Abstract

Abstract : Boron carbonitride (BCN) nanofibers with rapid and efficient adsorption performance were prepared by electrospinning technology. Abstract : Boron carbonitride (BCN) nanofibers with rapid and efficient adsorption performance were prepared by electrospinning technology. TEM, XRD, XPS and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms were performed to study the microstructure of the nanofibers. The results showed that the BCN fibers synthesized at 1000 °C (BCN-1000) have good crystallinity and high specific surface areas (403 m 2 g −1 ). BCN-1000 nanofibers adsorb 70% of amino black 10B (AB-10B) within 10 minutes and reach adsorption equilibrium within 60 minutes. Compared with previous reports, it is found that the adsorption rate of BCN-1000 nanofibers to amino black (AB-10B) is much higher than that of other adsorbents. And BCN nanofibers exhibit a large adsorption capacity (625 mg g −1 ). In addition, the process of AB-10B adsorption on BCN nanofibers was systematically investigated, which was in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model.
