This comprehensive reference is the first to cover industrially
important borates, from deposits, through chemistry, mining,
processing, and applications. The reference work begins with a
listing of the 238 currently known borate minerals, their formulas,
and properties. It features modern theories on the origin of borate
deposits, their molecular structure and detailed descriptions of
the world's borate deposits. Garrett describes the fascinating
history of the discovery and development of borate deposits with
anecdotes of how resourceful operators overcame obstacles in
obtaining their minerals. Chapters on mining technology and
processing detail the mineral's development from the earliest
recorded times up to the sophisticated operations of the present
day. The book also contains a comprehensive literature on boron
isotope chemistry, their diverse applications, and productions and
resource statistics for the world's largest industrial producers.
