Boron is the chemical element with atomic number 5 and the chemical symbol B.
Electron shell diagram for Boron, the 5th element in the periodic table of elements.
Boron is a metalloid elementwhich occurs abundantly in the evaporite oresborax and ulexite.
A low-abundance element in both the solar systemandthe Earth's crust, boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally-occurring compounds, the borate minerals.
These are mined industrially as evaporate ores, such as borax and kernite.
Industrially, very pure isolated boron is produced with difficulty, as boron tends to form refractory materials containing small amounts of carbon or other elements.
Boron is used mainly not as the element boron, but as compounds of boric oxide (B2O3)and boric acid (H3BO3).Most people have never seen elemental boron.
Boron minerals can be used in some sectors in the industry as crude minerals.
In general, their applications after refining and end-products are wider than crude ones.
Boron minerals, borates and compounds have a very wide range of applications.

Boron is a relatively rare element in the Earth's crust, representing only 0.001%.
The worldwide commercial borate deposits are estimated at 10 million tonnes.
Turkey and theUnited States are the world's largest producersof boron.
Boron does not appear on Earth in elemental form but is found combined in borax, boric acid, colemanite, kernite, ulexiteandborates.
Economically important sources of boron are rasorite (kernite) and tincal (borax ore).
They are both found in the Mojave Desert of California, but the largest borax deposits are in Central and Western Turkeyincluding the provinces of Eskişehir, Kütahya and Balıkesir.
The Turkish borate deposits in Western Anatoliaare located in five main districts: Bigadiç, Kestelek, Sultançayır, Emet and Kirka.
