The application belongs to the technical field of
water treatment, and provides an electro-catalytic
periodate synergistic
wastewater treatment method and device. The
wastewater treatment method comprises the following steps: adding organic contaminant-containing
wastewater to be treated into a wastewater treatment device provided with an
anode plate and a
cathode plate, adding
periodate into the wastewater treatment device, starting a
direct current power source connected with the
anode plate and the
cathode plate to perform wastewater treatment, and discharging the treated wastewater; the material of the
anode plate is
ruthenium oxide-
iridium oxide, and the material of the
cathode plate is
carbon felt; in the wastewater treatment process, the organic contaminant is oxidized and degraded by direct
electron transfer on the anode plate, and electro-
catalytic oxidation is synergized with
periodate to produce active species including OH · , 1 O2,O2 ·‑ ,H2O2,IO3 · and H2O2, IO3- and H2O2, which oxidize and degrade the organic contaminant in the wastewater, and the cathode plate removes part of the contaminant in the wastewater through adsorption. The application can realize efficient and low-cost treatment of wastewater containing
refractory organic matter.
