Large-scale water treatment applications of nanomaterial control devices using magnets

Caption

Magnet-based nanomaterial control devices can enhance water treatment capacity thorough scalable modular design by connecting multiple pipes with magnets attached. Nanomaterials fouled by suspended solids can be easily cleaned by a simple process of controlling the magnetic field, allowing for low-energy, long-term operation.
