Embodiment 1

[0022] Example 1 Preparation of expanded graphite electrode for treatment of electroplating wastewater containing hexavalent chromium

[0023] Electroplating wastewater contains 187mg / L of hexavalent chromium, COD=50mg / L, pH=3.5. The reactor is a typical double-chamber electrolytic cell. The reactor is composed of two rectangular reaction chambers with a volume of 220ml. The length, width and height are respectively: 5cm; 4cm; 11cm. The effective volume used in the experiment is 200ml. The outer wall of the reactor is made of plexiglass. The area between the two reaction chambers is 45cm 2 The proton exchange membrane is physically separated. The two reaction chambers are connected by flanges. In order to prevent leakage, rubber rings are used to seal the flanges and the proton exchange membranes. The opening above the anode chamber is sealed with a rubber plug, and 3 openings are reserved on the rubber plug for wires, sampling ports, etc. After the reactor is built, the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an expanded graphite electrode for electrochemical removal of heavy metal ions in wastewater and a preparation method and application of the expanded graphite electrode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, cutting graphite paper into an appropriate size, performing ultrasonic cleaning for one hour separately in an acid, an alkali and ultrapure water in sequence, and performing drying; secondly, soaking the pretreated graphite paper into liquid nitrogen for 5-30 minutes; rapidly soaking frozen graphite paper into an ethanol solution, wherein liquid nitrogen molecules are gasified rapidly and expanded instantaneously in graphite paper layers at the room temperature, and then the graphite paper is expanded into three-dimensional expanded graphite; furthermore, calcining the expanded graphite at 700 DEG C for one hour, and performing ultrasonic treatment for 30 minutes in ethanol; and finally washing the expanded graphite with a great dealof ultrapure water, and performing drying, so as to obtain an electrode. The obtained three-dimensional expanded graphite electrode has good conductivity, and heavy metal ions in wastewater can be efficiently removed through electrochemical reduction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of water treatment and material development, in particular to the field of removing and recovering metal ions in wastewater containing heavy metal ions. Background technique [0002] Chemical industry, metallurgy, tanning and other industries produce a large amount of wastewater containing heavy metals. It contains a large amount of metal elements such as chromium, copper, nickel, etc., which will cause serious harm to the water environment, soil and human health. Therefore, national, local, and industry emission standards have put forward very high requirements for the limits of heavy metals. How to efficiently treat heavy metal wastewater has become an urgent technical problem. The existing heavy metal treatment methods include: chemical precipitation method, membrane separation method, biological method and so on. However, the above-mentioned methods have their own shortcomings, such as poor treatment effect, l...
