  2. Magnetic water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_water_treatment

    As magnets affect water to a small degree, and water containing ions is more conductive than purer water, magnetic water treatment is an example of a valid scientific hypothesis that failed experimental testing and is thus disproven. Any products claiming to utilize magnetic water treatment are absolutely fraudulent. [1]

  3. Nanotechnology for water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology_for_water...

    Many different types of nanomaterials or nanoparticles are used in water treatment processes. Nanotechnology is useful in regards to remediation, desalination, filtration, purification and water treatment. The main features that make nanoparticles effective for water treatment are More surface area; Small volume

  4. Magnetic separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_separation

    The water circulating around the heating system picks up bits of sludge (or magnetite) which can build up. The magnetic filter attracts all these bits of debris with a strong magnet as the water flows around it, preventing a build-up of sludge in the pipework or in the boiler. [11]

  5. Environmental magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_magnetism

    Environmental magnetism was first identified as a distinct field in 1978 and was introduced to a wider audience by the book Environmental Magnetism in 1986. [2] [3] Since then it has grown rapidly, finding application in and making major contributions to a range of diverse fields, especially paleoclimate, sedimentology, paleoceanography, and studies of particulate pollution.

  6. Magnetite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

    Electron microscope scans of human brain-tissue samples are able to differentiate between magnetite produced by the body's own cells and magnetite absorbed from airborne pollution, the natural forms being jagged and crystalline, while magnetite pollution occurs as rounded nanoparticles. Potentially a human health hazard, airborne magnetite is a ...

  7. Pulsed-power water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed-power_water_treatment

    Pulsed-power water treatment is the process of using pulsed, electro-magnetic fields into cooling water to control scaling, biological growth, and corrosion.The process does not require the use of chemicals and helps eliminate environmental and health issues associated with the use and life-cycle management of chemicals used to treat water.
