The Chemistry of Borax on Glycerin
… of this paper is to explain how glycerin and borax react with water to produce an acid, and that the acid produced is not boric acid.|That borax and glycerin react with water to produce an acid clearly manifests itself in the presence of a bicarbonate by an effervescence that is most …

Elastic stiffening in PVA-Borax studied with experimental medium amplitude oscillatory shear
… (PVA) crosslinked with Sodium tetraborate (Borax), or PVA-Borax. We use medium amplitude oscillatory shear (MAOS) as a tool to measure asymptotically nonlinear viscoelastic material functions across a range of compositions of PVA-Borax with storage moduli ranging from $G_0 \approx …

Characterization of PVA-Borax-fructose gel for the capture of radioactive wastes generated during nuclear decommissioning activities
With the long-term objective of using polymer gels for the capture of solid, liquid and gaseous waste generated from decommissioning works, characterization of gel properties as well as the properties of the individual constituents of polymer gels has been completed. Characteristics of constituents …

The treatment of the epileptic insane by the administration of borax, belladonna, bromide of camphor, and bromide of potassium
Almost as far back as we have records of events the story of the disease called Epilepsy reaches. Long before Medicine, as we know it at the present day, took the shape which separated it from Witchcraft and Sorcery, civil writings incidentally spoke of it, or gave it a name which in its meaning …

Effect of Alternative Household Sanitizing Formulations Including: Tea Tree Oil, Borax, and Vinegar, to Inactivate Foodborne Pathogens on Food Contact Surfaces
… and Formica® laminate). Tea tree oil (TTO), borax, and vinegar (5% acetic acid) were applied individually as well as in combination for a total of seven treatment solutions. In addition, household bleach (6.15% sodium hypochlorite), sterile reverse osmosis (RO) water, and no applied treatment …

Determining the effects of alloy composition, forging technique, and flux on the strength of forge welds
… power hammer, and hand hammer. The fluxes were borax, fine silica sand, anti-borax, and no flux. Control tensile samples (un-welded) of each alloy, as received, were tested along with annealed samples. All testing was performed with an Instron 5984 Universal Testing Machine with 150kN capacity. …

Factors affecting drug distribution in granules.
… on the drug distribution in granules. These were borax/lactose, sodium salicylate/lactose, sulphadimidine/lactose, sodium salicylate/dibasic calcium orthophosphate (d.c.o.) and sulphadimidine/d.c.o. Water was used as the binder for the formulation containing lactose diluent and PVP binder for …

The adaption of powdered starch solutions for the stiffening of dark cottons with selected construction features
The suitability of powdered starch with borax or glycerine accessories for dark cottons of three different colors and weights and with selected construction gestures was ascertained. Selected colors, weights, and construction features were evaluated by analysis of variance for their effect on the …

Hydrothermal and ionothermal carbon structures
… the base of these reaction schemes, the mineral borax, is introduced as an additive for the hydrothermal carbonisation of glucose. It was found to be a highly active catalyst, resulting in decreased reaction times and increased carbon yields. The chemical impact of borax, in the following is …

The thermal conductivity of filler materials and permeability of a cement sealant for deep borehole repositories for high level nuclear waste
… granite, bentonite mud, salt, and dehydrated borax. The effects of air and helium as fillers for the void space of porous materials was also analyzed, along with convection effects in vertical and horizontal orientations. The procedure involved controlling the linear power (13, 50, and 190 …

Pathways to a Family of Low-Cost, High-Performance, Metal Matrix Composites Based on Aluminum Diboride in Aluminum
… of high aspect ratio AlB2 is demonstrated. Borax and B2O 3 were reacted with molten aluminum to prepare high aspect ratio AlB 2. The focus then shifts to further understanding the Al-B alloy system. Work on the Al-B alloy system concentrated on the Al(L) + AlB 2 → Al(L) + AlB12 …

Asymptotically nonliner oscillatory shear: theory, modeling, measurements and applications of nonlinear elasticity to stimuli-responsive composites
… (PVA) cross-linked by sodium tetraborate (borax). A transient network model with strain-stiffening elements is developed, and this predicts the asymptotically-nonlinear signatures of the PVA-Borax system that no other model predicts. The quantitative agreement provides fit parameters that …

Functional nanostructured hydrothermal carbons for sustainable technologies : heteroatom doping and superheated vapor
… synthesized using either the albumin directed or borax-mediated hydrothermal carbonization of glucose. Electrochemical testing showed that S/N dual doped CHS and aerogels derived via the albumin approach exhibited superior catalytic performance compared to solely nitrogen or sulfur doped …

Efficacy of Selected Powdered Floor Treatments and Turmeric Rhizome Powder Against Salmonella, E. coli, and L. monocytogenes on Polyurethane-Concrete Flooring Material Carriers
… and similar perhydrates (SPC), urea, and borax, were investigated for reducing the levels of pathogens on flooring thereby reducing the risk of cross-contamination from the floor to food contact surfaces. Some of the commercially available floor treatments were Environmental Protection …

A study of alternative techniques to mercury amalgamation for gold extraction in artisanal and small-scale gold mining
… these issues, alternative technologies such as borax smelting, the Gemini table, thiosulphate, cyanide, chlorine, and urea leaching, to name a few, have been developed or adapted over the years to substitute mercury. However, most of these technologies have not been successfully implemented in …

A Study Of Cyanide-Glycine Synergistic Lixiviant And The Igoli Process As Suitable Replacements For Mercury Amalgamation In Artisanal And Small-Scale Gold Mining
… methods such as shaking tables and roasting with borax have been put forward over the years, but their uptake has been very limited. The reasons for this poor uptake have never been systematically studied but it is thought that, among other reasons, it has to do with that some technologies are too …
