The application provides a method for electrochemical
water softening, which adopts an electrochemical device with a
cathode and an
anode to treat
wastewater, the
wastewater is fed into the
cathode and discharged from the
anode, and the
cathode is a corrugated
electrode. The corrugated
electrode is a sawtooth corrugated
electrode with a sawtooth surface or a wave corrugated electrode with a wave surface. In the electrochemical
water softening method, the
hydrogen bubble generation and release of the cathode are utilized to have a certain mechanical peeling effect on the scale layer, and due to the special structure of the electrode surface, the
hydrogen bubble has a certain pushing force outward, so that the scale layer can be taken away from the surface of the substrate, thereby preventing the scale layer from depositing on the cathode, which not only prolongs the service life of the cathode but also enables the cathode to have a certain self-cleaning ability. The corrugated electrode adopted in the application can make the scale not deposit on the surface of the cathode but crystallize and grow in water, relieve the
scale deposition speed on the surface of the electrode, and reduce the
energy consumption in the reaction process.
