Problems solved by technology

Another disadvantage of oxygen-consuming cathodes is that only oxygen dissolved in water can generate H 2 o 2
So, H 2 o 2 The output is very low, and the cathode generates H 2 o 2 The efficiency is very low, it is difficult to be practically applied in the field of wastewater and drinking water disinfection, and oxygen-consuming electrodes have not been widely used.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for electrically disinfecting a gas diffusion electrode system. The method adopts a nondiaphragm electrolysis system, uses active carbon with membrane structure / PTFE gas diffusion electrode as a cathode, a metal dimensionally stable electrode or a graphite polar plate as an anode, adopts aeration which is simple and practical in environmental engineering close to the cathode, controls the density of electrolytic current below 15mA / cm<2> and flow rate of oxygen in a range between 15 and 75L / h, uses reducing capacity of the cathode and electrocatalysis to generate H2O2, and decomposes the H2O2 to generate hydroxyl radical to sterilize, thereby achieving the aims of sterilization with safety and non-toxicity, equipment investment reduction and treatment effect improvement. The system has wider application range of pH value and is expected to be used in disinfection treatment of tap water or effluent of a secondary sedimentation tank of a sewage treatment plant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of environmental protection and energy saving, and relates to an electrochemical water treatment and disinfection method, in particular to an electrochemical water treatment and disinfection method using a gas diffusion electrode system. Background technique [0002] At present, commonly used disinfection processes include traditional chlorine disinfection, ultraviolet disinfection and ozone disinfection. Chlorination disinfection technology occupies a dominant position in the field of water treatment, but its main defect is that chlorine gas, the raw material for preparing chlorine disinfectants, is not only highly toxic, but also prone to fires, explosions, and even casualties during storage and transportation. At the same time, when it was discovered that chlorine disinfection would produce more carcinogens, the use of chlorine became more and more cautious. However, ozone disinfection and ultraviolet disinfection...
