Abstract:
The present study aims to investigate the effect of magnetic water treatment on the reduction of concentration of heavy metals in water. In this study, tap water was used by passed it in magnetic field in three magnetic strengths (three intensities) and 0.02l/s flow rate in continuous treatment process. Heavy metals of samples were measured before and after magnetic treatment every 60 minutes for two hours. After comparing the results obtained before and after the magnetic treatment, it was found that the highest change occurred in the results at the magnetic intensity (5000 G) and the highest decrease in heavy metals were found lead 35.9%, cadmium 54.2%, copper 35.7%.
