PERFORMANCE OF BORON NITRIDE NANOSHEETS IN DYE ADSORPTION: A MINI-REVIEW

Abstract

Cleaning water before draining is necessary because of its harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems. Adsorption is an economically feasible and easy process that provides a good solution to remove toxic dyes from water. An adsorbent which can be used in dye adsorption have some features such as high adsorption, binding energy, and negative interaction energy. Carbon materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), silica, and titania are among the most used adsorbent for dye adsorption in the literature. Nowadays, 2D materials have a popularity. The study aims to point out the importance of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) in dye adsorption.
