  • PREVENTION OR SUPPRESSION OF CYRSTALLISATION OF BORIC ACID PRESENT IN AN AQUEOUS PHASE
    Publication number: 20150158810
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one compound comprising at least two hydroxyl functions, the compound being selected from alcohols, aminoalcohols, carboxylic acids and hydroxyacids, for preventing the crystallization of boric acid present in an aqueous phase, or for suppressing this crystallization when this crystallization has already been initiated. Applications: fields in which boric acid may be used and, in particular, those in which it is necessary to rapidly have available aqueous phases containing a high concentration of boric acid which do not include boric acid crystals, for example in the nuclear industry.
