“…These specific concentrations were required in order to obtain "well-behaved" profiles. were mixed without any pre-exposure treatment, the turbidity increased after initial mixing at t=0 and then levelled off, finally decreasing -in agreement with Colic and co-workers (Colic & Morse, 1998). These workers suggest that, initially, the turbidity of the solution increases due to nucleation, then levels off due to sedimentation of the precipitate, finally decreasing as the larger aggregated particles sediment and the nucleation rate diminishes.…”

ABSTRACT:The marketing and implementation of commercially available pulsedelectromagnetic field (PEMF) devices to ostensibly control scaling, in processes such as reverse osmosis (RO) and cooling-tower installations, is based on the notion that such devices enhance the coagulation of inorganic particles such as calcium carbonate. In order to provide a scientific basis for such claims, the precipitation characteristics of calcium carbonate under the influence of the PEMFs from two commercially available devices has been investigated under controlled conditions. Thus the rate and profile of calcium carbonate precipitation in the presence and absence of PEMF exposure of parent calcium nitrate and sodium carbonate aqueous solutions was tracked in parallel by UV absorption at 350 nm and by turbidity measurements. The morphology of the corresponding crystalline precipitates was, at the same time, also assessed using SEM. From these studies, is apparent that exposure of the parent solutions to the PEMF from one of these devices in particular can influence both the profile of CaCO3 precipitation and the morphology of the resulting microcrystals.

“…Parent aqueous solutions of 5 mM were used for the turbidity tests, as suggested by Colic and coworkers (Colic & Morse, 1998) and solutions of 8 mM were used for absorbance tests (Higashitani, Kage, Katamura, Imai, & Hatade, 1993). In both cases measurements were obtained over 30 min at 2 min intervals.…”

“…A number of investigations have been carried out on the effects of magnetic and electromagnetic treatment of aqueous solutions and suspensions (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), colloidal particles (4)(5)(6)(7)(8), and biological organisms, as well as practical industrial processes including prevention of scale deposition on pipes (1,21). The effects arise from exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields or magnetic fields of low flux density and are manifested for several hours after exposure has terminated.…”

“…RF treatment has been repeatedly confirmed to alter EM properties of water, and to affect growth in plants, although it is not the purpose to review this literature here. However, there appears to be no adequate explanation of effects, and little scientific consensus after two decades of Holysz, 1995), (Higashitani and Oshitani, 1998), (Colic and Morse, 1998), (Leahy et alia, 2000), discovered surprising microphysical features of the RF treatment (e.g. altering zeta potentials) published in a cluster of scientific papers, mainly in the 1990s.…”

An experiment to detect an effect of radio frequency (RF) radiation (27.5 MHz) on properties of water through its effects on the revival of wilted catsear dandelions was performed. The RF treatment was applied using a commercial product, the "Vi~Aqua PlantMate." Around 1,500 pairs of stems were tested in the experiment. There is a long-standing controversy over whether RF treatment has any long-lasting effects on properties of water. Effects were found when treated water contained significant impurities, and when the RF treatment was applied to the flower stems while immersed in the treated water. The positive results indicate that the RF treatment significantly affects water transport within the plant. It is inferred that it enhances osmosis into cells and capillary transport through the plant's vascular system. The effects began to show after about 20 minutes, and efficacy of the water treatment lasted for a period of at least several hours. The primary aim was to verify the phenomena. The challenge to explain the phenomena is briefly addressed in discussion. Pollack's (2013) EZ (Exclusion Zone) theory is suggested as the primary framework for an explanation. It is suggested that the RF treatment does not provide the energy responsible, but catalyzes absorption of free IR (Infrared) or MW (Microwave) radiation by the water, and this energy is stored as electrical energy through the creation of EZ structures.
