Magnetic Colloid Petroleum Oil Clean-Up of Surface, Depth, and Shores

Technology Benefits
-This method has the potential for rapid development and deployment-Allows for the capture of oil from contaminated surfaces remotely, without direct contact with the surface.
Technology Application
Petroleum oil clean-up, removing oil contamination
Detailed Technology Description
None
*Abstract
Problem:Oil spill contamination cannot be cleaned rapidly and completely from varied enviroments.Technology:Ferrofluids are colloidal dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles that can be manipulated with an external magnetic field. This invention proposes to apply ferrofluidic principles to the mitigation of oil contamination of solids (wetlands), water surfaces and water sub-surfaces. The particle size, surfaces and dispersants can all be optimized for stabilizing oil removal, collectability and water purification.
