Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of wastewater treatment technology and resource recovery, and particularly to an ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device and method capable of generating target ammonium salts. Background Art

[0002] High-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater discharged by my country's industrial sector has become the primary source of pollution for total ammonia nitrogen emission control. Its discharge far exceeds the capacity of the receiving water environment, making it a major source of pollution for surface waters and a significant issue affecting my country's aquatic ecology. High-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater poses serious risks to the ecological environment and the human body. First, the toxicity of non-ionized ammonia in ammonia nitrogen wastewater is dozens of times greater than that of ammonium salts, making it highly toxic to aquatic organisms and humans. Second, ammonia nitrogen is a major oxygen-consuming pollutant in water, easily consuming dissolved oxygen and causing it to appear black and smelly. Third, microorganisms oxidize ammonia nitrogen into nitrite, which combines with proteins to form nitrosamines, a chemical that can cause cancer and teratogenicity. Fourth, the large-scale discharge of ammonia nitrogen wastewater can lead to eutrophication of water bodies, promote the growth of algae, and disrupt the ecological balance of the water.

[0003] To this end, Chinese patent CN202111248560.5 discloses a scheme for treating ammonia nitrogen wastewater and recovering ammonia nitrogen resources in the wastewater, which mainly utilizes the acid ions and ammonium ions in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater to enter the respective acid-producing area and ammonia-producing area through the anion exchange membrane and cation exchange membrane respectively, and form acid solution and ammonia solution respectively in the respective areas through the hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions generated by electrolysis of water, and finally generate ammonium salt solution under the action of the membrane reactor to realize the recovery of ammonia nitrogen resources in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater. However, this scheme still has the following problems: 1) Anion exchange membranes and cation exchange membranes are set on both sides of the wastewater chamber. The cation exchange membrane will cause the ion concentration in the wastewater chamber to decrease after a period of operation, resulting in an increase in operating voltage and energy consumption, and the anion membrane is more susceptible to contamination. 2) The acid formed comes from the acid radical ions in the waste liquid, which is extremely uncontrollable, resulting in poor purity of the final ammonium salt. In addition, the type of acid cannot be selected, and the advantage of directional output of the target ammonium salt is lost. 3) The ammonium radical ions must pass through two layers of cation exchange membranes to reach the target. The migration process is complex, and each step in the migration process may be accompanied by ammonia loss, affecting the final conversion efficiency of ammonia nitrogen resources. It will also affect the migration speed of ammonium radicals and reduce the efficiency of deammonification. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salts, which can effectively improve the conversion efficiency of ammonia nitrogen resources in ammonia nitrogen wastewater, and can produce high-purity target ammonium salts according to demand, which has high value, while also reducing energy consumption and saving costs.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted are as follows:

[0006] The present invention discloses an ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salts, comprising a bipolar membrane electrodialysis device and a membrane contactor, wherein the bipolar membrane electrodialysis device comprises at least one treatment unit and an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated by the treatment unit; the treatment unit comprises:

[0007] A front bipolar membrane, a middle bipolar membrane and a rear bipolar membrane are arranged in sequence in the direction from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber;

[0008] A front cation exchange membrane is disposed between the first bipolar membrane and the middle bipolar membrane; a feed chamber is formed between the front bipolar membrane and the front cation exchange membrane, and an ammonia production chamber is formed between the front cation exchange membrane and the middle bipolar membrane;

[0009] An anion exchange membrane and a post-position cation exchange membrane are sequentially arranged between the middle bipolar membrane and the post-position bipolar membrane in the direction from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber; wherein an acid generating chamber is formed between the middle bipolar membrane and the anion exchange membrane, a desalting chamber is formed between the anion exchange membrane and the post-position cation exchange membrane, and an alkali generating chamber is formed between the post-position cation exchange membrane and the post-position bipolar membrane;

[0010] Among them, the waste liquid to be treated enters from the feed chamber, and the ammonium ions in the waste liquid enter the ammonia production chamber through the front cation exchange membrane, and combine with the hydroxide ions produced by electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane in the ammonia production chamber to generate ammonia water; the salt solution can be passed into the desalination chamber, and the acid ions in the salt solution enter the acid production chamber through the anion exchange membrane, and combine with the hydrogen ions produced by electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane in the acid production chamber to generate acid; and the cations in the salt solution enter the alkali production chamber through the rear cation exchange membrane, and combine with the hydroxide ions produced by electrolysis of water by the rear bipolar membrane in the alkali production chamber to generate alkali;

[0011] The membrane contactor includes a breathable hydrophobic membrane, which divides the inner cavity of the membrane contactor into a relatively independent first chamber and a second chamber, wherein the first chamber is configured to be connected to the ammonia production chamber to receive ammonia water generated by the ammonia production chamber, and the second chamber is configured to be connected to the acid production chamber to receive acid generated by the acid production chamber. The ammonia in the ammonia water can enter the second chamber through the breathable hydrophobic membrane, and then react with the acid received from the acid production chamber in the second chamber to generate ammonium salt.

[0012] Since the present invention sets a relatively independent desalination chamber, when it is necessary to produce the target ammonium salt, it is only necessary to input the corresponding salt solution into the desalination chamber. The acid radical ions contained in the salt solution in the desalination chamber pass through the anion exchange membrane into the acid generating chamber, and combine with the hydrogen ions produced by the electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane in the acid generating chamber to generate acid, and then enter the acid chamber through the second connecting pipe. The ammonium radical ions in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater pass through the front cation exchange membrane into the ammonia generating chamber, and combine with the hydroxide ions produced by the electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane in the ammonia generating chamber to generate ammonia water, and then enter the alkali chamber through the first connecting pipe. The ammonia produced by the ammonia water in the alkali chamber enters the acid chamber through the breathable hydrophobic membrane and is captured by the acid in the acid chamber to generate the target ammonium salt. The cations contained in the salt solution in the desalination chamber enter the alkali production chamber through the post-cation exchange membrane and combine with the hydroxide ions produced by the post-bipolar membrane electrolysis of water in the alkali production chamber to generate alkali. Based on the above principle, by regularly changing the input of different types of salt solutions into the desalination chamber, the synchronous output of the target ammonium salt and alkali is achieved, which not only ensures the purity of the final ammonium salt, but also greatly meets the customer's personalized customization needs and has high application value.

[0013] At the same time, considering that most of the high-purity waste salt generated by industries such as petrochemicals and seawater desalination is still discharged into the sea as a way of treatment and disposal, the flexibility of the desalination chamber provided by the present invention is utilized to input the waste salt into the desalination chamber. Through the desalination process, valuable salts can be recovered from industrial waste salt, reducing resource waste, thereby improving the efficiency and sustainability of the entire industrial ecosystem.

[0014] When a single salt solution is input into the desalination chamber, the concentration of acid ions in the acid-generating chamber can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring that the final ammonium salt has a high purity and can also improve the output efficiency of the ammonium salt. However, the acid ions in the existing acid-generating chamber mostly come from ammonia nitrogen wastewater, which is highly uncontrollable and affects not only the purity of the final ammonium salt, but also the output efficiency of the ammonium salt.

[0015] The target ammonium salt of the present invention is related to the acid radical ions contained in the salt solution input into the desalination chamber. "Relatively independent" means that the desalination chamber is not affected by other chambers and can adapt to any salt solution input from the outside.

[0016] The present invention is based on the design of such a relatively independent desalination chamber, which makes the salt solution used highly selective and controllable, thereby converting the ammonia nitrogen resources in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater into the desired target ammonium salt, realizing the recovery of ammonia nitrogen resources in the wastewater, reducing environmental pollution, and conforming to the concept of circular economy. It can also produce the corresponding alkali, which has certain social promotion potential.

[0017] In the present invention, the two sides of the feed chamber are respectively provided with a front bipolar membrane and a front cation exchange membrane. Compared with the existing feed chamber in which the two sides are provided with an anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange membrane, the front bipolar membrane of the present invention will continuously generate hydrogen ions into the feed chamber, and the anions in the original waste liquid of the feed chamber do not migrate, thereby maintaining the ion concentration of the feed chamber. Therefore, it can effectively avoid the increase in operating voltage and energy consumption caused by the decrease in ion concentration in the feed chamber during operation, and more importantly, there will be no problem of anion exchange membrane being contaminated, thereby reducing the operating cost.

[0018] In the present invention, ammonium ions in ammonia nitrogen wastewater only pass through the front cationic membrane to enter the ammonia production chamber to generate ammonia water, which greatly accelerates the migration speed, improves the deammoniation efficiency and the purity of the final ammonium salt product.

[0019] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, at least one treatment unit is provided, and they are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence in the direction from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber. In two adjacent treatment units, the rear bipolar membrane of the previous treatment unit serves as the front bipolar membrane of the latter treatment unit.

[0020] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, the salt solution is correspondingly set based on the type of target ammonium salt to be generated.

[0021] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, the target ammonium salt is ammonium nitrate, the salt solution is set to a nitrate salt solution, the acid generated by the acid generating chamber is nitric acid, and the base generated by the base generating chamber is a base corresponding to the cation in the salt solution.

[0022] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, the ammonia production chamber is provided with a first connecting pipe for outputting ammonia water to the first chamber, the acid production chamber is provided with a second connecting pipe for outputting acid liquid to the second chamber, and the feed chamber is provided with a third connecting pipe for receiving external wastewater input, and pumps are provided on the first connecting pipe, the second connecting pipe and the third connecting pipe.

[0023] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, the pumps provided on the first connecting pipe, the second connecting pipe and the third connecting pipe are peristaltic pumps.

[0024] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, the current density input to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device is 80A / ㎡ to 200A / ㎡.

[0025] According to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device disclosed herein, which is capable of generating target ammonium salts, the breathable and hydrophobic membrane is a high-porosity breathable and hydrophobic membrane. The breathable and hydrophobic membrane has high selectivity for ammonia, enabling timely transfer of ammonia gas generated by the ammonia solution enriched in the first chamber to the second chamber, thereby improving the production efficiency of the ammonium salt. Furthermore, the membrane has high anti-pollution performance and a long service life.

[0026] The present invention also discloses a method for treating an ammonia nitrogen wastewater device capable of generating a target ammonium salt, which uses the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating a target ammonium salt disclosed above. The method comprises the following steps:

[0027] Connect the anode chamber and cathode chamber to the positive and negative poles of a power supply respectively to generate a DC electric field;

[0028] The ammonia nitrogen wastewater to be treated is transported to the feed chamber of the treatment unit, and the corresponding salt solution is selected according to the target ammonium salt and input into the desalination chamber, so that the ammonium ions contained in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater in the feed chamber enter the ammonia production chamber through the front cation exchange membrane under the action of the electric field, and combine with the hydroxide ions generated by the electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane in the ammonia production chamber to generate an ammonia solution, while the acid ions contained in the desalination chamber enter the acid production chamber through the anion exchange membrane, and combine with the hydrogen ions generated by the electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane in the acid production chamber to generate an acid solution, and the cations in the salt solution enter the alkali production chamber through the rear cation exchange membrane, and combine with the hydroxide ions generated by the electrolysis of water by the rear bipolar membrane in the alkali production chamber to generate alkali;

[0029] The ammonia solution generated by the ammonia production chamber and the acid solution generated by the acid production chamber are respectively input into the first chamber and the second chamber of the membrane contactor, so that the ammonia in the ammonia solution in the first chamber enters the second chamber through the gas-permeable hydrophobic membrane, and the acid solution in the second chamber captures the entering ammonia to enrich and form the target ammonium salt.

[0030] According to the method of the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention, the target ammonium salt is ammonium nitrate, the salt solution is set to be a nitrate salt solution, and the acid generated in the acid generating chamber is nitric acid.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0032] 1) The type of salt solution used in the independent desalination chamber provided in the present invention is highly selective and controllable. On the one hand, the introduction of a single salt solution can ensure that the purity of the acid synthesized in the acid-producing chamber is high, thereby ensuring that the purity of the final ammonium salt is high and has a high utilization value. At the same time, by directional changing the type of salt solution in the desalination chamber, the type of the final ammonium salt and the type of alkali in the alkali-producing chamber can also be customized, meeting the customization and personalization needs of the product. On the other hand, industrial waste salt is introduced, and valuable salts can be recovered from the industrial waste salt after the desalination process, reducing resource waste and converting it into usable chemical raw materials, thereby improving the efficiency and sustainability of the entire industrial ecosystem and complying with the concept of a circular economy. In addition, the desalination chamber uses a highly conductive electrolyte solution instead of water as the electrolyte. After the electrodialysis device is powered on, the resistance of the electrolyte solution is lower than that of water, which avoids the increase in energy consumption of the entire device caused by the system starting voltage being too high.

[0033] 2) The feed chamber of the present invention is flanked by a front bipolar membrane and a front cation exchange membrane, respectively. Compared with a BMED system in which the feed chamber is flanked by a cation exchange membrane and an anion exchange membrane, the risk of membrane contamination caused by electrostatic adsorption between negatively charged organic matter in the feed liquid and positively charged groups on the anion exchange membrane is reduced, thereby ensuring efficient material transmission, improving the operating efficiency of the entire system, and reducing the frequency of device cleaning and maintenance costs.

[0034] 3) The ammonium ions in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater of the present invention enter the ammonia production chamber only through the front cationic membrane to generate ammonia water, which greatly accelerates the migration speed, improves the deammoniation efficiency and the purity of the final ammonium salt product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0041] The technical solution provided by the present invention is used to treat high-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater. In the prior art, the following technical problems usually exist in the treatment of ammonia nitrogen wastewater: 1. Product purity. The anions in the feed liquid are usually not unique. If these anions are used to generate acid and then enriched in the membrane contactor, the purity of the ammonium salt obtained is not high and its value is very small; 2. The desalination chamber uses water as the electrolyte. Water with a larger resistance than the electrolyte will not only increase the starting voltage of the entire system, thereby increasing the energy consumption of operation, but also the hydrogen ions have already passed through the bipolar membrane, affecting the rate and purity of acid and alkali production; 3. After the membrane-contaminated wastewater enters the system, it comes into contact with the anion exchange membrane and the cation exchange membrane. The anion exchange membrane with positively charged fixed groups is easily electrostatically adsorbed with the negatively charged organic matter in the wastewater, resulting in membrane surface contamination, which reduces its ion exchange capacity and increases the membrane resistance; 4. Insufficient resource utilization of high-purity industrial waste salt. The high-concentration salt-containing wastewater generated by seawater desalination, petrochemical and other industries is directly discharged into the sea, causing ecological pollution, and the degree of resource utilization is not high.

[0042] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device and method capable of generating target ammonium salts. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating target ammonium salt disclosed in the present invention includes a bipolar membrane electrodialysis device and a membrane contactor, the bipolar membrane electrodialysis device includes at least one treatment unit 18 and an anode chamber 6 and a cathode chamber 7 separated by the treatment unit, the treatment unit 18 includes a front bipolar membrane 10, a front cation exchange membrane 11, a middle bipolar membrane 12, an anion exchange membrane 13, a rear cation exchange membrane 14 and a rear bipolar membrane 15 arranged in sequence along the direction from the anode chamber 6 to the cathode chamber 7, wherein the space generated between the front bipolar membrane 10 and the front cation exchange membrane 11 forms a feed chamber 1, the space generated between the front cation exchange membrane 11 and the middle bipolar membrane 12 forms an ammonia production chamber 2, the space generated between the middle bipolar membrane 12 and the anion exchange membrane 13 forms an acid production chamber 3, the space generated between the anion exchange membrane 13 and the rear cation exchange membrane 14 forms a desalination chamber 4, and the space generated between the rear cation exchange membrane 14 and the rear bipolar membrane 15 forms an alkali production chamber 5. In a particularly preferred embodiment, in a treatment unit 18, the front bipolar membrane 10, the front cation exchange membrane 11, the middle bipolar membrane 12, the anion exchange membrane 13, the rear cation exchange membrane 14 and the rear bipolar membrane 15 are all arranged as a layer to simplify the migration process, improve the deamination efficiency and the purity of the final product.

[0044] The membrane contactor includes a first chamber 8, a second chamber 9 and an air-permeable and hydrophobic membrane 16. The air-permeable and hydrophobic membrane 16 is arranged between the first chamber 8 and the second chamber 9 to separate the two. A first connecting pipe 19 is arranged between the first chamber 8 and the ammonia producing chamber 2. The ammonia solution formed in the ammonia producing chamber 2 enters the first chamber 8 through the first connecting pipe 19. A second connecting pipe 20 is arranged between the second chamber 9 and the acid producing chamber 3. The acid solution formed in the acid producing chamber 3 enters the second chamber 9 through the second connecting pipe 20.

[0045] In the implementation of the present invention, the feed chamber 1 is provided with a third connecting pipe 21 for receiving the input of high-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater from the outside. Preferably, the third connecting pipe 21 is provided with a peristaltic pump 17.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the anode chamber 6 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, and the cathode chamber 7 is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply. Specifically, a metal plate can be set in the anode chamber 6 and the cathode chamber 7 respectively, which can be a titanium alloy or a nickel-based alloy. The metal plate of the anode chamber 6 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, and the metal plate of the cathode chamber 7 is connected to the negative electrode. After power is turned on, the entire device generates a DC electric field. The front bipolar membrane 10, the middle bipolar membrane 12 and the rear bipolar membrane 15 work under the action of the DC electric field to decompose the water molecules in their middle layer into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

[0047] In the present invention, the type of electrolyte solution used in the desalination chamber 4 is highly selective and controllable. When a single salt solution is introduced, it can ensure that the acid-generating chamber 3 synthesizes a high-purity acid, thereby ensuring that a high-purity ammonium salt is ultimately obtained, which has a high application value. At the same time, by directional changes in the type of salt solution in the desalination chamber 4, the type of final ammonium salt and the type of alkali produced by the alkali-generating chamber 5 can also be customized, meeting the customization and individualization needs of the product. In addition, the desalination chamber 4 uses a highly conductive electrolyte solution instead of water as the electrolyte. After the bipolar membrane electrodialysis system is powered on, because the resistance of the electrolyte solution is lower than that of water, the system's startup voltage is prevented from being too high, which would lead to an increase in energy consumption of the entire device.

[0048] In the present invention, the feed chamber 1 is flanked by a front bipolar membrane 10 and a front cation exchange membrane 11. Compared with a BMED system in which the feed chamber is flanked by a cation exchange membrane and an anion exchange membrane, the risk of membrane contamination caused by electrostatic adsorption between negatively charged organic matter in the feed chamber and positively charged groups on the anion exchange membrane is reduced, thereby ensuring efficient material transmission, improving the operating efficiency of the entire system, and reducing the frequency of device cleaning and maintenance costs.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, considering that most of the high-purity waste salt generated by industries such as petrochemicals and seawater desalination is still disposed of by discharging into the sea, the flexibility of the desalination chamber 4 designed by the present invention can be utilized to pass the industrial waste salt into the desalination chamber 4. Through the desalination process, valuable salts can be recovered from the industrial waste salt, reducing resource waste and converting it into usable chemical raw materials, thereby improving the efficiency and sustainability of the entire industrial ecosystem.

[0050] The treatment unit 18 of the present invention realizes the selection of the types of acid, alkali and salt produced by the system, and the repetitive structure of the treatment units 18 formed by connecting them in sequence makes it have the characteristics of high efficiency, low energy consumption and high selectivity, which greatly improves the resource utilization efficiency of ammonia nitrogen wastewater, converts ammonia nitrogen resources into useful chemicals, reduces pollution to the environment, and conforms to the concept of circular economy. Other configurations using simple chambers cannot select the type of acid produced by the system; or require the addition of additional chemical additives, which has high energy consumption; or are set up with cation exchange membranes and anion exchange membranes on both sides of the feed chamber, which is more likely to cause membrane fouling; or directly pass the feed into the membrane contactor after adjusting the pH in the feed chamber, and impurity ions are likely to cause contamination of the breathable and hydrophobic membrane.

[0051] In the present invention, when there is only one processing unit 18, the front bipolar membrane 10 is separated from the anode chamber 6, and the rear bipolar membrane 15 is separated from the cathode chamber 7. When there are two or more processing units 18, between the processing units 18, the front bipolar membrane 10 of the processing unit 18 closest to the anode chamber 6 is separated from the anode chamber 6, and the rear bipolar membrane 15 of the processing unit 18 closest to the cathode chamber 7 is separated from the cathode chamber 7.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, at least one treatment unit 18 is provided and arranged adjacently in sequence in the direction from the anode chamber 6 to the cathode chamber 7. In two adjacent treatment units 18, the rear bipolar membrane 15 of the preceding treatment unit 18 serves as the front bipolar membrane 10 of the succeeding treatment unit 18. In this embodiment, the hydroxide ions generated on one side of the rear bipolar membrane 15 of the preceding treatment unit 18 are used to combine with the cations in the desalination chamber 4 to generate a base, and the hydrogen ions generated on the side of the front bipolar membrane 10 of the succeeding treatment unit 18 are used to maintain the solution concentration in the feed chamber 1 after the migration of the ammonium ions.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the salt solution is configured based on the type of target ammonium salt to be generated. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the target ammonium salt is ammonium nitrate, and the salt solution is configured as a nitrate salt solution. The acid generated in the acid generating chamber 3 is nitric acid, and the base generated in the base generating chamber 3 is a base corresponding to the cation in the salt solution.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ammonia producing chamber 2 is provided with a first connecting pipe 19 for outputting ammonia water to the first chamber 8, the acid producing chamber 3 is provided with a second connecting pipe 20 for outputting acid liquid to the second chamber 9, and the feed chamber 1 is provided with a third connecting pipe 21 for receiving external wastewater input, and pumps are provided on the first connecting pipe 19, the second connecting pipe 20 and the third connecting pipe 21.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the pumps provided on the first connecting pipe 19, the second connecting pipe 20 and the third connecting pipe 21 are peristaltic pumps 17. In this embodiment, the chamber of the bipolar membrane electrodialysis system is connected to the membrane contactor through the peristaltic pump 17, and the NH4 in the feed liquid is + The OH produced by electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane 12 enters the ammonia production chamber 2 through the front cation exchange membrane 11. -1The resulting NH3·H2O is then transferred to the first chamber 8 of the membrane contactor. Ammonia then passes through the air-permeable, hydrophobic membrane 16 and enters the second chamber 9. The solution in the acid-generating chamber 3 enters the second membrane contact chamber 9, where it captures the diffused ammonia, achieving ammonia enrichment. This continuous operation simplifies the system's operational flow and facilitates automated control. It also prevents ammonia from escaping, ensuring the system's deammonification efficiency and preventing excessive ammonia concentration in the ammonia-generating chamber, which could lead to reverse diffusion.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, the current density input to the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device is 80A / ㎡ to 200A / ㎡.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the breathable and hydrophobic membrane 16 is a high-porosity breathable and hydrophobic membrane. It has high selectivity for ammonia and can promptly transfer ammonia gas generated by the ammonia solution enriched in the first chamber 8 to the second chamber 9, thereby improving the output efficiency of ammonium salts. It also has high anti-pollution performance and a long service life.

[0058] In the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device of the present invention, the working process is as follows: after the system is powered on, the front bipolar membrane (BPM) 10, the middle bipolar membrane (BPM) 12 and the rear bipolar membrane (BPM) 15 electrolyze water to generate OH on the side close to the anode chamber 6. -1 , H is generated on the cathode side 7 + At the same time, NH4 in the wastewater + The generated OH is exchanged through the front cation exchange membrane (CEM) 11 -1 The combined NH3·H2O is transferred to the membrane contactor by the peristaltic pump 17 to achieve wastewater deammonification. In the desalination chamber 4, the corresponding electrolyte solution (NaNO3) is selectively added according to the type of target ammonia salt (taking NH4NO3 as an example), NO3 -1 The generated H + The HNO3 generated by the combination is transferred to the membrane contactor through the peristaltic pump 17 to strip the NH3·H2O and Na + OH generated by the rear cation exchange membrane (AEM) 14 and the rear bipolar membrane (BPM) 15 at the other end -1 Combined with the production of NaOH, this achieves simultaneous acid and alkali production. Membrane contactor (MC): The two chambers of the membrane contactor are separated by a breathable, hydrophobic membrane 16. One side receives NH3·H2O transferred from ammonia production chamber 2, while the other side receives HNO3 transferred from acid production chamber 3. Due to the volatility of ammonia and the differential transport trend of ammonia vapor pressure across the membrane, ammonia is transported from one side of the membrane to the HNO3 side through the breathable, hydrophobic membrane 16, where it is further enriched to form NH4NO3. Other non-volatile substances cannot pass through the membrane, thus realizing the resource recovery process of ammonia in the wastewater.

[0059] The present invention also discloses a method for treating an ammonia nitrogen wastewater device capable of generating a target ammonium salt, which uses the ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment device capable of generating a target ammonium salt disclosed in the above embodiment. The method comprises the following steps:

[0060] Connect the anode chamber 6 and cathode chamber 7 to the positive and negative poles of a power supply respectively to generate a DC electric field;

[0061] The ammonia nitrogen wastewater to be treated is transported to the feed chamber 1 of the treatment unit, and the corresponding salt solution is selected according to the target ammonium salt and input into the desalination chamber 4, so that the ammonium ions contained in the ammonia nitrogen wastewater in the feed chamber 1 enter the ammonia production chamber 2 through the front cation exchange membrane 11 under the action of the electric field, and combine with the hydroxide ions generated by the electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane 12 in the ammonia production chamber 2 to form an ammonia solution, while the acid ions contained in the desalination chamber 4 enter the acid production chamber 3 through the anion exchange membrane 13, and combine with the hydrogen ions generated by the electrolysis of water by the middle bipolar membrane 12 in the acid production chamber 3 to form an acid solution, and the cations in the salt solution enter the alkali production chamber 5 through the rear cation exchange membrane 14, and combine with the hydroxide ions generated by the electrolysis of water by the rear bipolar membrane 15 in the alkali production chamber 5 to form a base;

[0062] The ammonia solution generated in the ammonia production chamber 2 and the acid solution generated in the acid production chamber 3 are respectively input into the first chamber 8 and the second chamber 9 of the membrane contactor, so that the ammonia in the ammonia solution in the first chamber 8 enters the second chamber 9 through the breathable and hydrophobic membrane 16, and the acid solution in the second chamber 9 captures the entering ammonia to enrich and form the target ammonium salt.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the target ammonium salt is ammonium nitrate, the salt solution is set to be a nitrate salt solution, and the acid generated by the acid generating chamber is nitric acid.
