Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrocatalytic wastewater treatment, and particularly to an electrocatalytic wastewater treatment method coupling self-supplying oxygen in-situ production of H2O2-FeOCl dual cathodes. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a zero-emission and highly efficient chemical oxidant, which is widely used in the field of industrial water treatment. Currently, more than 95% of commercial H2O2 is industrially produced by the anthraquinone process. Although the anthraquinone process has mature technology and perfect infrastructure, it still has significant disadvantages, such as high operating costs, dangerous explosion problems, and transportation limitations. In recent years, the production of H2O2 through a two-electron redox reaction [ORR, O2 + 2H + + 2e - → H2O2] has been proven to be a cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical methods, avoiding the need for transportation, storage, and handling of concentrated H2O2.

[0003] The in-situ electrochemical production of H2O2 depends on effective oxygen supply. In an in-situ H2O2 electrochemical system, due to the difference in the number of electron transfers between the anode (four-electron OER process) and the cathode (two-electron ORR process), the oxygen consumed for the production of H2O2 at the cathode is twice that of traditional methods. Although injecting oxygen into water is feasible, this process requires additional installation work of oxygen supply equipment and energy consumption. In addition, in the two-electron ORR process, the rapid electro-wetting induced by high current will destroy the initial gas capture channels of the electrode, resulting in O2 starvation at the electroactive interface, thereby reducing the reaction efficiency of in-situ electrochemical production of H2O2.

[0004] How to apply the in-situ electrochemically generated H2O2 to the field of industrial water treatment involves the electrochemical advanced oxidation process (AO). Those technologies based on the Fenton reaction chemistry, such as electro-Fenton (EF), have been proven to be the most robust technologies. For example, a carbon-based self-breathing cathode for in-situ production of hydrogen peroxide and degradation of organic matter and its preparation method disclosed in Patent CN117721490A. The EF reaction lies in the generation of strongly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH) through the Fenton reaction between hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated at the cathode and externally added Fe 2+ catalyst. However, conventional homogeneous EF methods have disadvantages such as a narrow working pH window (2.8 - 3.5) and the formation of iron sludge. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention is to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art, and provides an electrocatalytic wastewater treatment method coupling self-supplied oxygen in-situ production of H2O2 and FeOCl double cathodes. Oxygen is produced by the first anode MMO, and then the crack gas diffusion electrode is used as the first cathode to produce H2O2, thereby solving the problem of oxygen supply; the FeOCl / GF composite electrode is connected in series, and electro-Fenton is used to efficiently treat wastewater without the need to cooperate with other auxiliary devices. The products are green and environmentally friendly and have no secondary pollution. This system can achieve the efficient degradation of antibiotics.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An electrocatalytic wastewater treatment method coupling self-supplied oxygen in-situ production of H2O2 and FeOCl double cathodes, the steps include: electrolyzing wastewater through a double-cathode electrocatalytic electrolytic cell; the double-cathode electrocatalytic electrolytic cell includes a first cathode, a first anode, a second cathode, and a second anode arranged alternately; The first cathode is a crack gas diffusion electrode, including a conductive matrix and a carbon black-PTFE catalyst coated on the conductive matrix; The first anode is an MMO mixed metal electrode or a ruthenium-iridium electrode; The second cathode includes a conductive matrix and an FeOCl catalyst coated on the conductive matrix; The second anode is a diamond electrode.

[0007] The main reaction formulas in the wastewater degradation process of the present invention are as follows: Near the first cathode: Cathode: O2 + 2H + + 2e - → H2O2 (1); Near the first anode: Anode: 2H2O - 4e - → O2 + H + (2); Near the second anode: Cathode: Fe(III) + ·OH → Fe(IV) + OH - (3); Fe(IV) + ·OH → Fe(V) + OH - (4); Near the second cathode: Anode: Fe 2+ + H2O2 → [Fe(OH)2] 2+ → ·OH + OH - + Fe 3+ (5); Organic pollutants + ·OH → Degradation products (6); Fe 3+ + e - → Fe 2+ (7).

[0008] The present invention produces oxygen through the first anode MMO, and then uses the crack gas diffusion electrode as the first cathode to produce H2O2; the O2 generated by the anodic oxygen evolution (OER) reaction of electrochemically in-situ producing H2O2 is used to supply oxygen to the first cathode to realize in-situ self-oxygen supply for producing hydrogen peroxide. In this process, no additional oxygen supply is required, reducing the work and energy consumption. At the same time, the present invention uses the crack gas diffusion electrode to overcome the electrowetting effect during long-term electrolysis under harsh industrial-related conditions. Even under harsh electrolysis conditions, due to the weakening of the local electric field and liquid infiltration capillary force caused by spatial discontinuity, these micron-scale film defects can counterintuitively maintain strong superhydrophobicity, enabling O2 to freely and rapidly diffuse in these channels.

[0009] The second cathode of the present invention uses FeOCl as a catalyst. Iron oxychloride (FeOCl) is a metal chloride with a two-dimensional layered structure, having high electron mobility and electron delocalization properties. It can not only efficiently activate the production of ·OH, but also electrochemically reduce Fe 3+ to generate Fe 2+ , and also has high pH adaptability.

[0010] Therefore, the present invention constructs a self-oxygen supply in-situ hydrogen peroxide production - FeOCl dual cathode system: the first cathode uses a carbon black (CB)-PTFE / GF crack gas diffusion electrode, and the gas diffusion layer of this electrode can efficiently utilize oxygen, thereby realizing a two-electron reaction and in-situ high-efficiency production of H2O2. The second cathode uses a FeOCl / GF composite electrode, which can not only efficiently activate the production of ·OH, but also electrochemically reduce Fe 3+ to avoid the generation of iron sludge. The dual cathode system of the present invention uses electro-Fenton to efficiently treat wastewater, without the need to cooperate with other auxiliary devices. The products are green and environmentally friendly without secondary pollution, and can achieve high-efficiency degradation of antibiotics.

[0011] Preferably, the conductive substrate in the first cathode and the second cathode is one of carbon paper, carbon fiber paper, carbon cloth, carbon fiber cloth, graphite felt, nickel foam, copper foam, titanium plate, ruthenium-iridium electrode plate, and conductive glass.

[0012] Preferably, in the carbon black-PTFE catalyst, the mass ratio of carbon black to PTFE is 5:2 to 4.

[0013] Preferably, the preparation method of the first cathode is as follows: Mix carbon black with absolute ethanol, and perform ultrasonic oscillation. Then add a PTFE suspension and stir at 60 - 80 °C until it becomes a paste to obtain a coating. Coat the coating on a conductive substrate, and then calcine it at 330 - 400 °C for 150 - 200 min to obtain a cracked gas diffusion electrode. In the present invention, the CB-PTFE active layer is first coated on the surface of the conductive substrate and then annealed, so that a discontinuous film with dense and penetrating microcracks can be obtained, thereby obtaining a cracked gas diffusion electrode. This cracked gas diffusion electrode can overcome the electro-wetting effect during long-term electrolysis under harsh industrial-related conditions.

[0014] Preferably, in the first cathode, the coating amount of the carbon black-PTFE catalyst is 5 - 40 mg / cm 2 .

[0015] Preferably, in the second cathode, the coating amount of the FeOCl catalyst is 5 - 40 mg / cm 2 .

[0016] Preferably, the first cathode and the second cathode have the same area, the first anode and the second anode have the same area, and the area ratio of the cathode to the anode is 1 - 20:1.

[0017] Preferably, the wastewater is antibiotic wastewater.

[0018] Preferably, the current density during electrolytic treatment is 5 - 20 mA / cm 2 .

[0019] Preferably, during electrolytic treatment, the wastewater in the dual-cathode electrocatalytic electrolysis cell undergoes internal circulation. The internal circulation of the device during the reaction can enhance the effective contact time and mass transfer effect between the electrode / electrolyte interface, thereby improving the wastewater degradation effect.

[0020] Therefore, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) All reaction processes are completed in a single reaction device without the need for other auxiliary equipment, and the operation and operation costs are low; (2) The first cathode uses a CB-PTFE / GF cracked gas diffusion electrode, and the gas diffusion layer of this electrode can efficiently utilize oxygen, thereby realizing a two-electron reaction and in-situ high-efficiency production of H2O2; (3) The second cathode uses a FeOCl / GF composite electrode, which can not only efficiently activate and produce ·OH, but also electro-reduce Fe 3+ to avoid the generation of iron sludge and simultaneously realize the recycling of iron ions; (4) The degradation efficiency is high, the removal rate in antibiotic wastewater can reach more than 80%, the reaction product is water, and there are no harmful by-products, which conforms to the clean energy theory; (5) Treating wastewater by the method of the present invention not only achieves efficient zero discharge, but also greatly reduces the corresponding traditional treatment costs.

[0069] The double - cathode electrocatalytic electrolytic cell adopts a columnar electrolytic cell, including a first cathode, a first anode, a second cathode, and a second anode arranged alternately; The first cathode is a CB - PTFE / GF crack gas diffusion electrode, including a conductive matrix graphite felt (GF) and a carbon black - PTFE catalyst coated on the conductive matrix; the preparation method is: mixing carbon black with absolute ethanol, ultrasonic oscillation, then adding a PTFE suspension (solid content 5%), stirring at 70 °C until it becomes a paste to obtain a coating, and the mass ratio of carbon black to PTFE is 5:3; coating the coating on the graphite felt, and then calcining at 350 °C for 180 min to obtain the CB - PTFE / GF crack gas diffusion electrode; the loading amount of carbon black in the first cathode is 29.1 mg / cm 2 ; The first anode is an MMO mixed - metal electrode; The second cathode is a FeOCl / GF composite electrode, including a conductive matrix graphite felt (GF) and a FeOCl catalyst coated on the conductive matrix; the loading amount of the FeOCl catalyst in the second cathode is 4.2 mg / cm 2 , and the preparation method is the same as that in Example 1; The second anode is a diamond (BDD) electrode; The areas of the first cathode and the second cathode are both 9.62 cm 2 , and the areas of the second anode and the second anode are both 2 cm 2 .

[0070] Circulate the mixed solution at a constant flow rate of 400 mL / min, under the condition of a current density of 10 mA·cm -2 , without passing oxygen in the double - cathode electrocatalytic electrolytic cell, measure the antibiotic content and iron leaching amount of the solution in the double - cathode electrocatalytic electrolytic cell every ten minutes, and the test results are as shown in Figure 7 .

[0071] From Figures 1 to 7It can be seen from the test results that by adopting the dual-cathode system in the present invention, the efficient degradation of three types of antibiotics can be achieved, and the removal rate of the three types of antibiotic wastewater can reach more than 80%. In the present invention, oxygen is produced by the first anode MMO, and then the crack gas diffusion electrode is used as the first cathode to produce H2O2, thereby solving the problem of oxygen supply; the FeOCl / GF composite electrode is connected in series, and electro-Fenton is used to efficiently treat wastewater. All reaction processes are completed in a single reaction device without the need to cooperate with other auxiliary devices, and the operation and operation costs are low; moreover, the reaction product is water, without harmful by-products, the product is green and environmentally friendly and has no secondary pollution, which conforms to the theory of clean energy. In addition, the second cathode of the present invention adopts the FeOCl / GF composite electrode, which can not only efficiently activate and produce ·OH, but also electro-reduce Fe 3+ to avoid the generation of iron sludge and realize the recycling of iron ions at the same time, and it also has a high pH adaptability.
