What Is Borax? Borax is a mineral salt of boric acid found in the crust of the earth. Alternatively known as sodium tetraborate decahydrate or sodium borate, it is one of the most important sources of boron. Since its discovery, it has been widely used for industrial purposes as well as in the house. [1] Uses of Borax

using borax in the smelting process of ore material is that bo-rax reduces the melting point of metals and minerals. Under normal field circumstances small-scale miners cannot smelt gold, as they cannot create the high temperature required to smelt the ore. By adding borax to their concentrate, however, they can extract and smelt their gold.
