AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The treatment of sludge filtrate involves high energy consumption, large amounts of flocculants, and significant impact on the operating load of wastewater treatment plants. Existing technologies are insufficient for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants.

Method used

A hierarchical porous carbon catalyst was prepared as the anode. The organic matter in the sludge filtrate was oxidized by activated oxygen molecules under ambient temperature and pressure using electrically driven CWAO technology. The porous carbon material formed by combining MOF material and graphite felt, with its microporous and macroporous structures, achieved uniform dispersion of catalytic active sites and efficient mass transfer of reactants.

Benefits of technology

The COD removal rate of sludge filtrate reached 82.8% within 2 hours, which improved the degradation efficiency of organic pollutants, reduced energy consumption and flocculant dosage, and reduced the load impact on the sewage treatment plant.

Abstract

The application discloses preparation of a hierarchical porous carbon catalyst and application of the hierarchical porous carbon catalyst in sludge filtrate treatment. Zinc nitrate and 2-methyl imidazole are respectively dissolved in an organic solvent, and after mixing, MOF is generated through self-assembly under certain conditions, centrifugation, washing and drying are carried out, and then MOF powder is obtained; the obtained MOF powder is loaded on the surface of pretreated graphite felt, and high-temperature heat treatment is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then a hierarchical porous carbon catalyst is obtained. In a three-electrode system at normal temperature and normal pressure, the hierarchical porous carbon prepared by the application is used as an anode, and under the action of a weak electric field, oxygen molecules in an aqueous solution are catalytically activated to oxidize organic matters in sludge filtrate, and the COD removal rate of the sludge filtrate can reach 82.8% within 2h.
