Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of magnetic water conditioners (MWC) on clarification of open water reservoirs. In typical desalting technologies of power and industrial enterprises clarification and elimination of carbonaceous hardness is the first operation to be performed in the clarifier. The influence of MWC treated water on coagulation characteristics of coagulant iron sulphate solution was investigated. It has been presumed, that clarification rate of FeSO4 with MWC is greater 1.8 – 3.3 times; magnetic activation by conditioners decreases electro kinetic potential of dispersive particles; using MWC technical water may be clarified with FeSO4 in alkaline solution at 20 °C without waters heating to 33 °C.
