Large-scale mining and mineral processing, as well as increasing industrialization, generate a significant volume of boron wastes (BWs), necessitating waste recycling management. This research proposes a conceptual framework for circular production design based on the increased utilization of commercially valuable BWs including large amounts of B₂O₃, CaO, and MgO. In this study, BW is a non-calcined waste, whereas BW40, BW50, BW60 and BW90 are boron wastes calcined at 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C and 900 °C, respectively. Chemical, structural, thermal, and morphological characteristics and alterations depending on the calcination temperatures of BWs are investigated using XRF, XRD, FTIR, TG-DTA, and SEM techniques. BW which is non-calcined boron waste comprises Ca[B(OH)₄]₂.2H₂O and HCaBO₃ crystalline phases, whereas BW40 treated at 400 °C has HCaBO₃ and CaCO₃ crystalline phases as well as amorphous structure. CaCO₃ and Ca₂B₂O₅ crystalline phases and amorphous structure are present in the BW50 and BW60 samples, calcined at 500 and 600 °C. At 900 °C, all phases were transformed into Ca₂B₂O₅ and CaB₂O₄ crystalline phases. We demonstrated that BW40, BW50, and BW60 have comparable chemistry and morphologies, but increasing calcination temperature to 900 °C resulted in a fundamentally different microstructure.

大规模采矿和矿物加工以及工业化程度的提高会产生大量的硼废物 (BW)，因此需要进行废物回收管理。这项研究提出了一个循环生产设计的概念框架，该框架基于增加对具有商业价值的 BW 的利用，包括大量的 B ₂ O ₃、CaO 和 MgO。在本研究中，BW 是未经煅烧的废物，而 BW40、BW50、BW60 和 BW90 分别是在 400 °C、500 °C、600 °C 和 900 °C 下煅烧的硼废物。使用 XRF、XRD、FTIR、TG-DTA 和 SEM 技术研究了取决于 BW 煅烧温度的化学、结构、热和形态特征和变化。BW是未煅烧的硼废物，包含Ca[B(OH) ₄] _{2 .2H 2} O 和 HCaBO 3_晶相，而在 400 °C 处理的 BW40 具有 HCaBO ₃和 CaCO ₃晶相以及无定形结构。CaCO ₃和 Ca ₂ B ₂ O ₅结晶相和无定形结构存在于 BW50 和 BW60 样品中，在 500 和 600 °C 下煅烧。在 900 °C 时，所有相都转化为 Ca ₂ B ₂ O ₅和 CaB ₂ O ₄结晶相。我们证明了 BW40、BW50 和 BW60 具有可比的化学和形态，但将煅烧温度提高到 900 °C 会导致显着不同的微观结构。
