Problems solved by technology

The fully mixed reactor has a simple structure and is currently the most widely used at home and abroad. However, the fully mixed reactor not only has serious reverse mixing, short flow and axial dispersion, but also has many dead water areas, which seriously reduces the reactor capacity. The volumetric efficiency, which in turn affects the softening effect

Abstract

The invention discloses a push-flow electrochemical water softening method and a push-flow electrochemical water softening device. Anode electrodes and cathode electrodes are sequentially and vertically installed in an electrochemical reactor in an alternate way; a plurality of electrode chambers are formed by the anode electrodes and the cathode electrodes which are arranged up and down in a staggered way; a water through channel is reserved in the bottom of each anode electrode or each cathode electrode and is communicated with the bottom of the electrode chamber adjacent to the water through channel; another water through channel is reserved in the top of each anode electrode or each cathode electrode and is communicated with the top of the electrode chamber adjacent to the water through channel; the bottom water through channels and the top water through channels are arranged in an alternate way. The method comprises two alternate operation steps: water softening stage: enabling hard water to pass through the electrochemical reactor, promoting water electrolysis by using direct current, respectively generating CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 and depositing same on the surfaces of the cathodeelectrodes so as to remove hard ions in the water; cathode electrode descaling stage: introducing air into the electrochemical reactor, descaling the cathode electrodes by using the shear force generated by bubble breakage, and discharging the removed precipitate from a sludge outlet. The method and the device are suitable for softening industrial circulating water of industries such as electricpower, petroleum as well as heating and ventilation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrochemical water softening method and device, in particular to a push-flow electrochemical water softening method and device. Background technique [0002] The treatment of circulating cold produced in the process of evaporative cooling in the electric power, petrochemical, and steel manufacturing industries all involves softening. At present, the traditional methods of softening at home and abroad include chemical agent dosing method, reverse osmosis method and ion exchange method. These methods have their own characteristics. Compared with the traditional method, the electrochemical softening method has the advantages of environmental friendliness, mild reaction conditions, high treatment efficiency and wide application range, so it has a good industrial application prospect in the treatment of high hardness wastewater. [0003] In recent years, electrochemical water softening technology has been applied in the fiel...
