Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and more specifically, to an electrochemical treatment method and application of high-salt coal chemical wastewater. Background Art

[0002] High-salinity wastewater from coal chemical industry mainly comes from drainage of chemical water station, drainage of circulating water system and gasification wastewater formed in coal gasification process. The main pollutants are total dissolved solids (TDS) and refractory organic matter. The mass concentration of TDS is 10000-100000 mg / L, even up to 200000 mg / L or more, and the mass concentration of COD is 100-5000 mg / L. COD has complex composition and high concentration, which may cause membrane pollution and bring difficulties to subsequent evaporation and crystallization, such as severe foaming, poor quality of crystallized salt, and inability to reuse, which limits the further concentration or resource utilization of wastewater. Before membrane treatment and subsequent evaporation and crystallization, organic matter in high-salinity wastewater must be removed. However, the current common water treatment technologies, such as activated carbon adsorption and biological methods, have high operating costs and cannot achieve the expected treatment effect for the treatment of high-salinity wastewater. Electrocatalytic oxidation has a good removal effect on organic matter in wastewater, and the treatment process only consumes electricity and no reagents, which is an ideal treatment method.

[0003] Coal chemical wastewater has complex composition and high COD concentration, among which the fluoride ion concentration of gasification wastewater is relatively high. Fluoride ions have a corrosive effect on the anode in electrocatalytic oxidation, seriously affecting the service life of the anode. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the fluoride ion content in the water to meet the water inlet requirements of electrochemical oxidation treatment. Among the current water defluorination process technologies, adsorption and coagulation precipitation methods are widely studied and applied, among which coagulation precipitation is one of the most widely used process technologies for treating fluoride-containing wastewater. Moreover, the current wastewater defluorination technology is mainly used to treat medium and high concentration fluoride-containing wastewater. It is relatively easy to achieve a fluoride concentration of ≤15mg / L after treatment. When continuing to treat to a lower concentration, the dosage increases and the difficulty increases. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new technology for the electrochemical treatment of difficult-to-degrade organic matter in high-salt coal chemical wastewater. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electrochemical treatment method for high-salt coal chemical wastewater and its application. The high-salt coal chemical wastewater has high fluoride ion content and high sulfate content. The high sulfate content will affect the removal of fluoride ions. The treatment method of the present invention first removes most of the fluoride ions through an electric flocculation reaction and the adsorption effect of a particle electrode, so that the fluoride ion concentration reaches the electrochemical oxidation water inlet requirement, and then treats the difficult-to-degrade organic matter in the wastewater by performing an electric oxidation reaction through electrode reversal and coordinating the adsorption and electric oxidation degradation effects of the particle electrode. The method of the present invention has simple operation steps and occupies a small area, and is suitable for treating difficult-to-degrade organic matter in high-salt coal chemical wastewater.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention provides an electrochemical treatment method for high-salt coal chemical wastewater, the electrochemical treatment method comprising:

[0006] (1) injecting the high-salt coal chemical wastewater into an electrochemical reactor, using a soluble metal electrode as an anode and a shape-stable electrode as a cathode to perform an electric flocculation reaction, and simultaneously cooperating with the adsorption effect of the particle electrode to remove fluoride ions in the wastewater;

[0007] (2) After the treatment in step (1), the electrodes are reversed in the electrochemical reactor, and an electro-oxidation reaction is performed with the shape-stable electrode as the anode and the soluble metal electrode as the cathode, and the adsorption and electro-oxidation degradation effects of the particle electrode are combined to remove the difficult-to-degrade organic matter in the wastewater;

[0008] (3) The wastewater treated in step (2) is passed into a filtering device and discharged after being filtered.

[0009] Another aspect of the present invention provides application of the electrochemical treatment method in treating high-salt coal chemical wastewater.

[0010] The technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] In the present invention, the electrocoagulation and electrochemical oxidation are arranged in the same electrochemical reactor, and the cathode and anode conversion of the electrode plate is realized by converting the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply. When the soluble metal electrode is used as the anode, the electrocoagulation occurs to remove the fluoride ions in the water, and the particle electrode also has an adsorption effect on the fluoride ions. After the fluoride ion concentration reaches the electrochemical oxidation water inlet requirement, the shape-stable electrode is used as the anode to treat the difficult-to-degrade organic matter in the wastewater. On the one hand, the particle electrode plays the role of adsorbing the difficult-to-degrade organic matter, and on the other hand, it effectively utilizes the electrolysis space and plays the role of strengthening the electric field, so that the organic matter in the wastewater can be oxidized and degraded. The reversal treatment of the two electrodes can prevent the occurrence of electrode passivation and also play a role in regenerating the particle electrode.

[0012] The equipment of the present invention has simple process, easy operation, low energy consumption, no need to add reagents during the treatment process, low sludge production, no secondary pollution, and can achieve green and efficient treatment of difficult-to-degrade organic matter in high-salt coal chemical wastewater.
