          The development of magnetic nanoparticles for separation technologies in liquid systems is well-developed and already in use in medical testing. The challenge is to develop surface functionalization to target the species of interest.  This project will investigate the potential for core-shell magnetic-sorbent structures to be used in waste form separation, or removal of RNs from liquid streams. Particle development and characterisation will be carried out at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and active sorption work at Loughborough.
