Total boron

The total boron (BT) is the sum of boron species in a solution. In the environment these species usually include boric acid and borate, for example:

BT = [H2BO−3] + [H3BO3]

where

  • BT is the total boron concentration
  • [H2BO−3] is the dihydrogen borate concentration
  • [H3BO3] is the boric acid concentration.[1]

In the early 21st Century, new methods of assessing and measuring the total boron were developed.[2][3][4]
