The invention relates to a baffling type electrochemical reactor, which belongs to the technical field of electrochemical oxidation, and comprises a reaction cavity, the lower part of the reaction cavity is provided with a medium inlet, and the upper part of the reaction cavity is provided with a medium outlet; and the at least one
electrode reaction unit is arranged in the reaction cavity. Wherein the
electrode reaction unit comprises a plurality of
anode plates and a plurality of
cathode plates which are arranged in a staggered manner, spoilers are arranged at the edges of the two sides of each
cathode plate, and the spoilers, the adjacent
cathode plates and the blocking plates jointly form a closed baffling channel, so that when fluid flows along gaps between the
anode plates and the cathode plates in the reaction cavity, the flow of the fluid is blocked; and the direction is repeatedly changed under the guidance of the spoilers, so that a Z-shaped baffling path is formed. The structure is simple, the contact area of the
anode and the conductive part is large, the
mass transfer rate of reactants on the surface of the
electrode can be increased, the surface flow velocity of the electrode plate is improved, and the electrochemical
reaction rate is increased.
