What is the cost of such agent and is the agent in itself toxic would be my first questions ...

It's vegetable oil mixed with iron oxide (magnetite), so I'd expect indigestion if you consume it in large quantities. Other than that it's probably harmless.

I wonder if the agent is reusable or whether you end up with clean water and waste-oil which you need to dispose of.
