The Oxidative Reaction of Iron by the Dissolved Oxygen in Water under the Strong Magnetic Field

Abstract

It was confirmed that the rust formation on Iron surface by the dissolved oxygen in water was accelerated under the applied strong magnetic field (10T). Acceleration originates from the convection induced by the change of diffusion of the paramagnetic oxygen molecule by the high gradient of magnetic field formed around the iron. The possibility of the control of iron rust formation was indicated by the magnetic field.
