- This process applies more particularly to the preparation of a borate which has the morphologies described above (parallelepiped or plate, sphere, cube) and a dispersion index of at most 0.8.
- the method uses as precursors of the rare earth (s) or doping elements included in the composition of the borate, a carbonate or a hydroxycarbonate of these rare earths or dopants. It is possible to start from a mixture of carbonates or hydroxycarbonates of rare earths and different dopants or carbonates or hydroxycarbonates mixed of rare earths and dopants.
- Rare earth carbonates or hydroxycarbonates are products known per se and which can be obtained for example by precipitation of one or more rare earth salts with carbonate or ammonium bicarbonate. These carbonates or hydroxycarbonates can be used directly at the end of the precipitation or after a possible washing and / or drying.

- the amount of water present in the reaction medium is such that the water / boric acid + carbonate mass ratio is at least 300%, more particularly at least 600%. This ratio can be even more particularly at least 1000%.
- the precipitate can be ripened in the reaction medium, preferably keeping the medium at the same temperature as that at which the reaction took place. It is also possible during this ripening to keep the pH of the ripening medium constant.
- This pH can be fixed at a given value which can be, for example, the pH value presented by the reaction medium just at the end of the reaction, that is to say at the end of the introduction of boric acid .
- This maintenance of the pH can be done by adding a base, for example by adding an ammonia solution.
- the ripening can last between 1 and 3 hours.
- the precipitate is then separated from the reaction medium by any known means, for example by filtration.
- the separated precipitate is optionally washed and then dried.
- One of the advantages of the process described is that it makes it possible to obtain a precipitate which can easily be filtered and washed. After drying, an additional wash can also be carried out with a dilute acid, for example nitric acid to remove possible traces of carbonate which has not completely reacted.
- the precipitate is then calcined.
- This calcination makes it possible to obtain the borate. It is generally carried out at a temperature between 500 and 1400 ° C, more particularly between 500 and 1100 ° C. It is quite possible to carry out this calcination in air. Of course, reductive (hydrogen for example) or neutral (argon) atmospheres or mixtures thereof can be used for this calcination.
- Calcination also makes it possible to develop the luminescence properties of the product. Calcination will be carried out at a higher temperature the higher the luminescence properties are desired.
- a variant of the calcination step can be mentioned.
- This variant consists in mixing the dried precipitate with boric acid, in a proportion of acid which can be of the order of 5% to 15% by mass for example.
- the calcination is then carried out at a temperature which can be between 900 ° C. and 1100 ° C. for example.
- This variant makes it possible to have a borate with good luminescence performance at a relatively low calcination temperature.
