Boron Nitride Nanoparticles

Boron Nitride Nanoparticles and Boron Nitride Nanopowder Applications Information about Boron Nitride  Boron nitride, consists of Boron and Nitrogen, is a heat and chemically resistant chemical compound with the chemical formula BN. Because of excellent thermal and chemical stability, boron nitride ceramics are traditionally used as parts of high-temperature equipment. Boron Nitride has four different structures that differ in the arrangement of boron and nitrogen atoms, but the most stable crystalline form of this compound is hexagonal form. Schematic of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) structure * Nanoparticles of Boron Nitride and Application Areas  The Nanoparticles of Boron Nitride are extremely fine powder. Because of its hardness, thermal and electrical properties, there are many areas that Boron Nitride Nanoparticles can be useful. It is not hard to say that Boron Nitride is an essential compound for industrial usage. Boron Nitride Nanoparticles have a...

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 sepa...
