Boron reclamation from neoprene matrix. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6881362

A process to recover enriched boron crystalline powder from a neoprene matrix was developed on a laboratory basis and was adapted for use in a reclamation facility. The process includes pyrolysis to break down the polymer, acid leaching to purify the powder, and dry sieving to adjust the particle size distribution of the powder. An estimated 98% of the powder is recovered.
