Mr. Ramli,
It is difficult from what you described, but I would believe that the boron could be removed with ion exchange resin. To be more definitive, I would need to review input chemical characterisitics, flow diagram with other treatment processes and your goal. Good luck. In general, Boron occurs in nature in its oxidized forms as boric acid and its salts. Boric acid is a very weak acid and acts much like silicate so it is difficult to remove from water. It has a very low selectivity for an anion exchange resin so resin capacity will be limited by the presence of other anions.
