Water Cleaning with Boron Nitride Nanosheets

Image Retrieved From: http://www.flowstob ay.org/node/789

Today, one of the most important problem is dumping millions of liters of oil from our waste water into the sea. Many traditional methods to clean the oil from water are expensive, unsafe and slow to proceed. By using Boron Nitride Nanosheets, cleaning the water can be more easy and quick. Boron Nitride Nanosheets absorb 33 times their weight in oil and also can be recycled.

Boron Nitride Nanosheets have large surface area consisting of some porous regions. Absorbing organic materials characteristic of Boron Nitride Nanosheet is resulted from the porous structure of the sheets which holds the oils or dyes inside. Another feature of the Boron Nitride Nanosheet is that saturated Boron Nitrate can be reused by heating in order to burn off the absorbed oil therefore Boron Nitride Nanosheets are ready to absorb further oil waste. Also Boron Nitrate Nanosheets are hydrophobic which means that Boron Nitride is easily separated from the water after the cleaning. As a result, porous Boron Nitride Nanosheet is a simple, economic and effective way to keep the water source and environment clean.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
