Applications of Biological Magnetic Effects in Water Treatment

In order to enhance the efficiency of wastewater treatment, magnetic field is usually used to promote microbial activity, and it has become a novel water treatment technology. In this paper, the biological magnetic effect in water treatment are systematically and logically reviewed with respect of mechanisms and applications. The major problems existing in the current magnetic field strengthening technology are pointed out, and the promising application of the biological magnetic effect in water treatment is prospected.
