Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to an electrocatalytic electrode for ammonia nitrogen wastewater, its preparation method, electrode system, and its usage. Background Technology

[0002] The treatment of high-salinity, high-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater is a challenging problem in wastewater treatment. Both its high salinity and high ammonia nitrogen concentration are biotoxic, rendering biological methods ineffective. The effectiveness of ammonia stripping is influenced by the ammonia nitrogen concentration and pH of the wastewater; it is most effective when the ammonia nitrogen concentration is greater than 3000 mg / L and the pH is greater than 10. However, ammonia stripping generates stripping exhaust gas that requires treatment; pH adjustment and stripping power costs are not low; and ammonia stripping is ineffective at removing ammonia nitrogen concentrations below 1000 mg / L, failing to meet effluent standards. High salinity implies high conductivity, which reduces the heat generation side effects of electrocatalysis, thereby lowering its operating costs. Furthermore, electrocatalysis can adapt to a wide range of pollutant concentrations, with effluent ammonia nitrogen levels approaching 0 mg / L, and no upper limit on treatable ammonia nitrogen concentrations.

[0003] However, electrocatalytic treatment of ammonia nitrogen wastewater also has significant drawbacks. The products of electrocatalytic oxidation of ammonia nitrogen include nitrogen gas, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen. Ideally, the nitrogen gas would be converted into non-toxic nitrogen gas and released into the atmosphere. However, excessive oxidation leads to ammonia nitrogen being oxidized into nitrite nitrogen and then into nitrate nitrogen upon contact with air, ultimately resulting in high-salt, high-nitrate nitrogen wastewater. Compared to high-salt, high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater, the electrocatalytic effect on high-salt, high-nitrate nitrogen wastewater is poor, requiring more power consumption and longer operating time per unit of nitrate nitrogen removal. Therefore, product selectivity is crucial in the electrocatalytic treatment of ammonia nitrogen wastewater. Furthermore, indirect oxidation by ClO· is the main mechanism for ammonia nitrogen oxidation removal, but excessive ClO· can also lead to over-oxidation, resulting in higher selectivity for nitrate nitrogen. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Furthermore, the high-temperature carbonization is carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 700°C for 5 hours.

[0023] An electrode system includes a reactor, an anode module, a cathode module, an anode circulation module, a cathode circulation module, and a control module;

[0024] The anode module and cathode module are located inside the reactor; the anode module includes ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anodes among the multiple electrodes; the multiple ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anodes are connected by an anode Ti2 rod;

[0025] The cathode module includes a plurality of nitrate nitrogen reduction cathodes among the electrodes; the plurality of nitrate nitrogen reduction cathodes are connected by a cathode Ti2 rod;

[0026] The anode circulation module comprises multiple modules, each connected to a specific ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode. Each module includes an anode inlet pipe, an anode circulation pump, an anode outlet pipe, and an anode solenoid valve. The anode inlet pipe is connected to the anode circulation pump, with its other end extending upwards and entering the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode from the top. The anode circulation pump is connected to the anode inlet pipe. One end of the anode outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode, and the other end is located inside the reactor. The anode solenoid valve is connected to the anode outlet pipe.

[0027] The cathode circulation module comprises multiple units, each connected to a nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode. Each unit includes a cathode inlet pipe, a cathode circulation pump, a cathode outlet pipe, and a cathode solenoid valve.

[0029] The ultraviolet lamps are fixedly mounted on the top surface of each ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode, and are electrically connected to the PLC control system.

[0030] The method of using the electrode system includes the following steps:

[0031] S1 Start-up: Wastewater is introduced into the reactor and the bottom mixer is turned on to ensure that the wastewater is in full contact with the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode of the anode module and the nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode of the cathode module.

[0032] S2 Electrocatalysis: When the DC regulated power supply is turned on, the electrocatalytic state is entered. The catalytic oxidation coating on the outside of the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and the cathode reduction coating on the outside of the nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode come into contact with the ammonia nitrogen wastewater, thereby achieving nitrogen removal from the wastewater.

[0033] S3 Capture: When the ClO· concentration online monitoring probe detects that the ClO· concentration in the wastewater exceeds the upper limit, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control system. The PLC control system shuts off the DC regulated power supply and starts the circulating water pumps of the anode and cathode circulation modules, allowing wastewater to flow into the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode. When the water is full, the anode and cathode solenoid valves are activated, causing the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode to enter a circulation state with water entering from the top and exiting from the bottom. At the same time, the flow difference between the circulating water pump and the outlet valve is controlled to ensure that each electrode is in a full water state and enters the ClO· capture state. In the ClO· capture state, the anode ClO· capture coating on the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and the cathode ClO· capture coating on the nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode come into contact with the wastewater, capturing ClO·, reducing the ClO· concentration in the wastewater, and preventing excessive oxidation of ammonia nitrogen to generate nitrate nitrogen.

[0034] S4 Reduction: When the ClO· concentration online monitoring probe detects that the ClO· concentration in the wastewater is below the lower limit, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control system, and the ClO· capture coating enters the reduction state. In the ClO· capture coating reduction state, the PLC control system shuts down the anode circulation pump and the cathode circulation pump, and closes the anode solenoid valve and the cathode solenoid valve after a delay, draining the wastewater in the electrode cylinder. After draining, the top ultraviolet lamp is turned on, allowing the anode ClO· capture coating and the cathode ClO· capture coating to fully contact the ultraviolet light, releasing ClO· and realizing the reduction of the ClO· capture coating. After 30 minutes, the ultraviolet lamp is turned off, the DC regulated power supply is started, and the system returns to the electrocatalytic state.

[0035] S5: This cycle repeats until the online ammonia nitrogen concentration monitoring probe on the cathode detects that the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the wastewater reaches the effluent standard, and transmits the signal to the PLC control system. The DC regulated power supply then shuts down, the bottom mixer closes, and the system enters a shutdown state. The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are:

[0036] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0037] 1. In the electrode of the present invention, the oxidation capacity of the anode is controlled by the selection of the catalytic oxidation coating material, preventing ammonia nitrogen from being converted into nitrate nitrogen due to anode peroxidation. The ClO. capture coating captures excess ClO., preventing ammonia nitrogen from being oxidized into nitrate nitrogen by excess ClO., thereby reducing the selectivity of nitrate nitrogen from the source. The cathode reduction coating reduces the small amount of nitrate nitrogen generated by peroxidation into nitrogen gas, thereby achieving complete removal of nitrogen from wastewater.

[0038] 2. This invention increases electron channels and functional groups by preparing porous biomass nano-carbon felt as a cathode material, and improves the conductivity of porous biomass nano-carbon felt through high-temperature carbonization, thereby enhancing the processing capacity of the cathode plate.

[0039] 3. In the electrode system of the present invention, multiple ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anodes and multiple nitrate nitrogen reduction cathodes are respectively composed of an anode module and a cathode module, which, together with a control module, a cathode circulation module, and an anode circulation module, perform electrocatalysis and ClO. capture, thereby achieving complete denitrification and significantly reducing the selectivity of nitrate nitrogen. At the same time, after ClO. capture, the ClO. capture coating can be reduced to prepare for the next electrocatalysis. The wastewater treatment effect is good, the cost is low, and it has good application prospects. Attached Figure Description

In the ClO· capture state, the anode ClO· capture coating 1013 on the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode 101 and the cathode ClO· capture coating 2023 on the nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode 201 come into contact with the wastewater. ClO· is captured by CeO2 on the anode ClO· capture coating 1013 and the cathode ClO· capture coating 2023, reducing the ClO· concentration in the wastewater and preventing excessive oxidation of ammonia nitrogen to generate nitrate nitrogen, thereby improving the selectivity of nitrogen gas, the electrocatalytic product of ammonia nitrogen wastewater.

S2 Electrocatalysis: When the DC regulated power supply is turned on, the electrocatalytic state is entered. The catalytic oxidation coating on the outside of the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and the cathode reduction coating on the outside of the nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode come into contact with the ammonia nitrogen wastewater, thereby achieving nitrogen removal from the wastewater. S3 Capture: When the ClO· concentration online monitoring probe detects that the ClO· concentration in the wastewater exceeds the upper limit, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control system. The PLC control system shuts off the DC regulated power supply and starts the circulating water pumps of the anode and cathode circulation modules, allowing wastewater to flow into the ammonia nitrogen catalytic oxidation anode and nitrate nitrogen reduction cathode.

S4 Reduction: When the ClO· concentration online monitoring probe detects that the ClO· concentration in the wastewater is lower than the lower limit, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control system, and the ClO· capture coating enters the reduction state; in the reduction state of the ClO· capture coating, the PLC control system shuts down the anode circulation pump and the cathode circulation pump, and closes the anode solenoid valve and the cathode solenoid valve after a delay, draining the wastewater in the electrode cylinder; After draining, the top UV lamp is turned on to allow the anode ClO· capture coating and the cathode ClO· capture coating to fully contact the UV light, releasing ClO· and realizing the reduction of the ClO· capture coating; after 30 minutes, the UV lamp is turned off, the DC regulated power supply is started, and the system returns to the electrocatalytic state; S5: This cycle repeats until the online ammonia nitrogen concentration monitoring probe on the cathode detects that the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the wastewater has reached the effluent standard, and transmits the signal to the PLC control system. The DC regulated power supply is then turned off, the bottom mixer is turned off, and the system enters the shutdown state.
