A novel design of fixed-bed column using a high gradient magnetic field
A new magnetically assisted wastewater treating system has been suggested for Cr-VI-contaminated waters using a novel and strong Cr-sorbent, namely, schwertmannite. The system contains a fixed-bed column, put in a high magnetic field, which was alternately packed with schwertmannite fine particles and iron wools as a ferromagnetic porous media. The obtained results confirm its high efficiency.
