Calcium borate (Ca 3 (BO 3) 2). It can be prepared by reacting calcium metal with boric acid. The resulting precipitate is calcium borate. A hydrated form occurs naturally as the minerals colemanite, nobleite and priceite. [citation needed] One of its uses is as a binder in some grades of hexagonal boron nitride for hot pressing.

A borate is any of a range of boron oxyanions, anions containing boron and oxygen, such as orthoborate BO 3− 3, metaborate BO − 2, or tetraborate B 4 O 2− 7; or any salt of such anions, such as sodium metaborate, Na + [BO 2] − and borax (Na +) 2 [B 4 O 7] 2−.
Borax (also referred to as sodium borate, tincal (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k əl /) and tincar (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k ər /)) is a salt (ionic compound), a hydrated or anhydrous borate of sodium, with the chemical formula Na 2 H 20 B 4 O 17. [1] [a] It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to make a basic solution.
The Borate Minerals are minerals which contain a borate anion group. The borate (BO 3) units may be polymerised similar to the SiO 4 unit of the silicate mineral class. This results in B 2 O 5, B 3 O 6, B 2 O 4 anions as well as more complex structures which include hydroxide or halogen anions. [2] The [B(O,OH) 4] − anion exists as well.
Ulexite is a borate mineral because its formula (NaCaB 5 O 6 (OH) 6 ·5H 2 O) contains boron and oxygen. The isolated borate polyanion [B 5 O 6 (OH) 6] 3− has five boron atoms, therefore placing ulexite in the pentaborate group. Ulexite is a structurally complex mineral, with a basic structure containing chains of sodium, water and hydroxide ...
A metaborate is a borate anion consisting of boron and oxygen, with empirical formula BO − 2. Metaborate also refers to any salt or ester of such anion (e.g. salts such as sodium metaborate NaBO 2 or calcium metaborate Ca(BO 2) 2, and esters such as methyl metaborate CH 3 BO 2). Metaborate is one of the boron's oxyanions.
The orthoborate ion is known in the solid state, for example, in calcium orthoborate (Ca 2+) 3 ([BO 3] 3−) 2, [1] where it adopts a nearly trigonal planar structure. It is a structural analogue of the carbonate anion [CO 3] 2−, with which it is isoelectronic. Simple bonding theories point to the trigonal planar structure.
