Improving the Mechanical Properties of Concrete Using Magnetically Treated Water

Abstract

Water available for use is usually lost many of its properties due to manufacturing processes or pollution which it is exposed. It requires treatment or desalination processes to obtain used water with suitable biological properties. There are many processes of water treatment and purification of impurities, the most important one   is the process of magnetically treating water, which works to revive it and nourish. The process of treating water using the magnetic field is characterized by low cost, ease of use and sustainability. The magnetic water treatment prevents the formation of limescale on the internal and external surfaces of devices and equipment through which water flows, and prevents the formation of scales and deposits on the inner surfaces of the pipes, which in turn leads to their non-clogging. The magnetic field also causes a decrease in the mass of water molecules, so that the number of molecules in the water mass decreases about half, and this leads to an increase in the participation of water molecules in wetting or dissolving materials such as cement mixtures. In this research, laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of water treated with magnetic technology on Cement mixtures. Experiments have proven that magnetized water increases the compressive strength of concrete, meaning that the compressive strength of concrete mixed with magnetized water is higher than the value of the compressive strength of ordinary concrete.
