Sedimentation dynamics of magnetite (gamma-Fe3O4) nanopowder (10-20 nm) in water in a gradient magnetic field B-max = 0.3 T, (dB/dz)(max) = 0.13 T/cm was studied for different water flow speeds and starting particle concentrations (0.1 and 1.0 g/l). The aggregates formation in water was monitored under the same conditions. In cyclical water flow, the velocity of particle sedimentation increases significantly in comparison to its rate in still water, which corresponds to the intensified aggregate formation. However, at a water flow speed more than 0.1 cm/s sedimentation velocity slows down, which might be connected to aggregate destruction in a faster water flow. Correlation between sedimentation time and the nanoparticle concentration in water does not follow the trend expected for spherical superparamagnetic particles. In our case sedimentation time is shorter for c = 0.1 g/l in comparison with that for c = 1 g/l. We submit that such a feature is caused by particle self-organization in water into complex structures of fractal type. This effect is unexplained in the framework of existing theoretical models of colloids systems, so far. Provisional recommendations are suggested for the design of a magnetic separator on the permanent magnets base. The main device parameters are magnetic field intensity B >= 0.1 T, magnetic field gradient (dB/dz)(max) approximate to (0.1-0.2) T/cm, and water flow speed V < 0.15 cm/s. For particle concentration c = 1 g/l, purification of water from magnetite down to ecological and hygienic standards is reached in 80 min, for c = 0.1 g/l the time is reduced down to 50 min.
