This invention relates to the field of
industrial wastewater treatment technology, and discloses an electrocatalytic oxidation device and its operating method for treating
saline industrial organic
wastewater.
Wastewater enters the
reaction chamber through the bottom inlet, is forced through the
anode channels, and undergoes an electrochemical oxidation reaction on the
anode surface to convert
chloride ions into
hypochlorous acid. A
vacuum ultraviolet light source performs in-situ photolysis of water molecules and
hypochlorous acid, exciting various active species, including strongly reducing hydrated electrons, strongly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals, and
chloride radicals. This device, through the construction of a reduction-oxidation
system, can efficiently degrade various pollutants with both
electron-rich and
electron-deficient characteristics. This invention utilizes the synergistic
coupling of electrochemical generation and photochemical conversion to convert high-concentration
chloride ions into active precursors, effectively overcoming the bottlenecks of low degradation efficiency and poor selectivity in traditional technologies for high-salt and complex
water quality, and significantly improving the
system's mineralization efficiency and energy
utilization rate.
