Abstract:
Apparatus and method for detecting a nonlinear magnetic particle based on a single excitation coil. The apparatus includes a signal generation unit for generating an input composite signal by combining a high-frequency sine wave signal and a low-frequency sine wave signal, generated based on a fundamental frequency, with each other, a signal application unit for applying the input composite signal to a single excitation solenoid coil included in a measurement head, through which a sample passes, to generate a magnetic field in the measurement head so as to detect a nonlinear magnetic particle, and a detection unit for detecting an output signal emitted from the sample depending on the magnetic field by using at least one detection solenoid coil included in the measurement head, analyzing a frequency domain of the output signal, and detecting whether the nonlinear magnetic particle is present in the sample.

Disclosed herein are a method for analyzing heavy metal removal efficiency using phase difference analysis and an apparatus using the method. The method for analyzing heavy metal removal efficiency using phase difference analysis includes applying a magnetic field to a magnetite onto which a heavy metal is adsorbed, based on a first solenoid coil and a second solenoid coil that have an identical winding direction, applying a high-frequency signal to the magnetite, based on a third solenoid coil having a winding direction that differs from that of the first solenoid coil and the second solenoid coil, detecting a high-frequency signal transformed by the magnetite, and calculating a phase difference between a previously detected default high-frequency signal and the transformed high-frequency signal, and analyzing an efficiency of heavy metal removal by the magnetite by measuring a concentration of the heavy metal based on the phase difference.
