I am studying magnetic nanoparticles in the cagulation process to adsorb emerging contaminants and would like to know the opinion of researchers in the field. What would be the best composition for this process?
Fe2O3 is not ferrite, but oxide of 3-valent iron. Fe2O4 is not magnetite. Magnetite has the formula Fe3O4. Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 powders can be used to remove contaminants from the surface of water and soil due to their magnetic properties.
