Influencia del tratamiento magnético en la turbidez, conductividad y pH del agua.

The growing deficit of drinking water has motivated the scientific community to incorporate new methods and technologies to raise its quality. Magnetic treatment is presented as an innovative, economical, efficient, environmentally friendly and easy-to-apply technology. Based on the physical-chemical characteristics presented by the analyzed waters, favorable and significant effects are evidenced with the application of magnetic treatment for conductivity, pH and turbidity. It was observed that the pH in general increases its values up to 11.03%, while the turbidity decreases up to 44.44%. In the case of conductivity, its values show increases and decreases, reporting values of 0.31% and 2.79% respectively. These results could be the preamble for the study of flocculation coagulation processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
