Are there treatment plants that treat water contaminated with boron?
Boron is used in many human activities, the most intensive are: detergent manufacturing, wood treatment for its preservation, glass and porcelain manufacturing, soldering, silvering and many metallurgic processes. That is to say, boron is an element in common use in industry and that as such generates considerable water body pollution. The solutions for cadmium, silvering, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc that use BF4 have an equivalent in boron concentration between 16,000 and 33,000 mg/L. Even in drainage water measured levels are up to 6 mg/L. However despite this relatively high frequency in the occurrence of boron in water, and given the high concentrations of boron which are cycled in water courses, the world literature does not present many treatment technologies for boron. There is a distillation and steam condensation method and then passage of the condensate through ceramic-filled columns. Water containing 20,000 mg/L of boron is reduced to less than 3 mg/L. However this method
