The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. The detailed description and the accompanying drawings should be considered only as illustrative, not restrictive, and if there are any such modifications and variations, they will fall within the scope of the present invention described herein. In addition, the background technology is intended to illustrate the current status and significance of the research and development of the present technology, and is not intended to limit the present invention or the application field of the present application and the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] A capacitor deionization electrochemical treatment device of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a device body 100, an electrode module 200, an electrode slot 300 and a water inlet 400. The water inlet 400 is provided with a spray water inlet head, and the water inlet 400 is arranged above the device body 100. The spraying method can slow down the impact of water flow on the electrode module 200, and the sprayed water will spray to the edge of the first electrode module 200, and the water flows from the edge to the center, which can play a role in slowing down the flow rate of the water flow; the spraying process can also play a role in aeration, oxidizing a part of the organic matter, solving the problem of poor effect of the electric adsorption device in removing pollutants.

[0034] The device body 100 is generally cylindrical and includes a housing 110 and a support member 120. The support member 120 is disposed on one side of the housing 110. Figure 3 As shown, the support member 120 is provided with an electrode slot 300, and the electrode module 200 is detachably provided on the support member 120 through the electrode slot 300, and the electrode slot 300 can provide positive or negative electricity for the electrode module 200. The top of the housing 110 is uncovered, and a bottom plate 130 is detachably provided at the bottom.

[0035] Moreover, the present invention is also provided with an electrode actuator 500, which includes a transmission belt 510 and a driving device 520. The driving device 520 is arranged between the support 120 and the transmission belt 510, and is used to drive the transmission belt 510 to move around the support 120. The transmission belt 510 is arranged around the support 120 and can move relatively along the length direction of the support 120. The transmission belt 510 is provided with an electrode card slot 300, and the electrode module 200 is arranged on the transmission belt 510 through the electrode card slot 300, and the electrode card slot 300 provides positive or negative electricity for the electrode module 200. It is worth noting that the electrode card slot 300 can be a magnetic card slot, so that the card installation is more convenient and firm. The electrode module 200 is arranged on the inner and outer sides of the device body 100 through the electrode card slot 300 perpendicular to the movement direction of the electrode actuator 500. During replacement, the electrode module 200 outside the device body 100 is removed from the electrode slot 300 , and a new electrode module 200 is inserted into the electrode slot 300 , and the electrode actuator 500 is operated to transfer the new electrode module 200 to the inside of the device body 100 .

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the electrode module 200 includes an anode module 210 and a cathode module 220, and the anode module 210 and the cathode module 220 are arranged in parallel. Generally speaking, during the use of the electrode module 200, the anode module 210 is located above the cathode module 220. The diameter of the anode module 210 is D1, the diameter of the cathode module 220 is D2, and the inner diameter of the device body 100 is D3, then D1=D2<D3. In actual applications, the diameter D1 of the anode module 210 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the device. The diameter of the anode module 210 is D1, and the inner diameter of the anode water inlet hole 213 is D4, D4:D1=1:5-1:9. The anode module 210 includes an anode support plate 211, an anode electrode plate 212 and an anode water inlet 213. The anode water inlet 213 is arranged in the middle of the anode electrode plate 212. The anode electrode plate 212 is arranged on the anode support plate 211. The anode support plate 211 is generally made of metal, and the diameter of the anode support plate 211 is generally larger than the diameter of the anode electrode plate 212. It is worth noting that the anode support plate 211 can be set in a ring shape and set on the outside of the anode electrode plate 212, or it can be set in a circle and set at the bottom of the anode electrode plate 212. When the anode support plate 211 is set at the bottom, the anode support plate 211 has the best supporting effect on the anode electrode plate 212. An anode sealing ring 214 is arranged on the peripheral side of the anode support plate 211. The material of the anode sealing ring 214 has a certain elasticity to prevent the spray water from leaking out from the gap between the anode support plate 211 and the device body 100. It is worth noting that if Figure 4As shown, the upper surface of the anode module 210 can be set to be concave, and the angle between the concave surface and the horizontal plane does not exceed 15°, so that the water flow can slowly flow into the anode water inlet hole 213 and does not stay on the upper surface of the anode module 210. In addition, the width of the anode sealing ring 214 is much smaller than the diameter of the anode module 210. To further illustrate, the width of the anode sealing ring 214 is L, and the diameter of the anode module 210 is D1, then D1>35L.

[0037] The cathode module 220 includes a cathode support plate 221, a cathode electrode plate 222 and a cathode water outlet 223. The cathode support plate 221 is generally made of metal, and the diameter of the cathode support plate 221 is generally larger than the diameter of the cathode electrode plate 222. In practical applications, the diameter D2 of the cathode module 220 is generally slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the device body 100. Figure 2 As shown, a cathode sealing ring 224 is provided on the circumferential side of the cathode support plate 221. The material of the sealing ring has a certain elasticity to prevent wastewater from leaking from the gap between the cathode support plate 221 and the device body 100. In addition, the width of the cathode sealing ring 224 is much smaller than the diameter of the cathode module 220. To further illustrate, the width of the cathode sealing ring 224 is L, and the diameter of the cathode module 220 is D2, then D2>35L. The cathode electrode plate 222 and the cathode water outlet 223 are arranged on the cathode support plate 221, and the cathode water outlet 223 is arranged at the edge of the cathode support plate 221. The cathode support plate 221 can be set to be annular and arranged on the outside of the cathode electrode plate 222, or it can be set to be circular and arranged at the lower part of the cathode electrode plate 222. When the cathode support plate 221 is arranged at the lower part, the cathode support plate 221 has the best supporting effect on the cathode electrode plate 222. It is worth noting that, if Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the cathode module 220 can be set to be low on the outside and high in the middle, and generally the angle with the horizontal plane does not exceed 15°, so that the water flow can slowly flow into the cathode water outlet 223 and does not stay on the upper surface of the cathode module 220.

[0038] The electrode plate is generally made of one or more materials such as nickel foam, titanium foam, graphite paper, etc. The electrode plate is coated with electrode material, which is made of one or more of graphene, activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, carbon aerogel and modified composite materials thereof. The electrode material coating density is 3.0-5.0 mg / cm 2 .

[0039] It is worth noting that the valve of the water inlet 400, the bottom plate 130 and the electrode actuator 500 can all be intelligently controlled by the PLC system. Among them, the electric control system in the PLC system controls the power on and off of the anode support plate 211 and the cathode support plate 221, and the power on voltage and the reverse voltage are both 1.0-5.0V.

[0040] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the anode water inlet 213 is equal to the sum of the areas of the cathode water outlet 223, so that the water inlet volume is equal to the water outlet volume. At this time, the water inlet and outlet efficiency of the device is the highest, further improving the treatment efficiency of the electrosorption device. In addition, the diameter of the anode module 210 is D1, the inner diameter of the anode water inlet 213 is D4, D4:D1=1:5, the width of the cathode sealing ring 224 is L, the diameter of the cathode module 220 is D2, D2=38L, and the cathode water outlet 223 is set to 8. Electrode material coating density 5.0mg / cm 2 , the connected and reverse voltage is 2.5 V. When the above parameters are used to treat sewage with a fluoride ion concentration of 4 mg / L and a sulfate ion concentration of 1000 mg / L, the fluoride ion removal rate is 93% and the sulfate ion removal rate is 97%.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The basic content of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1, except that: in this embodiment, the area of ​​the anode water inlet hole 213 is smaller than the sum of the areas of the cathode water outlet holes 223, and the water inlet volume is smaller than the water outlet volume. The diameter of the anode module 210 is D1, the inner diameter of the anode water inlet hole 213 is D4, D4:D1=1:8, the width of the cathode sealing ring 224 is L, the diameter of the cathode module 220 is D2, D2=40L, and 9 cathode water outlet holes 223 are provided on the cathode support plate 221. Electrode material coating density 4.0mg / cm 2 , the connected and reverse voltage is 1.0 V. When the above parameters are used to treat sewage with a fluoride ion concentration of 6 mg / L and a sulfate ion concentration of 2000 mg / L, the fluoride ion removal rate is 90% and the sulfate ion removal rate is 95%.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] The basic content of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1, except that: in this embodiment, the area of ​​the anode water inlet 213 is greater than the sum of the areas of the cathode water outlet 223, and the water inlet volume is greater than the water outlet volume. At this time, water flow may be retained. The diameter of the anode module 210 is D1, the inner diameter of the anode water inlet 213 is D4, D4:D1=1:9, the width of the cathode sealing ring 224 is L, the diameter of the cathode module 220 is D2, D2=41L, and 6 cathode water outlets 223 are provided on the cathode support plate 221. Electrode material coating density 3.0mg / cm 2 , the connected and reverse voltage is 5.0 V. When the above parameters are used to treat sewage with a fluoride ion concentration of 5 mg / L and a sulfate ion concentration of 1500 mg / L, the fluoride ion removal rate is 95% and the sulfate ion removal rate is 98%.
