Magnetic nanoparticles are a class of nanoparticle that can be manipulated using magnetic fields.Such particles commonly consist of two components, a magnetic material, often iron, nickel and cobalt, and a chemical component that has functionality. While nanoparticles are smaller than 1 micrometer in diameter (typically 1–100 nanometers), the larger microbeads are 0.5–500 micrometer in ...

Magnetic separation devices use a magnet to remove impurities, contamination and other magnetic materials from metal powder. Elcan is the only tolling company in North America that carries the Eriez Magnetics DVMF separator which is considered the strongest magnet in the world...

A ferrofluid is a stable colloidal suspension of sub-domain magnetic particles in a liquid carrier. The particles, which have an average size of about 100Å (10 nm), are coated with a stabilizing dispersing agent (surfactant) which prevents particle agglomeration even when a strong magnetic field gradient is applied to the ferrofluid.

The nine different main requirements the magnetic-targeted carrier should possess are the following: 1) Sufficient magnetic moment to overcome drag and yield forces. 2) Superparamagnetism to prevent agglomeration and embolism. 3) Biocompatibility to prevent toxicity, enhance cell survival and reduce inflammatory responses.

Birefringent effect dependent on magnetic intensity and wavelength in a water-based Fe 3 O 4 magnetic fluid over the wavelength range of 400 – 700 nm is studied in this letter. The results are compared with the theory proposed by Llewellyn [J. Phys. D 16, 95 (1983)], in which the optical anistropic properties of the magnetic fluid due to the aggregation of the particles at a relatively low ...

We present a method for the synthesis and precise size control of magnetic nanoparticles in a reversible magnetic agglomeration mechanism. In this approach, nanoparticles nucleate and grow until a critical susceptibility is reached, in which magnetic attraction overcomes dispersive forces, leading to agglomeration and precipitation.

The controlled agglomeration of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) was used to rapidly switch their magnetic properties. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering showed that tailored iron oxide nanoparticles with phase-changing organic ligand shells agglomerate at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C.

Magnetic separation has been used in industries to concentrate or remove magnetic minerals/particles for many years. The separation of ultrafine magnetic particles is significantly influenced by aggregation between particles due to various external and interparticle forces, such as gravity, magnetic attraction, van der Waals, electrical double-layer, hydrodynamic, and Brownian …

The influence of magnetic attraction (Fe(0) content) on NZVI agglomeration and deposition in porous media is assessed by comparing the deposition behavior of PSS-modified NZVI (magnetic) having different Fe(0) contents with PSS-modified hematite (nonmagnetic) with the same surface modifier.

Agglomeration of magnetic colloids upon interaction with bioanalytes results in an increase or decrease of MRI intensity, thus showing their potential capability as a contrast agent and forms the base of detection . In the case of combinatorial thin-film gradients, agglomeration was due to the self-assembly of particles rather than interaction ...

Finally, the influence of agglomeration on magnetic properties and heating efficiency have been studied through changes in the pH or the salt content of the medium, which affects the colloidal stability of nanoparticle dispersions and can be controlled, to some extent, in order to prepare agglomerates of defined average sizes [45, 53]. Inter ...

Therefore, simply by choosing the correct surfactant, the size and magnetic properties of iron nanoparticles can be tailored for a particular application. With the continuous addition of the precursor solution, we can repeat the steps of nucleation, growth, and magnetic agglomeration indefinitely, making the approach suitable for large scale ...

Abstract: Magnetic seeding agglomeration (MSA), i.e., adding magnetic seeds and a low intensity pre-magnetization for fine agglomeration, was applied to the flotation of coal, pyrite and hematite ore slimes. Size analysis and flotation tests highlight that the MSA improved flotation recovery and kinetics of pyrite ore while causing some loss in selectivity, and in the presences of the ...

The adsorption of lactoferrin, bovine serum albumin, and lysozyme to these ion exchange particles was evaluated and showed a binding capacity of up to 135 mg/g. The dual-responsive particles combined magnetic and thermoresponsive properties for switchable agglomeration, easy separability, and efficient protein adsorption.

However, too high remanence and coercivity of magnetic nanoparticles will lead ...

This methodology is used to study individual Fe 3 O 4 NPs in the presence and absence of a magnetic field. It is first noticed that no major NP agglomeration occurs in the absence of a magnetic field even in a suspension of high ionic strength. In contrast, a significant magnetic field-induced agglomeration of NPs is observed in a magnetic field.

We have investigated the agglomeration of magnetite nanoparticles in the aqueous solution under magnetic field by measuring temporal change of magnetic weight. The magnetic weight corresponds to the force due to the magnetization of magnetic materials. Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles are synthesized and used in this work. When the aqueous solution of magnetite nanoparticle is placed ...

Abstract. Biologically formed nanoparticles of the strongly magnetic mineral, magnetite, were first detected in the human brain over 20 y ago [Kirschvink JL, Kobayashi-Kirschvink A, Woodford BJ (1992) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 89(16):7683–7687]. Magnetite can have potentially large impacts on the brain due to its unique combination of redox activity, surface charge, and strongly magnetic …

The main challenge of all of the aforementioned methods is to avoid the agglomeration of the nanoparticles when they are subjected to an internal or external magnetic field. In order to overcome that inconvenience has been necessary to coat the magnetic nanoparticles with an inert shell, which modify their surface properties and prevent direct ...

A method for suppressing the field-induced agglomeration of magnetic particles in a magnetic fluid is proposed. After the magnetic fluid is doped with silica particles, the agglomeration effect is weakened. The optical properties of this system are analyzed. With this method, the quality of magnetic-fluid-based optical devices might be improved.

A ferrofluid is a stable colloidal suspension of sub-domain magnetic nano particles in a liquid carrier. The particles, which have an average size of about 100Å (10 nm), are coated with a stabilizing dispersing agent (surfactant) which prevents particle agglomeration even when a strong magnetic field gradient is applied to the ferrofluid.

In contrast, when the agglomeration process was allowed to occur in the presence of an external magnetic field, these branches appeared to be oriented predominantly in one direction. A modified Discrete Element Method was applied to simulate the agglomeration process of magnetic nanoparticles both in the absence and presence of an external ...

Silanes are widely used for surface modification in order to improve the biocompatibility of magnetic nanoparticles and to reduce the surface energy of nanoparticles to eliminate agglomeration. Silanes are made of two functional regions, one reacts with the organic materials and another with an inorganic magnetic nanoparticle.

The likelihood of magnetic nanoparticles to agglomerate is usually estimated through the ratio between magnetic dipole-dipole and thermal energies, thus neglecting the fact that, depending on the magnitude of the magnetic anisotropy constant (K), the particle moment may fluctuate internally and thus undermine the agglomeration process. Based on the comparison between the involved timescales ...

Although the non-magnetic part of the cluster, trapped between the individual particles, can play a role in increasing the inter-particle distances (as used by Noginova ), we think that this is insignificant in magnitude compared to agglomeration. In fact, polymers may contract with temperature; however, PEG would have a very small contraction ...
