The effect of the magnetic field on some physical and chemical characteristics of river water under laboratory conditions

Abstract

Magnetically treated water is used in many research, medical, industrial, agricultural and many y other fields. Scientific research has proven amazing results for exposing various living organisms to magnetic fields, so the current study was conducted to identify the effect of water treated magnetically at different intensities, namely 500, 1000 and 1500 gauss, on some of the physical and chemical properties of river water under laboratory conditions, and the results obtained were compared with river water. Ordinary, (non-magnetically treated control). The results of the current study showed that significant changes occurred in some physical and chemical properties of the magnetically treated water under study after magnetic treatment of the water with the three aforementioned magnetic intensities, as the pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids in the treatment water increased significantly with increasing magnetic intensity compared to the control water not magnetically treated. The study also indicated that there was no significant effect of the magnetic field and its three intensities on changing the water temperature. In addition, the study indicated with the intensity of 1500 Gauss achieved the best results in modifying some physical and chemical properties of the water.
