Hi,
I'd like to prepare potassium tetraborate from boric acid and potassium hydroxide. I had read an article of Ressig, Strominger, Leloir about it (in Biol. Chem. 1955) but i found the direction isn't clear. Can you help me???
Thank

check United States Patent 2455595 for details
Alternatively, you can try to react boric acid with a weak base containing potassium
