• Resumen

  • According to the US Geological Survey's (USGS) latest available data, worldwide production of boron minerals reached 3.72m tonnes last year, up from 3.54m tonnes in 2013. "In Europe and developing countries, more stringent building standards with respect to heat conservation were being enacted," the USGS said, referring to boron mineral demand in 2014. "Consequently, increased consumption of borates for fibreglass insulation was expected. Continued investment in new refineries and technolo-gies and the continued rise in demand were expected to fuel growth in world production during the next several years."
