Boric acid , also called hydrogen borate , boracic acid , orthoboric acid and acidum boricum, is a weak, monobasic Lewis acid of boron often used as an antiseptic , insecticide, flame retardant , neutron absorber , or precursor to other chemical compounds. It has the chemical formula H3 BO 3 (sometimes written B(OH) 3 ), and exists in the form of colorless crystals or a white powder that dissolves in water . When occurring as a mineral , it is called sassolite .

Occurrence

Boric acid, or sassolite , is found mainly in its free state in some volcanic districts, for example, in the Italian region of Tuscany, the
Lipari Islands and the US state of Nevada . In these volcanic settings it issues, mixed with steam, from fissures in the ground. It is also found as a constituent of many naturally occurring minerals – borax , boracite, ulexite (boronatrocalcite) and colemanite . Boric acid and its salts are found in seawater. It is also found in plants, including almost all fruits.[1]

Medical

Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in dressings or salves. Boric acid is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash. Dilute boric acid can be used as a vaginal douche to treat
bacterial vaginosis due to excessive alkalinity,
[28] as well as candidiasis due to non-albicans candida. [29] As an antibacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. It is also used as prevention of
athlete's foot , by inserting powder in the socks or stockings, and in alcohol solution can be used to treat some kinds of otitis externa (ear infection) in both humans and animals. The preservative in urine sample bottles in the UK is boric acid.

Boric acid solutions used as an eye wash or on abraded skin are known to be toxic, particularly to infants, especially after repeated use; this is because of its slow elimination rate. [30]
