A comprehensive monitoring of physico‐chemical properties of water by magnetization and impedance spectroscopy

Abstract

This study describes the effect of electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment on the chemical and electrical properties of tap water. It also contributes to a better understanding of the influence of this technique on the physicochemical properties of water exposed to different treatment times by an EMF generated by the Aqua 4D. The magnetized water was analyzed, and its physical and chemical properties were evaluated after a 30‐min magnetization cycle via impedance spectroscopy using the electrical and dielectric properties. Increasing the EMF circulation time led to a change in the properties of water. The results showed an increase in pH, electrical conductivity, and certain chemical properties. The optimal change in water properties was obtained with an EMF treatment duration of 5 min. However, the evaluation of the water quality improvement induced by the magnetization process revealed an increase in pH, electrical conductivity, and certain chemical properties. To assess the impact of the magnetization process on water quality, the results were compared with other scientific studies. To reduce treatment costs and increase the long‐term viability of the process, the study's results suggest that water magnetization is an effective treatment technology that reduces energy and material consumption (green technology). The importance of key parameters such as pH, oxidation‐reduction potential (ORP), and dissolved oxygen (DO), water quality monitoring, and treatment are highlighted. In particular, changes in these parameters are related to the electron density in water. Recent research indicates that magnetic effects can significantly affect pH, ORP, and DO levels. Accordingly, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the unique properties of magnetized water and explores its potential applications as a smart and environmentally friendly solution in the oil industry, particularly as an injection fluid in enhanced oil recovery operations. In addition, the findings may have implications for advances in aquaculture, water quality control, and the treatment of cancers associated with free radical‐induced oxidative stress. By advancing the understanding of magnetized water, this research aims to contribute to innovative applications in various water applications.
