Influence of the Magnetic Field Gradient on the Efficiency of Magnetic Water Treatment

This paper focuses on the study of the influence of a magnetic field gradient on the efficiency of the magnetic water treatment process (MWT). For this purpose, the changes in the kinetics of oxidation of organic matter with ozone were used. The methods of theoretical analysis of the geometry of the magnetic field in the equipment of water purification technologies were applied for experimental study of the influence of the inhomogeneous magnetic field on the kinetics of the oxidation reaction of organic pollution. Statistical processing of experimental results allowed approximation of the regression equation of MWT efficiency on the rate of magnetic induction change and duration of processing. The efficiency of MWT does not increase monotonically with increasing duration of the MWT process both increasing the value of magnetic induction change. The speed of the aqueous solution and the geometry of the inhomogeneous magnetic field are closely related and have been one of the main parameters that determine the MWT efficiency. These parameters can be expressed by the magnitude of the magnetic induction change. Experimentally established dependencies can find application in the development of scientific and methodological bases for the implementation of the process of magnetic treatment of polluted waters for the purification intensification in environmental protection systems.
