The research demonstrated the utilization of iron oxide nanoparticles for flotation processes based on magnetically induced heteroagglomeration. The zero remanent magnetization of the nanomaterial allows for reversible aggregation, facilitating process control in flotation. Magnetic carrier flotation using iron oxide nanoparticles could potentially lead to new recycling processes for microplastic wastes.
On the nanoscale, iron oxides can be used for multiple applications ranging from medical treatment to biotechnology. We aimed to utilize the specific properties of these nanoparticles for new process concepts in flotation. Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by alkaline coprecipitation, leading to a primary particle size of 9 nm, and coated with oleate. The nanomaterial was characterized for its superparamagnetism and its colloidal stability at different ionic strengths, with and without an external magnetic field. The nanomaterial was used for model experiments on magnetic carrier flotation of microplastic particles, based on magnetically induced heteroagglomeration. We were able to demonstrate the magnetically induced aggregation of the nanoparticles which allows for new flotation strategies. Since the nanomaterial has zero remanent magnetization, the agglomeration is reversible which facilitates the process control. Magnetic carrier flotation based on iron oxide nanoparticles can pave the way to promising new recycling processes for microplastic wastes.
