Boron (B), Properties Of Boron

Properties:
Boron is a chemical element with atomic number 5. Boron is a dark powder that is scarce on earth. The biggest boron deposits are located in Turkey. Boron is usually used in chemical compounds. Boron forms stable covalent molecular bonds. Boron is considerably difficult to obtain boron’s pure material. The oxidation rate of boron relies on the particle size, crystallinity, purity and temperature. At room temperature air does not affect boron, but at higher temperatures boron burns and boron trioxide is formed. Boron has the oxidation state 3 in most compounds (with oxides, halides, nitrides, sulfides). Boron has two stable isotopes, ^ 11 B (80.1%) and ^10 B (19.9%). Boric acid, borax and boric oxide are the most vital compounds of Boron.
Applications:
Boron is used in Rocket fuel igniter
Boron is used in Pyrotechnic flares
Boron is used in Eye drops
Boron is used in Mild antiseptics
Boron is used in Washing powders
Boron is used in Tile glazes
Boron is used in Food preservative

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
