Abstract

Boron is widely used in many areas. More than sixty percent of the world's boron deposits is in Turkey. In Emet colemanite plant, it is estimated that approximately 1.5 million tons of tailings are stored at the tailing ponds. B2O3 grade of the tail is 18-24 % and its particle size is -0.2 mm.
