Magnetic water cleaning

Nachrichten aus der Chemie 2021
Marcus Halik, Marco Sarcletti, Dirk Zahn

Summary

Researchers demonstrated that rust (iron oxide) combined with nanoscience surface chemistry can effectively remove oil, nano- and microplastics, and herbicides from water using magnetic separation. This low-cost, sustainable approach could be applied for rapidly cleaning contaminated water bodies.

Abstract Hazardous water pollution caused by pure or chemically refined hydrocarbons – e.g., crude oil, nano‐ and microplastics, or herbicides – can be removed by rust. Nanoscience combined with chemical recognition motifs on surfaces enables an efficient and sustainable technique.
