Mini Magnetic Muck Managers

Conclusion

1. The magnetic nanoparticles were successfully prepared.

2. The characteristics of the scaffold and the nanoparticles were determined: their size could be manipulated using pH.

3. Nanoparticles are a flexible, efficient and cost-effective option in water purification. They have a large surface area-to-volume ratio to bind to trace amounts and they are magnetic, so they can be recycled.
