Özet

Boron is an important element for plants, humans, and animals in limited amounts. However, excess amounts can cause adverse effects in both humans and plants, necessitating its removal from certain systems. Boron compounds are used in many industrial applications, including in developing sectors like alternative energy technology; as a result, the need for this element is increasing and industries are looking towards boron recovery for the sustained use of this element in their products. While the literature on boron removal strategies is abundant, there is a relative lack of studies on boron recovery, with no review papers having yet addressed this topic. In this review, both boron removal and recovery techniques involving conventional approaches and membrane processes are examined to juxtapose the states of the science in these two related-and increasingly important-processes.
