Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020070336A1] The present disclosure pertains to a method for separating contaminants from a fluid, said method comprising the steps of: a) adding nanoparticles to a fluid comprising contaminants whereby said nanoparticles and said contaminants combine to form combined particles thus providing a fluid comprising combined particles, b) subjecting said fluid comprising combined particles to (i) a centrifuged forced flow, and (ii) a Lorentz force and/or an electrostatic force, wherein said (i) centrifuged forced flow and said (ii) Lorentz force and/or electrostatic force are arranged to allow for tuning a combined total force on said combined particles to provide - one or more separation zones wherein said combined particles are concentrated, and - one or more further separation zones wherein the fluid is depleted of said combined particles.
