Composition and particle size of superparamagnetic corrosion products in tap water

Water purification using magnetic assistance: A review

“…The colloids formed as a consequence of corrosion are potential superparamagnetic carriers of potentially hazardous species. While the chemistry of nanomaterials is unique for removal of many contaminants, the same properties interfere with cellular processes [186][187][188]. Nanoparticle wastes should be stored in a way that prevents interaction of nanoparticles with water.…”

Deposition of fine iron oxide particles in tap water using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique

“…The existence of fine iron oxide particles in tap water were also observed by previous researchers [8,10]. Fine particles within the nano-range (1-100 nm) are normally stable in liquid media as a suspension and normally difficult to be removed by normal filtration process (i.e ultra-filtration and micro-filtration) [11].…”

Magnetic Nanoparticles in Human Cervical Skin

“…Having been present in many organisms (10), MNPs may be expected to be found in various foodstuffs, which, when ingested, are probably absorbed into the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, drinking-water can contain MNPs (42). Ferrihydrite in soils deserves attention, since in its amorphous form, it can percolate into groundwaters and further into drinking-water (43), and magnetite crystal formation may occur by an abiotic mechanism (44).…”
