Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a method for preparing a confined carbon film electrode and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are distributed in water bodies, soil, and air in my country, with the aquatic environment being the primary carrier of POPs. Traditional water treatment processes are generally ineffective in removing these POPs, while advanced oxidation technologies (AOs) exhibit excellent degradation capabilities by generating hydroxyl radicals; however, they are susceptible to the influence of water composition and environmental factors.
[0003] Compared to radical oxidation systems in advanced oxidation technologies, which are dominated by hydroxyl and sulfate radicals, non-radical substances, such as singlet oxygen, are more effective. 1 O2 is considered to have excellent resistance to environmental substrate interference and a wide pH adaptability, making it more suitable for treating complex wastewater. Hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals may be consumed in chain reactions with anions in water, or even produce toxic byproducts. However, those with electrophilic properties... 1 O2 exhibits good selectivity for electron-rich organic pollutants and is insensitive to anions.
[0004] Electrocatalytic membrane filtration technology is considered one of the most promising technologies in next-generation water treatment. Electrocatalysis can easily synthesize key precursors for in-situ generation of singlet oxygen. With the support of an electric field, effective activation of the precursors can be achieved, and... 1 O2 generation. Electrocatalytic membrane filtration technology can effectively remove pollutants at high flux under low transmembrane pressure, thus being significantly superior to traditional membrane filtration technologies that rely solely on physical retention mechanisms. This integration of electrocatalysis and membrane filtration results in excellent water treatment efficiency.
[0005] In conventional electrocatalytic systems, the oxygen evolution reaction at the anode is generally considered a side reaction that does not contribute to the degradation of organic matter and is a major factor reducing overall current efficiency. The generation of H2O2 via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode has become a promising synthetic method. In electrocatalytic systems, H2O2 is synthesized... 1 One of the key precursors of O2, therefore, by using oxygen as a recyclable resource to supply the cathode to generate H2O2 in situ through a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction, the risks of storing, transporting and utilizing hydrogen peroxide are avoided.
[0006] Numerous studies have shown that carbon nanotubes are the source of... 1 Effective electrode materials for H2O2, a key precursor of O2, are urgently needed. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel electrode materials and stable electrocatalytic reactors capable of selectively and effectively degrading persistent organic pollutants in real-world water conditions.

The mass concentration of the organic pollutants in the water is 5 mg / L, and the mass concentration of the sodium sulfate in the water is 50 mmol / L.
[0110] The confined carbon film electrodes obtained in Examples 1-3 of this invention are used as the cathodes of the water purification membrane electrode reactor, and the carbon fiber felt film electrode is used as the anode. The solution to be degraded is used as the electrolyte of the water purification membrane electrode reactor. The structure of the water purification membrane reactor is as shown in the appendix to the specification. Figure 3 As shown. The assembly structure of the membrane module in the water purification membrane reactor is as shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 4 As shown, from top to bottom, the components are: PTFE gasket, stainless steel mesh, carbon fiber felt membrane electrode, PTFE gasket, PTFE filter membrane, confined carbon membrane electrode, titanium mesh, and PTFE gasket. The membrane module in the water purification membrane reactor is clamped by the top and bottom plates of the water purification membrane reactor. The diameter of the membrane module is 30mm.
[0111] The middle part of the top plate of the water purification membrane reactor contains a large cylindrical cavity and a small cylindrical cavity. The large cylindrical cavity is located above the small cylindrical cavity. The axis of the large cylindrical cavity coincides with that of the small cylindrical cavity. The adjacent end faces of the large cylindrical cavity and the small cylindrical cavity are tightly sealed to each other. The large cylindrical cavity and the small cylindrical cavity are integrally formed. A small hole is formed in the bottom end face of the large cylindrical cavity. The diameter of the small hole is 4 mm. The large cylindrical cavity and the small cylindrical cavity are in communication with each other through the small hole. The upper end of the small cylindrical cavity is open. The lower end of the small cylindrical cavity is open. Each horizontal cross section of the small cylindrical cavity along its axis is a hollow circle. The inner diameter of the hollow circle is equal to the diameter of the membrane assembly.
