Forced Precipitation Experiments for Study of the Electromagnetic Treatment of Water

Abstract

AbstractThe objective of this research is to determine the effect of the electromagnetic equipment TK3K to prevent incrustations in pipes. A method of forced precipitation of calcium carbonate, mixing solutions of Ca(NO3)2 and Na2CO3 with tap water, indicates differences in the temporal evolution of turbidity, absorbance, and in the final size of the particles formed, which makes it possible to distinguish between treated and untreated water. The latter presents higher values of parameters analyzed than the treated one. A longer treatment time does not produce different results, while an increase in temperature causes a greater decrease. Since there is no immediate technique on the market to verify the effect of electromagnetic treatment, this method, with temperature control, is simple and fast.
