Abstract :In this study, the synthesis and characterization of potassium borate were studied using KCl, NaOH and H 3 BO 3  as 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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD); showed the synthesized sample was santite, which has the chemical formula KB 5 O 8 4H 2 O insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FT-IR); and Raman spectroscopy. The morphology of the synthesized samples was characterized using scanning electron microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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.
