Process for guidance, containment, treatment, and imaging in a subsurface environment utilizing ferro-fluids
Abstract
Disclosed are processes for monitoring and control of underground contamination, which involve the application of ferrofluids. Two broad uses of ferrofluids are described: (1) to control liquid movement by the application of strong external magnetic fields; and (2) to image liquids by standard geophysical methods.
