Abstract: Through the IE (industrial ecology) matrix system evaluation method resources depletion and environmental impact in the evolution of alkali carbonate process for borax preparation were studied with the relevant calculation model improved and relationship between factor (stage) and environmental effect plotted. The results showed that a chemical plant is as a whole running in an environmentally friendly way to a certain extent if taking the alkali carbonate process as its technologic strategy to prepare borax. It follows that there will be a better technologic framework with a potential room for further development in the later-period industrial environment planning to actively build and perfect an eco-industrial park for borax industry, where all plants will be running in such a way.
