Abstract
It is hypothesized that an electronic anti-fouling (EAF) technology precipitates dissolved mineral ions through solenoid-induced molecular agitation. In order to investigate the hypothesis of the EAF technology, the present study conducted microscopic observation of calcium carbonate crystallization process from both untreated and treated water samples by the EAF technology as the water samples underwent drying process. The untreated water sample showed a large number of small crystals within a range from 1 μm to 10 μm in diameter, whereas the treated water sample by EAF technology showed large crystals ranging from 10 μm to 20 μm in diameter. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
