  By Neetu Saharan, Sakshi Chaudhary, Amit Kumar

  Abstract: Boron (B), a critical micronutrient, plays a vital role in various biological and industrial processes. This study provides a comprehensive review of the main boron minerals, including borax (sodium borate), kernite, colemanite, and ulexite, with a focus on their geological distribution, particularly in the Mojave Desert. These minerals serve as significant sources of boron, with tincal and rasorite emerging as key contributors to global reserves. Notably, the estimated global reserves …
