Evaporation and crystallization are commonly used in industry to remove salt from such wastewater, but this process is costly and difficult to process. Conventional biochemical treatments inhibit microbial activity due to high salt concentrations, reducing treatment efficiency. In severe cases, they can cause microbial dehydration and death, leading to the collapse of the biochemical system. Furthermore, toxic, recalcitrant organic matter in the wastewater can also reduce biochemical treatment efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a microfluidic multi-membrane stacked electrolysis device for treating high-salt organic wastewater, realizing the resource utilization of salt in the wastewater, improving the biodegradability of the wastewater, and reducing the cost of treating such wastewater.

[0009] Reaction principle of microfluidic multi-membrane stack electrolysis device:

[0010] Anode chamber reaction: H2O-e - → OH+H + (or OH - -e - →·OH); RH+·OH→R·+H2O, the addition of porous adsorption materials increases the ratio of the specific surface area of ​​the reactor to the volume of the reaction chamber, promoting the transformation of the anode chamber into a microfluidic reactor;

[0015] (1) The microfluidic multi-membrane stacked electrolysis device for high-salt organic wastewater uses a microfluidic multi-membrane stacked electrolysis process to recover salt resources and reduce the cost of subsequent wastewater treatment. Under the action of an external electric field, cations and anions in the wastewater undergo directional migration and enter the acid and alkali solution chamber through the anion and cation exchange membranes, respectively, to achieve the purpose of salt recovery.

[0016] (2) High-salt organic wastewater directly enters the electrode chamber, where organic matter undergoes degradation reactions, converting large molecular organic matter into small molecular organic matter, thereby improving the biodegradability of the wastewater.
