“…The magnetic treatment of water has been reported to change some physical and chemical properties of water such as surface tension, refractive index, viscosity, melting temperature, conductivity, solubility of salts and pH (Grewal and Maheshwari, 2011). It restructures the water molecules into very small clusters (the magnetic fields weaken the intra clusters hydrogen bonds, breaking the larger clusters, forming smaller clusters with stronger inter cluster hydrogen bonds, Wang et al, 2013), each is made up of six symmetrically organized molecules. This tiny and uniform cluster has hexagonal structure thus it can easily enter the passage ways in plant and animal cell membranes (Wang et al, 2013).…”

A MAGNETIC device was designed and manufactured to assess the implications of using magnetized saline water for crop irrigation on plant growth parameters and properties of soils grown thereon. To reach this aim, four soil types differing in their textures and contents of soluble salts, were sampled, uniformly packed in PVC columns and then cultivated with wheat grains (Triticum aestivum L.). Two weeks later, plants received one of the following treatments for water irrigation i.e., tap water (0.4 dS m -1 ), magnetized tap water, saline water (7.5 dS m -1 ) and magnetized saline water at a rate of 100% of field capacity (FC) to collect water draining from each column. Significant improvements in both the growth and yield parameters of wheat as well as in the soil chemical properties (i.e. pH, EC e , Na + , Cl -, SAR, available N, P and K contents) occurred due to irrigation with the magnetized saline water compared to irrigation with the non-magnetized saline ones. This magnetized waters seemed to increase the leachability of salts downwards the soil columns. The corresponding increases attained by magnetized saline water were higher than those attained by magnetized tap water. Also, NPK contents increased significantly within the different plant parts owing to magnetizing the irrigation water. Moreover, phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency increased significantly due to the irrigation with the magnetized waters i.e., the saline or the non-saline one compared with those received the non-magnetized waters. In conclusion, magnetizing irrigation water of low quality might reduce its negative implications on the grown plants and minimize accumulation of salts with the surface top soil.

“…Former studies revealed that specific properties of water such as surface tension force and viscosity, optical property (changes in optical feature of water including infrared, Raman, visible, ultraviolet lights and X-ray spectra), electromagnetic property (refractive index, dielectric constant and electrical conductivity), thermodynamic property (enthalpy of vaporization), dynamic property (self-diffusion coefficient) and molecular structure of water (hydrogen bond structure) change upon the application of MFs [16,17,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…Wang et al [29] based on their frictional experiment results reported that the application of SMF weakens the hydrogen bonding in water. The investigators assumed that the thermal motion of the partially charged atoms of H 2 O under the MF gives rise to the Lorentz force which will be exerted on the charge center of the polar molecule.…”

An Overview on Magnetic Field and Electric Field Interactions with Ice Crystallisation; Application in the Case of Frozen Food

et al. 2017

Abstract:Ice nucleation is a stochastic process and it is very difficult to be controlled. Freezing technologies and more specifically crystallisation assisted by magnetic, electric and electromagnetic fields have the capability to interact with nucleation. Static magnetic field (SMF) may affect matter crystallisation; however, this is still under debate in the literature. Static electric field (SEF) has a significant effect on crystallisation; this has been evidenced experimentally and confirmed by the theory. Oscillating magnetic field induces an oscillating electric field and is also expected to interact with water crystallisation. Oscillating electromagnetic fields interact with water, perturb and even disrupt hydrogen bonds, which in turn are thought to increase the degree of supercooling and to generate numerous fine ice crystals. Based on the literature, it seems that the frequency has an influence on the above-mentioned phenomena. This review article summarizes the fundamentals of freezing under magnetic, electric and electromagnetic fields, as well as their applicability and potentials within the food industry.

Uncontrollable growth of Zn dendrites, irreversible dissolution of cathode material and solidification of aqueous electrolyte at low temperatures severely restrict the development of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries. In this work, 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFEA) with a volume fraction of 50% as a highly compatible polar‐solvent is introduced to 1.3 M Zn(CF3SO3)2 aqueous electrolyte, achieving stable high‐performance Zn‐ion batteries. Massive theoretical calculations and characterization analysis demonstrate that TFEA weakens the tip effect of Zn anode and restrains the growth of Zn dendrites due to electrostatic adsorption and coordinate with H2O to disrupt the hydrogen bonding network in water. Furthermore, TFEA increases the wettability of the cathode and alleviates the dissolution of V2O5, thus improving the capacity of the full battery. Based on those positive effects of TFEA on Zn anode, V2O5 cathode, and aqueous electrolyte, the Zn//Zn symmetric cell delivers a long cycle‐life of 782 h at 5 mA cm−2 and 2 mA h cm−2. The full battery still declares an initial capacity of 116.78 mA h g−1, and persists 87.73% capacity in 2000 cycles at −25 °C. This work presents an effective strategy for fully compatible co‐solvent to promote the stability of Zn anode, V2O5 cathode and aqueous electrolyte for high‐performance Zn‐ion batteries.
