The invention provides an electrochemical reactor and a method for electrocatalytically removing chloride ions and relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment. The anode of the electrochemical reactor comprises a net basket made of insoluble metal and a Ru-Ti-AC catalytic material filling the net basket, and a carbon rod or a metal wire is led out of the middle of the anode and connected to the positive pole of a power supply; a cathode comprises multiple metal plates or metal nets arranged at intervals, the interval between every two adjacent metal plates or metal nets is 4-6 cm, and the cathode is connected to the negative pole of the power supply through a wire. The electrochemical reactor is high in electrolytic efficiency and high in chloride ion degradation rate. The method for electrocatalytically removing the chloride ions is implemented with adoption of the electrochemical reactor. To-be-treated wastewater is introduced into a reaction tank of the electrochemical reactor and submerges the anode and the cathode, constant current is applied between the anode and the cathode, the wastewater is stirred continuously, and a reaction is performed for 0.1-2 h. The method is convenient to operate and beneficial to large-scale industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to an electrochemical reactor and a method for electrocatalytically removing chloride ions. Background technique [0002] With the development of my country's economic construction, the demand for water resources has increased sharply, and at the same time, the situation of water pollution has become more and more serious. In such a water environment, people pay more and more attention to water pollution treatment technology. In wastewater, COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand, chemical oxygen demand), BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand, biochemical oxygen demand), nitrogen The removal technologies of pollutants such as , phosphorus, and heavy metals have been greatly developed. Since the chloride ions in industrial wastewater are not used by microorganisms, there are relatively few related removal technologies. my country's "Comprehensive Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

But at present, this technology is still in the laboratory stage, and it is rarely industrialized. The main reason is that there are still some limitations in the electro-adsorption technology: ① In order to ensure that the electrodes have good conductivity, the electrodes used in the electro-adsorption technology are very thin. The thickness of the electrode is generally about 1-4mm, which is inconvenient for industrial operation; ②When the electrode is made of ordinary adsorbent material, the adsorbent material is made into a piece of plate, the total specific surface area cannot be large, and the adsorption effect is not obvious; ③Electrode material Its own performance seriously affects the effect of electro-adsorption technology, and it is difficult for ordinary electrode materials to meet the requirements of high specific surface area, high conductivity, and high cost performance at the same time; ④The concentration of chloride ions in wastewater that can be treated by electro-adsorption technology is far lower than that in industrial wastewater The actual concentration, so it cannot provide good technical support for industrialization

This invention has the following defects: 1. the whole anode of this invention does not use an effective chloride ion oxidation catalyst, and it can be seen that this invention does not electrochemically oxidize chloride ions into Chlorine gas is removed, but only the chlorine ions are adsorbed and concentrated on the activated carbon through the positive charge and the adsorption of activated carbon to achieve the purpose of removing chlorine ions, but not every surface of activated carbon touches the anode titanium plate all the time. That is to say, not every activated carbon surface is positively charged, so the electrosorption efficiency of the whole device is not very high.

And activated carbon adsorption capacity is limited, is easy to saturation, so it is difficult to remove the chlorine ion waste water of high concentration, finds out by embodiment, the chloride ion concentration of its test solution is only 1000mg / l, and its electric adsorption time is too long, needs 2 If the concentration of chlorine ions in the wastewater is too high, a large amount of activated carbon will inevitably be used when using this method to treat chloride ion wastewater, and the treatment time will be longer

② Metal titanium is easy to passivate when it is energized for a long time in an acidic environment, the surface resistance increases, and the electrical efficiency decreases, which has a great impact on the transfer of positive charges on the electrode surface

Moreover, the anode titanium plate of this invention is a plate electrode, no matter how it is arranged, the surface area of ​​the anode will be limited, the surface area cannot be very large, and the anode electrolysis efficiency cannot be very high

The above defects limit the large-scale application of this method in the actual treatment of wastewater.
