Abstract
Scale formation in magnetically treated waters is to be analyzed in order to explain some of the experimentally observed changes in the crystallization rate and morphology of calcium carbonate and sulphate as the main scale-forming components. Using the electrical double layer theory, a physicochemical model for the crystallization in magnetic field will be derived. It will include magneto-hydrodynamic ion shifts from the dispersed Gouy into the condensed Stern layer. A numerical analysis of the changes in ion concentrations in the Stern layer at growing crystals will be made and their influence on the growth rate will be evaluated. The magnetization of iron oxides and the magneto-hydrodynamic electrical neutralization of solid surfaces will be investigated as possible nucleation activations. Measurements of pH, the light absorbency, turbidity and electro-kinetic potential of dispersed water systems will be realized with a strong magnetic field and without it. Theoretical and experimental results for scale formation using magnetic treatment and without using it will be compared and applied for particular high-temperature model systems.
