Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electrochemical hydrogen storage, and particularly relates to an electrochemical reduction hydrogen storage method for industrial wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nitrogen pollution in industrial wastewater is one of the important problems in environmental governance. A large amount of nitrogen-containing wastewater is discharged in the production processes of fertilizer production, petroleum chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, etc., and the nitrogen in the wastewater mainly exists in the form of nitrate and nitrite. Once the wastewater is discharged into water bodies without treatment, it will cause eutrophication of the ecological system, pollute drinking water resources, and seriously threaten human health.

[0003] At present, common industrial wastewater denitrification technologies include biological denitrification, chemical nitrogen removal, membrane separation, etc. These technologies can effectively remove nitrogen pollutants in wastewater, but there are many limitations in the scope of application. The denitrification products cannot be effectively utilized or still need further treatment due to the influence of wastewater characteristics. Ammonia, as one of the most common chemical products in modern society, has been widely used in agriculture, medicine, textiles, etc. Its mature storage and transportation process and high energy density are expected to become a new type of hydrogen storage energy. In recent years, the electrochemical reduction of nitrogen oxides in industrial wastewater using renewable energy power has attracted widespread attention. Using green energy, high-valence nitrate and nitrite can be reduced to ammonia to realize hydrogen storage. This technology not only can replace the Haber-Bosch process with huge energy consumption, but also can effectively treat industrial wastewater to realize nitrogen cycle. However, the existing electrochemical treatment technology is affected by the concentration of nitrogen oxides in wastewater, especially the treatment effect of low-concentration nitrogen oxides is not good. Moreover, the reduction reaction of nitrogen oxides between the solid-liquid phases of the working electrode causes the problem of local mass transfer of reactants and intermediates, affecting the reaction efficiency.

[0004] In view of the above, it is of great application value to develop an efficient electrochemical reduction hydrogen storage method for industrial wastewater. SUMMARY

[0009] S3: assembling an electrochemical reactor, and placing the catholyte in a cathode chamber and the anolyte in an anode chamber, inserting a working electrode into the catholyte and an anode electrode into the anolyte, separating the cathode chamber and the anode chamber by a proton membrane, and forming a current loop;

[0010] S4: after introducing a protective gas into the cathode chamber, turning on the power supply, introducing an electric current into the electrochemical reactor through the working electrode and the anode electrode, and making the electrochemical reactor perform an electrochemical reaction at a preset temperature.

[0011] Further, the solid catalyst is one or more of platinum carbon, rhodium carbon, ruthenium carbon, palladium carbon and molybdenum sulfide; the polyacid is one or more of tungsten, titanium, molybdenum or antimony metal acid. The polyacid refers to polyoxometalate.

[0014] Further, the concentration of the polyacid in the catholyte is 0.01-0.5 mol / L, and the concentration of the solid catalyst in the catholyte is 0.4-8 g / L.

[0016] Further, after the electrochemical reaction, the solid catalyst in the catholyte is recovered by filtration, the ammonium salt and the polyacid are obtained by cation and anion exchange separation of the filtered catholyte, and finally the solid product ammonium salt and the polyacid are obtained by evaporation crystallization. If the catholyte is a basic solution, ammonia water and ammonia gas can be obtained by heating.

[0017] Further, the industrial wastewater is derived from wastewater generated by chemical fertilizer production, petrochemical industry, pharmaceutical and food industry, printing and cleaning, or nuclear power station, and is prepared into catholyte for standby use after filtration treatment.

Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 The flowchart of the electrochemical reduction hydrogen storage method for industrial wastewater provided by the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the electrochemical reduction hydrogen storage method for industrial wastewater provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0030] S1: Mix the solid catalyst, polyacid, and industrial wastewater to obtain a liquid that can be used as a cathode liquid.

[0031] The catholy solution contains 0.01-0.5 mol / L of polyacid, 0.4-8 g / L of solid catalyst, and 0.05 mmol / L-1.8 mol / L of nitrogen oxides. In practical applications, the concentration of polyacid can be adjusted according to the concentration of nitrogen oxides.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment, the polyacid can be a metal acid of tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, or antimony, such as silicotungstic acid, phosphotungstic acid, phosphomolybdic acid, etc. The solid catalyst is one or more of platinum on carbon, rhodium on carbon, ruthenium on carbon, palladium on carbon, and molybdenum sulfide.

[0033] S2: Prepare a protonated solution of a certain concentration as the anolyte for later use.

[0034] The protonated solution can dissociate into protons (hydrogen ions) in the solution and pass through the proton exchange membrane into the catholyte, providing a sufficient hydrogen source for the reduction and storage of nitrogen oxides in industrial wastewater. In a further preferred embodiment, the protonated solution includes acidic solutions such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid; salt solutions such as sodium phosphate, sodium sulfate, and sodium chloride; and alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium bicarbonate.

[0035] S3: An electrochemical reactor (electrolytic cell) is constructed using the above-mentioned catholy and anolyte. A working electrode is inserted into the catholy and an anode electrode is inserted into the anolyte. The two chambers are separated by a proton exchange membrane, forming a current loop.

[0036] Specifically, the electrolytic cell adopts a three-electrode system, the working electrode adopts graphite, the counter electrode adopts platinum mesh, and the reference electrode adopts a silver / silver chloride electrode. The proton exchange membrane allows protons hydrogen in the anode liquid to pass into the cathode liquid, and effectively separates the anode liquid and the cathode liquid. Currently, Nafion-115, Nafion-117 membrane and the like can be used.

[0037] S4: After the protective gas is introduced into the above-mentioned cathode chamber, the power switch is turned on, the current is introduced into the electrolytic cell, and the electrochemical reaction is carried out at a certain temperature, so that the purposes of wastewater treatment and hydrogen storage can be achieved. According to the concentration of nitrogen oxide compounds in the wastewater, the current density and the reaction temperature can be adjusted to improve the electrolysis efficiency.

[0038] The reaction process of the electrochemical reactor constructed by the present application is as follows:

[0039] Cathode reaction 1:

[0040] Cathode reaction 2:

[0041] Anode reaction: Proton solution→oxygen+proton+electron.

[0042] Among them, the hydrogen storage wastewater refers to the wastewater in which the nitrogen oxide compounds are reduced to ammonia water or ammonium salt. The proton refers to the hydrogen ion, and the proton and the electron can combine to form active hydrogen. And because the reduction potential of the cathode polyacid is low, the hydrogen ion can be prevented from forming hydrogen gas overflow.

[0043] Under the action of electric energy and solid catalyst, the active hydrogen generated in the cathode chamber will not form hydrogen gas overflow, but will combine with the polyacid to become a reduced state polyacid, which becomes an electron carrier; further, under the action of the catalyst, the nitrogen oxide compounds in the cathode liquid react with the reduced state polyacid, the nitrogen-oxygen bond is gradually broken, and at the same time, the active hydrogen released by the polyacid is combined, and finally ammonia is generated to achieve the purpose of hydrogen storage.

[0054] Example 6

[0055] Take 25 mL of industrial wastewater, add tungstosilicic acid and rhodium carbon inside, mix well to get catholyte for standby, where the concentration of tungstosilicic acid is 0.5 mol / L, the content of catalyst is 8 g / L, and the concentration of nitrogen oxide is 1.8 mol / L; prepare 5 mol / L phosphoric acid solution as anolyte for standby.

[0056] The faradaic efficiency and ammonia yield of Examples 1-6 were calculated, and the formula for calculating the ammonia yield was The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1 Experimental results of treating industrial wastewater under different parameters in Examples 1-6

[0058] Examples Faraday efficiency (%) Ammonia yield (%) Example 1 94.3 90.3 Example 2 94.1 92.7 Example 3 97.0 94.2 Example 4 97.2 96.4 Example 5 98.1 96.9 Example 6 97.9 96.4

[0059] As can be seen from Table 1, the method for electrochemically treating industrial wastewater to store hydrogen provided by the application has high ammonia yield and faradaic efficiency, indicating that the reaction efficiency and energy conversion efficiency of the battery are high. When the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the industrial wastewater is only 0.05 mol / L, the yield is also high. When the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the industrial wastewater increases, the concentration of silicotungstic acid in the cathode liquid and the concentration of phosphoric acid in the anode liquid can be increased accordingly. In order to improve the reduction efficiency, the current density of the electrolytic cell can be further increased. The application can adapt to a wide range of electrolysis parameters, while having good electrolytic reduction effect.

[0060] Comparative Example 1

[0061] 25 mL of industrial wastewater was measured and silicotungstic acid was added inside to obtain a cathode liquid for standby, wherein the concentration of silicotungstic acid was 0.25 mol / L, and the concentration of nitrogen oxides was 0.5 mol / L; a phosphoric acid solution with a concentration of 2.5 mol / L was prepared as an anode liquid for standby. An H-type electrolytic cell was assembled, the middle was separated by a Nafion-117 membrane, the cathode liquid and the anode liquid were respectively filled into the two sides of the electrolytic cell, a graphite electrode and a silver / silver chloride electrode were inserted into the cathode liquid, and a platinum mesh electrode was inserted into the anode liquid. The electrodes were connected with a constant current instrument. After argon was introduced into the cathode liquid side for 20 min, the power was turned on, and the current density was set to 1000 mA / cm 2 The reaction temperature was 30°C, and the reaction time was 4h. After electrolysis, the reduction product and silicotungstic acid were separated, and the separation method was the same as that in Example 1.

[0062] In this comparative example 1, the faradaic efficiency was 30.5%, and the ammonia yield was 15.2%. It can be seen that when no catalyst is added to the cathode liquid, the hydrogen gas produced in the cathode liquid is difficult to combine with silicotungstic acid to form an electron carrier, thereby seriously affecting the reduction efficiency and yield of nitrogen oxides.

[0063] Comparative Example 2

[0064] Take 25 mL industrial wastewater, add sulfuric acid and 200 mg rhodium carbon inside, mix well to obtain catholyte for standby, wherein the concentration of sulfuric acid is 0.25 mol / L, and the concentration of nitrogen oxide is 0.5 mol / L; prepare a phosphoric acid solution with a concentration of 2.5 mol / L as anode liquid for standby. Assemble H-type electrolytic cell, separate the catholyte and anode liquid with Nafion-117 membrane, insert graphite electrode and silver / silver chloride electrode into the catholyte, and platinum mesh electrode into the anode liquid, and connect the electrodes with constant current instrument. After argon is introduced into the catholyte for 20 min, the power is turned on, the current density is set to 1000 mA / cm 2 After the electrolysis is completed, the reduction product, sulfuric acid and solid catalyst are separated, and the separation method is the same as that in example 1.

[0065] In the present comparative example 2, the faraday efficiency is 10.5%, and the ammonia yield is 7.2%, which is significantly lower than that of the examples. It can be seen that when no silicotungstic acid is added to the catholyte, the hydrogen generated in the catholyte is difficult to be supported and transferred to the catholyte, and therefore the problems and the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction in the cathode will reduce the reduction treatment effect of the wastewater.

[0066] In summary, by improving the specific parameters and conditions of the electrochemical treatment used in the wastewater treatment method, the present application has wide applicability and strong controllability compared with the existing wastewater denitrification technology. Compared with the existing electrochemical treatment technology, the present application can effectively solve the influence of reactants and intermediates on heat and mass transfer in the traditional electrochemical method, improve the reaction efficiency, and greatly reduce the wastewater treatment cost.
