[0032] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this is an apparatus for recovering ammonia and hydrogen energy from high-ammonia nitrogen organic wastewater according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. It includes an electrolytic cell 1, with a first graphite cathode 6 and a second graphite cathode 6 (which are plate-shaped electrodes) respectively provided at both ends of the electrolytic cell. A DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 (which is a plate-shaped or rod-shaped electrode) is provided in the middle of the electrolytic cell 1. The distances from the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 to the first graphite cathode 6 and the second graphite cathode 6 are equal.

[0035] The first graphite cathode 6 is separated from the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 by a first distance, within which a monovalent cation selective permeable membrane or an ammonium ion selective permeable membrane 8 is provided. The second graphite cathode 6 is separated from the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 by a second distance, within which a monovalent cation selective permeable membrane or an ammonium ion selective permeable membrane 8 is provided. The first graphite cathode 6 and the second graphite cathode 6 are connected to the negative electrode of the chemical workstation 19, and the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 is connected to the positive electrode of the chemical workstation 19. The DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 and the monovalent cation selective permeable membranes or ammonium ion selective permeable membranes 8 on both sides form an anode chamber 10. The first graphite cathode 6 and the adjacent monovalent cation selective permeable membrane or ammonium ion selective permeable membrane 8, and the second graphite cathode 6 and the adjacent monovalent cation selective permeable membrane or ammonium ion selective permeable membrane 8 respectively form cathode chambers 9.

[0036] The anode chamber 10 is provided with a water inlet 4 at the bottom for inputting high ammonia-nitrogen organic wastewater to be treated, and a water outlet 5 at the top for outputting the organic wastewater treated by oxidation and degradation. The cathode chamber 9 is provided with an absorption liquid inlet 1 at the bottom for inputting absorption liquid, and a gas outlet 2 and an absorption liquid pump 3 at the top. The absorption liquid pump 3 is connected to a circulating absorption liquid tank 12. The gas outlet 2 discharges hydrogen gas, and is connected to a hydrogen storage tank 18. The circulating absorption liquid tank 12 is also connected to the absorption liquid inlet 1 at the bottom of the cathode chamber 9, and the ammonium salt in the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 and the acid liquid from an acid liquid tank 13 are input into the cathode chamber 9 through circulation to accumulate the ammonium salt to a higher concentration. A pH sensor 17 is arranged on the circulating absorption liquid tank 12, and when the pH sensor 17 monitors that the pH in the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 is greater than or equal to 8.5, the operation of the absorption liquid pump 3 is stopped, the ammonium salt solution in the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 is discharged and mixed with the alkali liquid output from an alkali liquid tank 14 to react, and then enters an ammonia evaporation tower 15 for evaporation. The ammonia gas generated by evaporation is collected. The ammonia gas is input into a refrigeration compression tank 16 for low-temperature compression to form liquid ammonia (ammonia energy). In the embodiment, the absorption liquid input into the absorption liquid inlet 1 is acid liquid, the absorption liquid is stored in the acid liquid tank 13, the acid liquid in the acid liquid tank 13 is dilute sulfuric acid, and the alkali liquid in the alkali liquid tank 14 is sodium hydroxide solution. The acid liquid tank 13 is connected to the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 or the absorption liquid inlet 1.

[0037] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0038] The high ammonia-nitrogen organic wastewater is stored in a wastewater storage tank 11, which is used to homogenize the wastewater and stabilize the input speed into the electrolytic tank 1. After the high ammonia-nitrogen organic wastewater is input into the anode chamber 10, the organic pollutants in the wastewater are directly oxidized and degraded on the surface of the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7, so that the COD in the wastewater is reduced, and then discharged from the water outlet 5 at the top of the anode chamber 10. The acid liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) in the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 is input into the cathode chamber 9 under the action of a pump from the absorption liquid inlet 1. Under the action of the electric field, the cations and NH4 + Under the action of the electric field, the monovalent cations or the ammonium ions pass through the monovalent cation selective permeation membrane or the ammonium ion selective permeation membrane 8 into the cathode chamber 9, and the NH4 + react with SO4 2- to generate (NH4)2SO4, which is discharged from the absorption liquid pump 3 together with the absorption liquid dilute sulfuric acid and returned to the circulating absorption liquid tank 12. Since the ammonium salt and the dilute sulfuric acid solution in the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 are continuously circulated between the cathode chamber 9 and the circulating absorption liquid tank 12, the concentration of the ammonium salt in the circulating absorption liquid tank 12 becomes higher and higher. The H + On the surface of the graphite cathode 6, the H

[0039] As the process of treating organic waste water continues, the concentration of (NH4)2SO4 in the circulating absorption tank 12 increases, and the pH in the circulating absorption tank 12 increases as well. When the pH in the circulating absorption tank 12 reaches 8.5, the system is stopped, and the solution in the circulating absorption tank 12 is drained out. The solution is mixed with the NaOH solution from the alkali tank 14 to form Na2SO4 and NH4OH, which are fed into the ammonia distillation tower 15. In the ammonia distillation tower 15, Na2SO4 is discharged from the bottom of the ammonia distillation tower 15 and collected, and NH3 is discharged from the top of the ammonia distillation tower 15 and fed into the refrigeration compression tank 16 to form liquid ammonia, which is stored as ammonia energy. After the solution in the circulating absorption tank 12 is drained out, the acid tank 13 quickly injects new dilute H2SO4 solution into the circulating absorption tank 12, and the system is started again.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the alkali solution stored in the alkali tank 14 is NaOH solution. In other embodiments, the alkali solution stored in the alkali tank 14 is calcium hydroxide solution, or the alkali tank 14 is removed, and calcium oxide powder is directly sprayed into the ammonia distillation tower 15, and calcium sulfate solid (i.e. gypsum) is discharged from the bottom of the ammonia distillation tower 15.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the acid solution stored in the acid tank 13 is dilute sulfuric acid solution. In other embodiments, the dilute sulfuric acid solution can be replaced by dilute nitric acid solution, dilute hydrochloric acid solution, sulfurous acid, nitric acid or nitrous acid. When the acid solution is nitric acid solution, the circulating absorption tank 12 can produce ammonium nitrate (a nitrogen-rich fertilizer), which can be concentrated or concentrated combined with refrigeration crystallization to obtain ammonium nitrate crystals.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the acid solution stored in the acid tank 13 is dilute sulfuric acid solution. In other embodiments, the dilute sulfuric acid solution can be replaced by carbonic acid solution. When the absorption solution input into the cathode chamber is carbonic acid solution, the gas discharged from the gas outlet 2 can include CO2 and hydrogen gas, and a gas washing tank 181 is provided between the gas outlet 2 and the hydrogen storage tank 18. The gas washing medium in the gas washing tank 181 is sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, dilute acid or water. The circulating absorption tank 12 outputs ammonium carbonate, which reacts with sodium hydroxide output from the alkali tank 14 to produce ammonia gas and baking soda, or reacts with calcium hydroxide output from the alkali tank 14 to produce ammonia gas and calcium carbonate solid. When the gas washing medium in the gas washing tank is dilute acid or water, the gas washing tank is also connected to the acid tank 13 or the absorption solution inlet 1 to provide part of the acid solution as absorption solution, and to produce hydrogen gas on the surface of the graphite cathode 6.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] As Figure 2As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the acid in the acid tank 13 is the acid produced by the acid-producing tower 131, which is connected to wastewater and acidic waste gas from the power plant. The acidic waste gas includes at least one of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur trioxide, and carbon dioxide. The absorbent stored in the acid tank 13 is at least one or a combination of two or more of the following: carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, nitric acid, or nitrous acid. Since acids such as carbonic acid, sulfurous acid, and nitrous acid are unstable and easily decompose, a gas scrubbing tank 181 needs to be installed between the gas outlet 2 and the hydrogen storage tank 18. The scrubbing medium in the gas scrubbing tank can be sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, dilute acid, or water to absorb CO2 or sulfur dioxide gas. When the scrubbing medium in the gas scrubbing tank 181 is dilute acid or water, the gas scrubbing tank 181 can be connected to the acid tank 13 or the absorbent inlet 1 to provide absorbent to the cathode chamber 9 and generate hydrogen on the surface of the graphite cathode 6. This embodiment can convert acidic pollutant gases emitted by power plants into acidic liquid. Using the acidic liquid as an absorbent, hydrogen is obtained in the cathode chamber 9. At the same time, the anionic portion of the acidic liquid reacts with ammonium ions to produce nitrogen fertilizer. The ammonium salt can further react with alkaline solution to generate sodium salt or calcium salt, etc., thus realizing the fixation of acidic gases and generating high-value-added clean hydrogen energy.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment differs from Embodiments 1 or 2 in that the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 is modified to improve COD degradation efficiency. The DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 is a rod-shaped electrode, with a large insulating mesh cylinder 71 arranged around it as the center. The insulating mesh cylinder 71 occupies the anode chamber 10, and stainless steel spheres 72 with a diameter of 1-10 mm are filled inside the insulating mesh cylinder 71. The stainless steel spheres 72 are conductive and have a noble metal coating on their surface, thereby greatly increasing the actual electrode catalytic area of ​​the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 and improving its ability to degrade COD in high ammonia nitrogen organic wastewater.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, the difference between the present embodiment and Embodiments 1 or 2 is that the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 is modified to improve the COD degradation efficiency. The DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 is a rod-shaped electrode, and a plurality of horizontal stainless steel meshes 73 are installed along the height direction of the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7, the horizontal stainless steel meshes 73 have a noble metal coating on the surface and take the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 as the central axis; the mesh size of the horizontal stainless steel meshes is 0.5-5 mm, and the horizontal length of the horizontal stainless steel meshes 73 occupies the anode chamber 10. Molecular sieve or shell (preferably coconut shell) activated carbon 74 is filled between two adjacent horizontal stainless steel meshes, through these large-particle adsorbents, the adsorption and fixation of small-molecule organic matter in water and the time-delay residence of large-molecule organic matter can be strengthened, so as to strengthen the removal capacity of the DSA catalytic oxidation anode 7 to the COD in water. According to the test, the technical effect of the present embodiment is better than that of Embodiment 3.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
