Abstract

This study investigated an electrochemical method for recycling sodium metaborate (NaBO₂) to sodium borohydride (NaBH₄). Palladium (Pd), boron-doped diamond (BDD), gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) were used as electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to recycle the NaBO₂ either to NaBH₄ or to an intermediate material for making NaBH₄. The electrochemical products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as ¹¹B nuclear magnetic resonance (¹¹Be NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Borax was generated preferentially on the Pd and BDD electrodes compared with Pt only at a constant potential of + 1.54 V vs. Hg/HgO. An analysis of the XRD and FT-IR data clearly showed the formation of borax hydrate with a higher reactivity than NaBO₂.
