Latest News and Developments:

• June 2025: Researchers investigated the reaction kinetics of ulexite with CO₂ in methanol for the synthesis of trimethyl borate (TMB) in a pressurized reactor. The study varied temperature, pressure, solid-to-liquid ratio, particle size, reaction time, and stirring speed. Results showed higher temperatures and pressures accelerated dissolution, while larger particles and higher solid content slowed it. Surface aragonite CaCO₃ formation inhibited dissolution. The reaction followed the Avrami model with an activation energy of 21 kJ/mol, offering a potential method to sequester CO₂ in a stable form.

Product Description

Ulexite is a naturally occurring hydrated sodium calcium borate mineral with the chemical formula NaCaB5O6(OH)6·5H2O. It is commonly known for its fibrous crystal structure and optical behavior, which can transmit images through internal reflection. The mineral is an important source of boron and is processed for use in boric acid, borates, glass, ceramics, fertilizers, and specialty chemical production. Ulexite has low hardness, a white to colorless appearance, and moderate solubility in acidic solutions. In industrial applications, it is valued for its boron content, fluxing properties, and ability to improve thermal and chemical resistance in glass and ceramic formulations.
