What's the difference between boracic and borax?

Boracic


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to, or produced from, borax; containing boron; boric; as, boracic acid.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) So Tomorrow's People is being paid for getting people "into work"; the company with this "work" is being paid, however boracic its accounts might look; the government departments are paying out.

Borax


Definition:

  • (n.) A white or gray crystalline salt, with a slight alkaline taste, used as a flux, in soldering metals, making enamels, fixing colors on porcelain, and as a soap. It occurs native in certain mineral springs, and is made from the boric acid of hot springs in Tuscany. It was originally obtained from a lake in Thibet, and was sent to Europe under the name of tincal. Borax is a pyroborate or tetraborate of sodium, Na2B4O7.10H2O.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) We found that in certain buffers, such as tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane-hydrochloride, boric acid-borax, and N-hydroxyethyl piperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid-sodium hydroxide, hemoglobins released from erythrocytes were easily precipitated by addition of Zn2+, thus resulting in a false inhibition of hemolysin by Zn2+ when hemolysis was assayed by measuring absorbance at 540 nm of released hemoglobins.
  • (4) Myelin staining was achieved with Harris' hematoxylin when sections were delipidized and were differentiated in either acid-formalin or borax-ferricyanide.
  • (5) Crude borax ore and kernite ore induced weak transformation that was not dose-dependent and was not reproducible in another experiment.
  • (6) Laboratory bioassays with Culicoides variipennis larvae from Borax Lake, CA, indicated an LC90 of 16.8 ppb for pyrethrins at 23 degrees C. A field test in a pond adjoining the lake reduced adult C. variipennis emergence greater than 99% for over 30 days after treatment at a rate of 131 ppb pyrethrins.
  • (7) In the first case we used Bathurin in combination with borax at a concentration of 1.3% for both substances.
  • (8) Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBSAg) adsorbed from sera onto colloidal silica could be completely eluted through the use of 0.25% sodium deoxycholate in 0.01 M borax, pH 9.3, at 56 degrees C. The HBSAg recovered in the eluate represented 100% of that present in the original serum, and it was contaminated by only trace amounts of serum proteins (in decreasing amounts: beta-lipoprotein, immunoglobulin G, albumin).

  • (12) Dibucaine was dispersed in the gel which was prepared by gelation of the konjac flour in a borax solution at 60 degrees.
  • (13) To overcome these deficiencies, 3 changes in the method were made: (1) the defatting step was modified to use sodium lauryl sulfate in combination with borax for better defatting; (2) 40% isopropanol was substituted for 60% ethanol as the aqueous phase for cleaner papers; and (3) mineral oil was substituted for n-heptane to improve hair recoveries.
  • (14) Borax dust appears to act as a simple respiratory irritant and perhaps causes small changes in the FEV1 among smokers who are heavily exposed.
