MATERIAL
High Purity Boric Acid Production Technology
About
This high purity boric acid production technology, which has been registered with international patents, especially in the USA, proves Turkey's ability to produce a strategic end product with a very high added value from boron ore. This process, which has reached the THS 7 level, paves the way for the domestic production of a material that is fully dependent on foreign sources in critical sectors such as nuclear energy and electronics. The transformation of the technology into an industrial-scale investment has the power to be a turning point in Turkey's boron strategy and to create a significant export potential.
Product Overview
It is a national production process developed to produce ultra-high purity boric acid, which is needed by strategic sectors requiring high technology, such as the LCD glass industry and nuclear power plants (NES).
Product Name
High Purity Boric Acid
Product Type
Final Product (Chemical Substance)
Developer Research Groups
Materials and Process Technologies BY - Chemical Process Technologies AG
Production and Technology Status
Technology Readiness Level (THS)
THS 7
Current Status
There is no active production. The technology has been developed and proven at pilot scale, but no mass production facility is available.
Patent/Licensing Status
This unique process has been developed, TR2018/03636 (Turkey), PCT/IB2019/052075 (International) and most importantly US11,760,648 B2 (USA) registered with patents and protected at the international level.
Pilot Plant Production Capacity
300 kg/hour. This capacity is an indication of the industrial scalability of the technology.
Technical Capabilities and Product Features
The developed process results in a much purer, high value-added product than standard boric acid.
Product Purity
Minimum %99,99 saflıkta borik asit.
Maximum alkali content of 1 ppm (parts per million).
Maximum sulfate content of 1 ppm.
This level of purity ensures that the product can be used safely in even the most sensitive industrial applications.
- Nuclear Power Plants: It is used as a neutron decelerator in reactor coolant and as an emergency safety system in control rods. Purity is vital for reactor safety and corrosion control.
- LCD Glass Production: It is a critical component in the production of high quality and defect-free glass panels.
- Other Potential Areas: Production of fiber optic cables, special glasses and high-tech ceramics.
