Abstract. Background. Most studies on water properties traditionally consider water as a system of individual molecules and evaluate it using standard physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, concentration of dissolved solids, and oxidation–reduction potential. However, these indicators do not fully reflect the structural organization and dynamic properties of water as an open system. In this context, methods capable of characterizing structural and energy features of water are of scientific interest.
Materials and Methods. The study investigated the possibility of analyzing structural–energetic properties of water using the corona gas discharge (CGD) method. Images of corona discharge around water droplets were recorded on X-ray film using a device for registering gas-discharge luminescence of liquid-phase objects. Image processing was performed using an information approach based on brightness histogram analysis with median values calculated for 12 subranges.
Distilled water, melt water obtained by an apparatus, bottled water, and well water were examined.
The results were compared with data obtained using standard physical methods, including pH, electrical conductivity (σ), total dissolved solids (TDS), and oxidation–reduction potential (ORP).
Results. The analysis demonstrated a relationship between the parameters of corona gas discharge brightness and physicochemical characteristics of the studied water samples. Differences in histogram distributions reflected variations in structural and energetic states of the investigated waters.
Conclusions. Images of corona gas discharge recorded on X-ray film provide information about structural–energetic properties of water that may have biological relevance. The CGD method can therefore be considered as a complementary approach to conventional physicochemical techniques for water analysis.
