Magnetic Modification of Ion Exchange in Water Treatment Processes

Abstract

At present intensification of ion exchange processes in water treatment systems is widespread. Mainly technological and constructive methods are used. It is proposed to apply a magnetic field to modify the processes of ion exchange when adjusting the mineral composition of water. The study evaluates the method of magnetic modification of ion exchange processes on changes in the working dynamic capacity of the ionite, the amount of sorbed salts, the duration of the filter cycle and the flow rate of the regeneration solution. Results of method application were obtained. For the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the investigated water, cationite KU-2x8 and anionite AN-22 were used. Proposed method of modification of the ion exchange process due to simultaneous influence of magnetic field on the ion exchanger and purified water.
