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.

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%) has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before, Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
