The invention discloses an electro-
catalysis method for disposing waste brown liquid. The electro-
catalysis method for disposing the waste brown liquid comprises the following steps: a variable-valence
metal ion catalyst is added into the waste brown liquid and evenly stirred, the mixture is electrolyzed under a
high oxygen evolution
overpotential positive pole and a
low copper evolution
overpotential negative pole, and at the same time
copper ions in an
electrolyte are monitored in real time. When the concentration of the
copper ions in the
electrolyte is small than 1g / L, the
electrolysis is stopped. The variable-valence
metal ion catalyst is high in valence and strong in oxidation capacity. After the
electrolysis is finished, by means of the operation of extraction and back extraction, the recycling of a positive
ion type catalyst is achieved. According to the electro-
catalysis method for disposing the waste brown liquid, the variable-valence
metal ion catalyst is adopted to electrolyze the waste brown liquid, coppery organic complexes in the waste brown liquid can be effectively degraded, the coppery organic complexes in the waste brown liquid are enabled to release free
copper ions, the free copper ions deposit at the negative pole, the
recovery rate of copper in the waste brown liquid is improved, the catalyst can be recycle through extraction, and the cost is reduced effectively.
