The Effect of High-Voltage Electrostatic Field on the Water Performance

Abstract:

Water treated by external electric field with different field intensity. The absorbency of water, the changes of dyes solubility, the effect of treatment time and the changes of wool swelling were studied. The results showed that electric field treatments can alter the water physical properties to various degrees. The absorbance of water increased with increasing electric field intensity. The swelling ratio indicated the ability of solvent to penetrate the wool fibers and to swell them.
