Technical Document

Brief Overview
Boric acid, known by various names such as hydrogen borate, boracic acid, orthoboric acid, or acidum boricum, serves as a mild boron acid and is commonly utilized as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or a precursor to other chemical compounds. With the chemical formula B(OH)3, it presents itself in the form of colorless crystals or a white powder that readily dissolves in water. In its natural state as a mineral, it is referred to as sassolite.
Manufacturing Process

Boric acid can be produced through the reaction of borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) with a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid:
Na2B4O7·10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 B(OH)3 + 2 NaCl + 5 H2O

It is additionally generated as a by-product during the hydrolysis of boron trihalides and diborane:
B2H6 + 6 H2O → 2 B(OH)3 + 6 H2
BX3 + 3 H2O → B(OH)3 + 3 HX (X = Cl, Br, I)
