US-United Kingdom Cooperative Research: Magnetic Study

在这个美英合作研究项目中，拉斐特学院的亚瑟·克尼和克兰菲尔德大学水科学学院的西蒙·帕森斯提议研究离子交换和磁场在处理含重金属的合成废物流中的联合效应。该项目建立在Kney博士最近的研究成果的基础上，该成果得到了美国国家科学基金会探索性研究小额赠款的支持。研究表明，外加磁场结合离子交换操作影响色谱结果。与帕森斯博士拟议的合作主要涉及磁性水调理机制的研究。他们将使用不同磁化率的阳离子——铅（II）、镍（II）、镉（II）、铜（II）和锌（II）——进行磁调节实验。此外，他们还将研究离子浓度、离子交换材料和磁场强度的影响。这个合作研究项目利用了英国在磁水调理和用磁场处理结垢水方面的专业知识。该合作可为推进无化学水和废水处理领域提供信息。

0330868KneyIn this U.S.-U.K. cooperative research project, Arthur Kney of Lafayette College and Simon Parsons of Cranfield University's School of Water Science propose to examine combined effects of ion exchange and magnetic fields in the treatment of synthetic waste streams containing heavy metals. The project builds on Dr. Kney's recent results supported through a NSF Small Grant for Exploratory Research. That research demonstrates that an applied magnetic field integrated with an ion exchange operation affects chromatographic results. The proposed collaboration with Dr. Parsons primarily involves studies of magnetic water conditioning mechanisms. They will work on magnetic conditioning experiments using cations with varying magnetic susceptibilities - lead (II), nickel (II), cadmium (II), copper (II), and zinc (II). In addition, they will investigate the effects of ion concentration, ion-exchange material, and magnetic field intensity.This cooperative research project takes advantage of British expertise in magnetic water conditioning and in the treatment of scaling waters with magnetic fields. The collaboration could provide information to advance the fields of chemical free water and wastewater treatment.
