Parameters and Effects of Magnetic Field and Potassium Carbonate in Water. Applications

Abstract

The polar water molecule has an angle between the two-hydroxyl O–H bonds of 104.5∘. The unequal sharing of electrons gives a slight negative charge near the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near the hydrogen atoms of the water molecule. Water is a polar solvent. Hydrogen electromagnetic bonds are formed between water molecules. They involve hydrogen atoms from one water molecule and oxygen from another one. A permanent magnetic field influences the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Current research by Wu and Brant, 2020 illustrates that the water conductivity at the magnetic induction B = 13500 or 1.35 T increases from 100 to 250 μS · cm−1. The amount of protons in water (H+) decreases with the water alkalization and increasing pH. The work by Yap and co-authors’ indicates that stronger effects on pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and dissolved oxygen (DO) are observed in the non-reversed polarity of the magnets. Our study uses a constant magnet with the magnetic induction B = 3000 G or 0.3 T; eight permanent magnets are applied to 1000 L of water. Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is also added, by increasing the alkalinity of water. The application is in livestock as drinking water for sheep and goats.
