High-performance, recyclable ultrafiltration membranes from P4VP-assisted dispersion of flame-resistive boron nitride nanotubes

Recyclable ultrafiltration membranes having high water flux and excellent size exclusion performance were fabricated from P4VP-assisted dispersion of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). The concept of thermally durable and reusable BNNT membrane suggests great potential to resolve important problems such as clogging (or fouling) and corresponding increase in energy consumption, which are common in water purification and ultrafiltration applications.241
