A new boron-selective resin derived from guar gum.
A boron-selective resin has been prepared by cross-linking of a natural plant hydrocolloid (the polysaccharide guaran from guar seeds). Concentration and separation of boron can be achieved on this resin through completing of boron with the cis-hydroxyl groups in the polymer. The method has been applied to the determination of boron.
