, sülfürik asitle reaksiyona sokularak çözeltiye alınır. Bu reaksiyon 80-100 oC'de gerçekleşir.

Filtrasyon
Kolemanit asitle çözeltiye alındıktan sonra, kimyasal reaksiyon sebebiyle jips çamuru oluşmaktadır. Bu jipsin ortamdan uzaklaştırılması için çözeltiyi basınçlı filtrelerle süzmek gerekir. Bu amaçla, iki aşamalı süzme yapılır. İlk aşamada tüm çözelti 15-20 dk. boyunca süzülür. İlk aşamadan geçmiş olan süzüntü, ikinci aşamada ise başka bir basınçlı filterede 3 saate yakın süzülür. Bu aşamalar sonucunda elde edilen jips çamuru artık havuzuna gönderilir.

Kristalizasyon
Filtrasyon sonrası elde edilen kolemanit çözeltisi, sabit bir debi ile kristalizatöre beslenir. Kristalizatöre gelen çözelti, özel spreylerle püskürtülerek, kristalizatöre yayılır. Bu şekilde, oluşan kristallerin boyutu arttırılarak, işlemin daha verimli devam etmesi sağlanmış olur. Kristal boyutlarının etkilendiği faktörler ise:

Beslenen çözeltinin yoğunluğu
Çözelti içindeki katılar
Besleme hızı
Santrifüj
Çözelti kristalizatöre 80-90 °C sıcaklıkta girdikten sonra 40-45 oC sıcaklıkta çıkarak santrifüje beslenir. Santrüfüjde, çözelti kristalleriden ayrılır.

Kurutma
Santrifüjden çıkan kristaller bir miktar nemlidir. Ürün bu şekilde nemliyken satışa sunulamaz. Bu amaçla, akışkan yataklı kurutucularla kurutulması gerekmektedir. Bu tür kurutucularda, dışarıdan alınan hava, belli bir sıcaklığa kadar ısıtıldıktan sonra, kurutucu içine döşenmiş olan malzemeye alttan verilir.

Kurutucudan çıkan ürün torbalanarak satılır.

ısıtıldığında ise camsı bor trioksit halini alır. Borik asit, sodyum peroksit ile reaksiyona girerse beyazlatıcı olarak kullanılan perokseborat elde edilir.

 

Borik asit mineraller halinde bulunabilir fakat daha çok çözeltiler de bulunur. Ayrıyetten buhar püskürten volkanların yakınlarında da bulunur. Borik asit, laboratuvarlarda, 
bor halojenürlerin hidrolizinden elde edilir. Ticari amaçlı borik asit, boraks çözeltisine klorür ya da sülfürik asit ilavesiyle elde edilir. Ticari amaçlı borik asit %99.9 
safkanlıktadır.

 

Kolemanitten Borik Asit Üretimi, Borik asit Türkiye'de, kolemanitten üretilmektedir. Üretimi, Kolemanitin sülfürik asit ile reaksiyona sokulmasından oluşmaktadır. Üretimde 
kolemanitin boyutu 0,2 mm şeklinde, değirmenlerde öğütülür. Öğütülmüş olan kolemanit, sülfürik asitle reaksiyona sokularak çözeltiye alınır. Bu reaksiyon 80-100 santigrat derecede 
gerçekleşir. Çözeltiye alındıktan sonraki aşamaları;
 

Filtrasyon; Kolemanit asit ile çözeltiye alındıktan sonra, kimyasal reaksiyon nedeniyle jips çamuru oluşmaktadır. Bu jips çamurunun ortamdan uzaklaştırmak için çözelti basınçlı 
filtrelerden süzülür. Bu sebeple iki aşamalı süzme yapılır. İlk aşamada tüm çözelti 15-20 dakika süzülür. İkinci aşamada ise basınçlı filtrede 3 saat kadar süzülür. İşlem sonunda 
oluşan madde havuza gönderilir.
Kristalizasyon; Filtrasyondan sonra oluşan kolemanit çözeltisi, sabit bir debi ile kristalizatöre beslenir ve kristalizatöre gelen çözelti özel spreyler ile püskürtülerek, 
kristalizatöre yayılır. Bu şekilde, oluşan kristallerin genişliği arttırılarak, işlemin daha verimli ilerlemesi sağlanmış olur. Kristal boyutlarının etkilendiği etkenler; 
Beslenen çözeltinin hacmi, beslenme hızı çözelti içindeki katılar.
Santrifüj; Çözelti kristalizatöre 80-90 santigrat derece sıcaklıktan girdikten sonra 40-45 santigrat derece sıcaklıkta çıkarak santrifüje beslenir. Santrifüjde ise, çözelti 
kristallerinden ayrılır.
Kurutma; Santrifüjden çıkan kristaller nemlidir. Bu yüzden akışkan yataklı kurutucularla kurutulur. Bu tarz kurutucular da, dışarıdan alınan hava, belli bir sıcaklığa gelinceye 
kadar ısıtıldıktan sonra, kurutucu için yerleştirilmiş olan malzemeye alttan verilir.
 

Borik Asit Kullanım Alanları, Borik asidin en önemli kullanımı boron ve boraks bileşikleri gibi tuzların eldesidir. Yanmaz kumaşlarda, ısıya dayanıklı camlarda, deri üretiminde,
 elektroliz banyolarında, çelik sertleştiride ve porselen parlatma da kullanılır. Aktiviral ve antisept
