As far as i know these things can remove solid iron or species that contain
iron and are attracted to magnets. An interesting thing to see is with an
"iron fortified" cereal, there can actually small iron filings addded to the
cereal, if you are bored a simple magnet and some stirring can get some
these out. it wont do any good for dissolved species, but if you happen to
have chunks of ferrous material it may work.
