Phase Separation of an Electrolyte during Etching and Sedimentation of Metals on a Surface of a Ferromagnetic Metal Ball in an External Magnetic Field

The influence of the Earth gravitation on the shape of the interface between the two quasi-stationary phases in anelectrolyte with different magnetic susceptibilities was observed experimentally during etching and deposition of metals on a steel ball in an external magnetic field, applied parallel to the field of gravity. The shape of this interface in an electrolyte is described theoretically on the basis of the equation of the balance of osmotic, magnetic and hydrostatic pressures in the Earth's gravity.
