Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a halogenated by-product reduction control system and a halogenated by-product reduction control method. Background Art

[0002] As an advanced water treatment technology for removing organic pollutants from water, anodic oxidation technology relies on the direct electron transfer process between pollutants and electrodes and the indirect oxidation process mediated by active species generated on the electrode surface (such as hydroxyl radicals generated by electrolysis of water and active chlorine generated by electrolysis of chlorine) to achieve effective degradation of pollutants. However, since actual sewage is usually a complex system containing halogen ions, mainly chloride ions, the reaction process is often accompanied by the generation of toxic halogenated byproducts. Although chloride ions can promote the removal of organic pollutants by converting into active chlorine on the anode surface, this process may also generate chlorinated organic pollutants that are more toxic than the parent compound; and active chlorine can be further oxidized on the anode surface and converted into toxic inorganic chlorinated byproducts (mainly chlorate and perchlorate). Theoretically, lowering the operating potential of the flow-through anode can effectively reduce the generation of chlorinated by-products. Even when the anode potential is controlled below the chlorine evolution potential, it can shield chloride ions from participating in the anode oxidation reaction, thereby completely avoiding the generation of chlorinated by-products (such as the patent document with application number CN202410682951.5 discloses an electrochemical sewage treatment device and method).

[0003] However, lowering the operating potential of the flow-through anode will inevitably reduce the amount of hydroxyl radicals generated at the flow-through anode, greatly reducing the wastewater treatment efficiency of the flow-through anode oxidation system, especially for some high ionization potential pollutants (such as atrazine, phenylacetic acid, and nitrobenzene). It is also difficult to effectively improve the treatment effect of such polluted water bodies. Summary of the invention

[0086] The present embodiment aims to test the hydroxyl radical generation effect of an electrochemical system for reducing and controlling the generation of halogenated byproducts under low potential conditions.

[0087] Specifically, the solution electrolyte is selected from 100 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution + 20 μM benzoic acid solution.

[0088] Specifically, the through cathode plate 1 uses B / N co-doped high-purity carbon felt with a pore size of 50 μm, and the through anode plate 2 uses a SnO2-Sb-Ti porous electrode with a pore size of 10 μm.

[0089] Specifically, the plate spacing between the penetrating anode plate 2 and the penetrating cathode plate 1 is 1 cm, and the water flow rate is set to 320 L / m 2 / min, the current density was set to 10mA / cm 2 The hydroxyl radical concentration of the samples was detected and analyzed at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after electrolysis, and the experiment was repeated many times to reduce the influence of errors.

[0090] Specifically, after the system ran for 60 min, the concentration of hydroxyl radicals stabilized at around 250 μM.

[0091] Fifth embodiment:

[0092] This embodiment uses an electrochemical device using a single flow-through anodic oxidation technology for comparison with the second embodiment.

[0093] Specifically, simulated sewage was used as the treatment object, the dosage of atrazine was set to 10 μmol / L, the solution electrolyte was selected as a NaCl solution with a concentration of 5 mM, a penetrating cathode plate 1 with a porous structure, a material of stainless steel, and a pore size of 50 μm was used, and the penetrating anode plate 2 used a SnO2-Sb-Ti porous electrode with a pore size of 10 μm consistent with the second embodiment.

[0094] Specifically, the plate spacing between the penetrating anode plate 2 and the penetrating cathode plate 1 is 1 cm, and the water flow rate is set to 320 L / m 2 / min, the current density was set to 10mA / cm 2 The atrazine concentration of the samples was detected and analyzed at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after electrolysis, and the experiment was repeated many times to reduce the influence of errors.

[0095] Specifically, after the system had been running for 60 min, the final removal rate of atrazine was stabilized at about 15%.

[0096] From the above, it can be seen that the pollutant removal rate of the fifth embodiment is much lower than that of the second embodiment. This is because the hydroxyl radical production of the fifth embodiment is insufficient under low potential conditions, and it can only rely on the direct electron transfer process DET of the anode to react with the pollutants, which not only has low degradation efficiency but also cannot completely oxidize pollutants with high ionization potential IP. The second embodiment not only utilizes the direct electron transfer process DET of the anode, but also utilizes the through-flow cathode electro-Fenton reaction process driven by endogenous molecular oxygen, which successfully makes up for the shortcoming of insufficient free radical generation due to the lower potential of the penetrating anode in comparative example 1, so that the entire system can achieve a higher free radical production by operating at a low potential, which improves the pollutant degradation efficiency and can effectively remove pollutants with high ionization potential IP.

[0097] Sixth embodiment:

[0098] The electrochemical device of this embodiment using the single flow-through anodic oxidation technology is compared with the fourth embodiment.

[0099] Specifically, the solution electrolyte is selected from 100 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution + 20 μM benzoic acid solution.

[0100] Specifically, the sixth embodiment adopts a porous structure, stainless steel, and a through cathode plate 1 with a pore size of 50 μm, and the through anode plate 2 adopts a SnO2-Sb-Ti porous electrode with a pore size of 10 μm consistent with the fourth embodiment.

[0101] Specifically, the plate spacing between the penetrating anode plate 2 and the penetrating cathode plate 1 is 1 cm, and the water flow rate is set to 320 L / m 2 / min, the current density was set to 10mA / cm 2 The hydroxyl radical concentration of the samples was detected and analyzed at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after electrolysis, and the experiment was repeated many times to reduce the influence of errors.

[0102] Specifically, after the system ran for 60 min, the concentration of hydroxyl radicals stabilized at around 25 μM.

[0103] Seventh embodiment:

[0104] The electrochemical device of this embodiment using the single flow-through anodic oxidation technology is compared with the fourth embodiment.

[0105] Specifically, the solution electrolyte is selected from 100 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution + 20 μM benzoic acid solution.

[0106] Specifically, a porous structure, stainless steel, and 50 μm pore size penetrating cathode plate 1 is used, and a penetrating anode plate 2 is a SnO2-Sb-Ti porous electrode with a pore size of 10 μm consistent with the fourth embodiment.

[0107] Specifically, the plate spacing between the penetrating anode plate 2 and the penetrating cathode plate 1 is 1 cm, and the water flow rate is set to 320 L / m 2 / min, the current density was set to 30mA / cm 2 The hydroxyl radical concentration of the samples was detected and analyzed at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after electrolysis, and the experiment was repeated many times to reduce the influence of errors.

[0108] Specifically, after the system ran for 60 min, the concentration of hydroxyl radicals stabilized at around 250 μM.

[0109] It can be seen that the hydroxyl radical production of the sixth embodiment is much lower than that of the fourth embodiment. This is because under low potential drive, the sixth embodiment relies solely on penetrating the anode to electrolyze water, resulting in insufficient hydroxyl radical production, while the fourth embodiment utilizes the endogenous oxygen generated by penetrating the anode to electrolyze water and is transmitted to the penetrating cathode with the water flow, and is converted into hydroxyl radicals through the electro-Fenton reaction process, so that the entire system can be operated at a low potential to achieve a higher free radical production. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, to achieve the same amount of hydroxyl radical production as the fourth embodiment, the potential needs to be increased by at least three times. In other words, the fourth embodiment can achieve a large amount of hydroxyl radical production at a low potential, thereby ensuring the removal of pollutants and reducing power consumption.

[0110] Eighth embodiment:

[0111] This embodiment uses an electrochemical device using a single flow-through anodic oxidation technology for comparison with the second embodiment.

[0112] Specifically, simulated sewage was used as the treatment object, the dosage of atrazine was set to 10 μmol / L, and the solution electrolyte was a NaCl solution with a concentration of 5 mM.

[0113] Specifically, a porous structure, stainless steel, and 50 μm pore size penetrating cathode plate 1 is used, and a penetrating anode plate 2 is a SnO2-Sb-Ti porous electrode with a pore size of 10 μm, which is consistent with the pore size in the second embodiment.

[0114] Specifically, the plate spacing between the penetrating anode plate 2 and the penetrating cathode plate 1 is 1 cm, and the water flow rate is set to 320 L / m 2 / min, the current density was set to 10mA / cm 2 , sampling was performed to detect and analyze the concentrations of various halogenated disinfection by-products in the samples at 60 minutes of electrolysis, and the experiment was repeated several times to reduce the impact of errors.

[0115] Specifically, after the system had been running for 60 min, the concentrations of various halogenated disinfection by-products were relatively high.

[0116] It can be seen that the concentrations of various halogenated disinfection by-products in this embodiment are significantly higher than those in the second embodiment. This is because although the low potential applied in this embodiment inhibits the process of halogen ions at the anode to active halogen and further conversion of active halogen, effectively reducing the generation of halogenated by-products, compared with this embodiment, the second embodiment also effectively utilizes the electrochemical cathode reduction dehalogenation reaction, and the halogenated by-products generated by penetrating the anode are reduced at the penetrating cathode, thereby strengthening the control of the reduction of halogenated disinfection by-products.

[0117] like Fig. 9 As shown, a reduction control method is also provided, which is applied to the reduction control system of the halogenated byproducts in the above scheme, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0118] S1: introducing the wastewater to be treated into the closed electrochemical reaction cell 13;

[0119] S2: Close the connection switch 18 located on the first terminal 9 and the second terminal 8, and connect the penetrating cathode plate 1 and the penetrating anode plate 2 to the negative electrode and the positive electrode of the DC regulated power supply 3 respectively;

[0120] S3: Turn on the power of the lifting pump 4 to pass the water in the water inlet pool 5 into the closed electrochemical reaction pool 13, and at the same time, the second pipe 12 passes the treated water into the water outlet pool 6;

[0121] S4: After a certain reaction time, the power is cut off to the cathode plate 1 and the anode plate 2.

[0122] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can replace or change the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
