Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of soil remediation, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional electrokinetic chromium-contaminated soil remediation system based on solar energy storage. Background Art

[0002] As an important environmental risk source, the over-standard rate of heavy metal chromium is 1.1% (seventh among heavy metals). In soil, it mainly exists in the forms of trivalent chromium (Cr(Ⅲ)) and hexavalent chromium Cr(Ⅵ). Cr(Ⅲ) has relatively low toxicity, but the high toxicity and strong mobility of Cr(Ⅵ) pose a significant threat to human health and safety.

[0003] Regarding the currently common chromium-contaminated soil remediation technologies, in the phytoremediation system, there are less than 10 globally recognized chromium hyperaccumulator plants, and the annual average remediation efficiency is generally lower than 0.1 mg / kg, which is only applicable to low-concentration contaminated sites. Although the chemical leaching technology has a short treatment cycle, the use of strong acids / chelating agents not only destroys the soil aggregate structure but may also activate passivated heavy metals. Improper treatment of the leaching waste liquid will also form secondary pollution. In the coexistence system of complex valence chromium (Cr(Ⅲ) / Cr(Ⅵ)), the reduction / adsorption efficiency of microbial remediation drops sharply, and the remediation effect is significantly affected by external conditions such as temperature and humidity. Although the chemical reduction method can quickly convert Cr(Ⅵ) through iron-based materials, it is prone to redox potential reversal, resulting in the reactivation of solidified chromium.

[0004] In comparison, the electrokinetic method can directly remove chromium from the soil and is a most promising in-situ remediation technology. However, during the electrokinetic remediation of chromium-contaminated soil, OH - is electrolyzed at the cathode, and H + is electrolyzed at the anode. Under the action of electroosmosis, OH - and Cr(Ⅵ) migrate to the anode, and H + , Cr(Ⅲ) and other metal cations migrate to the cathode. OH - precipitates and accumulates with Cr(Ⅲ) and other metal cations in the middle of the soil chamber, that is, the pH focusing phenomenon occurs, the conductivity decreases, resulting in electroosmotic flow interruption, the soil temperature rises, forming a vicious cycle, bringing potential safety hazards, and the removal effect is severely inhibited.

[0005] In addition, the electrokinetic method consumes a relatively high amount of energy and has a large carbon footprint, and it is also difficult to meet the requirements of low-carbon green remediation and continuous remediation. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In one embodiment, the repair area is equally spaced to divide into a plurality of the soil chambers, and each of the soil chambers is provided with a voltmeter to measure the voltage of each of the soil chambers.

[0016] In one embodiment, electrolyte outlets are provided on the outer surfaces of both the anode electrolysis chamber and the cathode electrolysis chamber, and the electrolyte outlets are connected to an electrolyte storage tank through a peristaltic pump.
