Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production and sterilization technology, and in particular to a ballast water sterilization reactor based on photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of marine transportation, the indiscriminate discharge of ballast water has made the problem of marine pollution increasingly serious. The untreated ballast water directly discharged into the sea can cause the extinction of native marine organisms and other risks. Therefore, how to effectively treat ballast water has attracted widespread attention. Common ballast water treatment methods include electrochemistry, ultraviolet radiation, ozone, etc. However, these methods have obvious shortcomings. Compared with these traditional treatment methods, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sterilization provides a more green and environmentally friendly way to treat ballast water. H2O2 has high sterilization efficiency, and long-term use of H2O2 will not cause bacteria to develop resistance. The decomposition products of H2O2 are only water and oxygen, and no toxic by-products are produced during disinfection.

[0003] However, the current industrial method for large-scale production of H2O2 is anthraquinone method, but it has the disadvantages of consuming a large amount of energy, complex process, producing toxic waste liquid and relying on noble metal catalysts. At the same time, in order to save costs, H2O2 is usually concentrated before transportation. However, high-concentration H2O2 needs to be transported in special containers, and also has the risk of explosion. In actual use, high-concentration H2O2 also needs to be diluted to an appropriate concentration for use. Such a complicated and complex process obviously cannot be applied to ship ballast water sterilization. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a green and safe in-situ production technology for H2O2. SUMMARY
