Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of spontaneous chemical electricity generation, and in particular relates to a device and method for extracting spontaneous electricity-generating substances and coordinating in-situ conversion of wastewater. Background Art
[0002] Physical and chemical adsorption is a commonly used technique for treating uranium-containing wastewater, but its efficiency is limited by the saturation of adsorption sites and Coulombic repulsion. Recent studies have shown that direct current can reduce adsorbed U(VI) species and avoid Coulombic repulsion, thereby improving extraction efficiency. However, this method is energy-intensive. Another feasible approach is the reduction of hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) to tetravalent uranium (U(IV)). Zero-valent iron (ZVI) has attracted attention due to its affordability and availability. In the ZVI-driven uranium extraction process, soluble U(VI) is first adsorbed onto the ZVI surface and then reduced to a slightly soluble U(IV) precipitate. However, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) materials suffer from high separation costs, easy oxidation, and aggregation in complex water bodies, which reduces their long-term reactivity.
[0003] Based on the above challenges, an innovative self-generated electrochemical method is needed to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, using the potential difference generated by the redox reaction to power wastewater purification. At the same time, it can also recover uranium resources and generate violet iron ore in situ (violet iron ore has a wide range of uses and can play a role in agriculture, industry, environmental protection, medical care and other fields). This method not only improves uranium recovery efficiency, but also reduces dependence on traditional uranium resources, while also reducing energy consumption and environmental impact during wastewater treatment.

The anode chamber provides an electron flow to the cathode of the cathode chamber through an anodic oxidation reaction, thereby driving the reduction process of the metal in the cathode chamber. During this process, the anode chamber produces minerals in situ, while purifying the wastewater in the intermediate wastewater chamber.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present 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 only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1As shown, a device for extracting self-generating materials and coordinating in-situ conversion of wastewater provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a device body, wherein the device body includes an anode chamber and a cathode chamber, and an intermediate wastewater chamber is between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber; the anode chamber provides an electron flow to the cathode 4 of the cathode chamber through the anode 3 oxidation reaction, thereby driving the reduction process of the cathode chamber metal; in this process, the anode chamber produces minerals in situ, and at the same time, the wastewater in the intermediate wastewater chamber is purified.
[0025] Among them, an anion exchange membrane 1 is installed between the intermediate wastewater chamber and the anode chamber, and a cation exchange membrane 2 is installed between the intermediate wastewater chamber and the cathode chamber. The anode chamber is also provided with a mineral outlet 7 and a reaction liquid inlet 8; the cathode chamber is also provided with a reduced metal outlet 5 and a metal-containing wastewater inlet 6. It is understood that the device body can be arranged as needed to form three chambers with anion and cation membranes (i.e., the aforementioned anode chamber, intermediate wastewater chamber, and cathode chamber) or two chambers (anode chamber and cathode chamber, with a single ion exchange membrane arranged between the anode and cathode chambers).
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for self-generating chemical uranium extraction and coordinated in-situ conversion of phosphorus wastewater, which is carried out using the above-mentioned device for self-generating material extraction and coordinated in-situ conversion of wastewater, converts chemical energy into electrical energy, and uses the potential difference generated by the redox reaction to power the device, drive the wastewater purification process, and recover metals and other substances at the same time.
[0027] This method generates stable electrical energy output through the oxidation of metals such as iron, driving the recovery of cathode uranium, copper, etc. The entire process does not require additional energy input and achieves net electricity production.
[0028] The chamber is separated and specific pollutants can be selectively treated by controlling the electrode potential and electrode material.
[0029] An oxygen-deficient environment is created in the anode chamber, and acidic conditions are provided by sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc. Iron, zinc, magnesium, etc. serve as the anode 3, reacting with phosphate, fluoride ions, etc. passing through the anion exchange membrane 1 to produce blue iron ore, calcium fluoride, etc. in situ.
[0030] The intermediate wastewater chamber can be added with one of the wastewater containing phosphorus, lithium or fluorine. The ions can generate blue iron ore or calcium fluoride in situ at the anode through the anion exchange membrane 1, or generate lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, etc. at the cathode 4 through the cation exchange membrane 2.
[0031] The device is provided with an electrolyte inlet and a product outlet. As the reaction at the anode 3 proceeds, the acid is consumed and the pH value increases, which is conducive to the formation of violet iron ore (the pH value of the violet iron ore formation environment is usually between 6 and 9).
[0032] Cathode 4 uses materials such as uranium (VI) and copper. Alkaline conditions can be provided by sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and other materials. Cations pass through cation exchange membrane 2 and enter cathode 3, producing lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, and other materials. Simultaneously, cathode 4 also produces resource materials such as uranium and copper.
[0033] The cathode and anode reactions are clearly observed. In this device, the anode 3 where the iron is located produces light blue iron ore, and the cathode 4 produces yellow uranium (IV) deposits.
[0034] The circuit connection mode of the device can be series connection, parallel connection or mixed connection, which is conducive to the implementation of the method.
[0035] This method can treat wastewater containing phosphorus, lithium, fluorine, etc., and can be extended to the implementation of seawater desalination, nuclear wastewater treatment, sewage treatment and other fields.
