The invention is directed to a method and a system for producing a ferrofluid comprising providing a stock solution with Fe(II) and Fe(III); mixing the stock solution with a base to form magnetic nanoparticles and a spent solution, said method further comprising a separation step of separating the nanoparticles from the spent solution by applying a magnet to immobilize the nanoparticles and remove at least part of the spent solution as supernatant from the immobilized nanoparticles. In another aspect, the invention is directed to the resulting ferrofluid.

Ferrofluid

A process and a system for producing a stock solution for production of a ferrofluid is provided. The process includes contacting an acidic solution in a reaction container filled with an excess of a bulk material containing Fe(III) and optionally Fe(II). The acid reacts with the bulk material to form the stock solution (Ls) having dissolved ferric (Fe(III)) and optionally ferrous (Fe(II)) ions which is then separated from the bulk material.
