Boron Soda
New Product
Aim:
reducing environmental effects of SO2 and CO2 (as a greenhouse gas),
achieving absorption of SO2 and CO2 in boron solutions
producing a mixture product with boron compounds and the Soda which is raw material input especially in glass industry.
Na-borate compounds containing soda is produced.

18. BORON IN IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY
New Product
A Cost Effective Solution
During steel production, Iron scrap is melted down in an electric arc furnace and then molten steel is poured into a ladle. After skimming the slag, it crumbles easily after a few days and becomes fine material like powder which is hydrophobic in nature and cause environmental problems.
For solving this problem we have cooperated with the companies and industrial scale testworks have been carried out in the iron and steel plant in Turkey.Our new boron product, was added to the molten slag in the ladle and found that the bulk density of the slag increased from 1,36 ton/m3 in the powder state to 2,64 ton/m3 in the compact state.
As a result of this study handling cost and environmental significantly impact is reduced.
