Boron is a weakly ionized impurity that may be present in some water sources. It can be more difficult to remove than many common dissolved salts because its ionization depends on water chemistry and pH.
Although boron is not always a major concern in every laboratory, it may be important in high-purity applications and in locations where feed water naturally contains boron.
Boron may come from:
The level of boron depends strongly on geographic location and feed water source.
Boron can pass through some purification stages more easily than fully ionized salts. In high-purity water applications, this can lead to contamination concerns if the system is not designed properly.
Boron contamination can cause:
Because boron behavior is pH-dependent, its removal may require specific system consideration.
Boron can be controlled using:
If boron is a known feed water concern, it should be evaluated before selecting the purification system.
Boron may affect:
