Even if you have polymers or any other molecule that can absorb. Presence of magnetic field will enhance sorption. Is this because of influence of mag field to the H2O bonds?
The magnetic field-enhanced filtration/sorption process differs significantly
from magnetic separation processes used in the processing of minerals, and
more recently, for water treatment and environmental applications.
in order for such processes to
remove metal ions and nanoparticles from solution, precipitating or
flocculating agents must first be added to effect formation of large particles.
In contrast, the magnetic filtration/sorption process is unique because a
highly porous adsorbent material not only acts as a magnetic matrix; it also
contributes an adsorptive component to the system. This adsorptive
component allows for the removal of complex metal species and ions from
solution, while the relatively low field magnetic matrix allows for the
removal of nanoparticles through a HGMS effect.

Dear Stefan,
I agree with your opinion that magnetic field has effect on structural property of water. Effect of magnetic field on water is very hard to conceptualize (classically) that is why many people are skeptic about the effect. If you are interested in this topic you can go through the following papers;
1. The effect of a static magnetic field on the hydrogen bonding in water
using frictional experiments, Journal of Molecular Structure 1052 (2013) 102–104.
2. The effects of magnetic fields on water molecular hydrogen bonds, Journal of Molecular Structure 938 (2009) 15–19.
3. Infrared absorption spectra of pure and magnetized water at elevated temperatures, EPL, 92 (2010) 65001.
4. AC magneticsusceptibilityatmediumfrequenciessuggestsaparamagnetic
behaviorofpurewater, Journal ofMagnetismandMagneticMaterials324(2012)1129–1132.
All the best.
thank you very much, I think this is not scientifically proper question that I am about to ask you, but for me to be easy or "logical" to comprehend, is there any analogy with influence of moon to sea or oceans, and influence of magnetic field? or this is too far comparation
It seems the presence of magnetoactive nanoparticles plays the key role for sorption enhancing. Such nanocomposites should change its shape under external magnetic field and this can change sorption properties.
Dear Stefan,
The question you asked may not be scientifically improper. But, I think this is not recognized as main stream science. I am not aware of such report where direct relation has been shown. But I saw a blog discussion where someone (I dont remember now) talked about the relation between moon and diamagnetism of water. He claimed that water transport efficiency of plants is maximum during full moon. He also studied the magnetic property of dew drops through out a season and reached to such conclusion. That is it, I do not know anything more.
But there is a striking report in Nature on related topic where a group did a survey and showed that psychotic activity is related to change in geomagnetism. There are some discrete reports like this. But there is no such solid explanation. Unless and until we understand the phenomenon we should not make big claims.
As time passed, more aand more peer review articles on this subject
