A process is provided for the preparation of magnetic particles to which a wide variety of molecules may be coupled. The magnetic particles can be dispersed in aqueous media without rapid settling and conveniently reclaimed from media with a magnetic field. Preferred particles do not become magnetic after application of a magnetic field and can be redispersed and reused. The magnetic particles are useful in biological systems involving separations.

Molybdenum is removed from an aqueous solution containing tungsten and molybdenum by extracting the molybdenum from the aqueous solution having a pH greater than 8.5 with a liquid organic extractant containing a preferred complexing agent, 3,4-dimercaptotoluene.

Process for the separation of molybdenum values from tungsten values

A stable liquid composition which comprises a colloidal dispersion of finely-divided particles in a liquid silicone-oil carrier and a dispersing amount of a surfactant, which surfactant comprises a silicone-oil surfactant containing a functional group which forms a chemical bond with the surface of the particles and a tail group which is soluble in the silicone-oil carrier, to provide a stable ferrofluid composition.

A stable ferrofluid composition which comprises a colloidal dispersion of finely-divided magnetic particles in a liquid, low-pressure, polyphenyl ether carrier and a dispersing amount of a surfactant, which surfactant comprises a polyphenyl ether surfactant containing a functional group, such as an acidic group, and an aromatic tail group which is soluble in the polyphenyl ether carrier, to provide a stable ferrofluid composition.
