potassium borate were studied using KCl, NaOH and H <sub>3 </sub>BO <sub>3 </sub>as <sub> </sub>the starting materials. The effects of the boron precursor, reaction
temperature and time on the structure of the synthesized potassium borate were
investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed the synthesized sample was
santite, which has the chemical formula KB <sub>5 </sub>O <sub>8 </sub> </span> <span style="font-family:’Wingdings 2’;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"> <span> </span> </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">4H <sub>2 </sub>O (Powder diffraction file number:
01-1072-1688). The XRD scores increased upon decreasing the reaction
temperature and time. The characteristic band values observed for boron and
oxygen were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman
spectroscopy. The morphology of the synthesized samples was characterized using
scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The samples were found to be on the
micro-scale with particle sizes <2.54 µm. The reaction yields were in the
range of 75.01–95.03% for Set-1 and 72.04–92.22% for Set-2. </span> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Akademik Perspektif Derneği}
