Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and relates to a sewage treatment device and a treatment method thereof, and particularly relates to a membrane electrode sewage treatment device with an in-situ cleaning function and a treatment method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of sewage treatment, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been widely used because it can effectively treat and purify wastewater. However, the problem of membrane fouling seriously restricts the further development and wide application of MBR technology. Membrane fouling not only reduces the membrane flux, but also increases the operating cost and shortens the service life of the membrane. To solve the problem of membrane fouling, researchers have proposed a variety of cleaning and regeneration technologies, including physical cleaning, chemical cleaning, and combined cleaning technologies.

[0003] Physical cleaning methods include backwashing, air-water scrubbing, and ultrasonic cleaning, etc., which remove pollutants on the membrane surface by applying physical forces. These methods can usually only remove reversible fouling, and have limited effects on irreversible fouling. Chemical cleaning dissolves and removes pollutants through chemical agents, but this method may damage the membrane material, and the use and treatment of chemical agents also increase the operating cost and environmental burden.

[0004] To further improve the cleaning efficiency and reduce the damage to the membrane material, an electro-membrane bioreactor (EMBR) combining electrochemical technology has been developed in recent years. The EMBR technology removes pollutants on the membrane by applying an electric field on the membrane surface and using redox substances generated by electrochemical reactions. This method can not only effectively reduce membrane fouling, but also reduce the frequency of chemical cleaning to a certain extent.

[0005] Currently, integrating the electrochemical cleaning technology and the membrane separation technology into one device to achieve online electro-cleaning of the membrane module is an important research direction. For example, CN108217917A discloses an electrochemical membrane bioreactor sewage processor, which realizes the combination of electrochemical and membrane separation technologies by setting electrodes and membrane modules in the treatment tank, effectively alleviating the problem of membrane fouling. However, this device may face problems such as precipitation particles clogging the membrane pores and changes in the pH value of the solution during the electrochemical operation in practical applications.

[0006] In addition, CN107459106A discloses an electrochemical-membrane separation water treatment device, which performs electrochemical treatment on wastewater by setting electrodes and membrane modules in the reaction tank. However, the precipitation particles generated during the electrochemical treatment are likely to deposit on the membrane surface, resulting in a decrease in membrane flux. At the same time, the pH value change during the electrochemical reaction process may also affect the existence form of ions in water, thereby affecting the water treatment effect.

[0007] However, although the EMBR technology has shown potential in suppressing membrane fouling, there are still some technical challenges at present. The coupling design of the electrode and the membrane module is complex, and it is difficult to uniformly control the distribution and intensity of the electric field, resulting in uneven cleaning effects. In addition, by-products may be generated during the electrochemical reaction process, posing potential risks to the stability of the system and environmental safety. Therefore, there is still room for optimization in existing EMBR systems in practical applications, and there is an urgent need for improvement and innovation to improve their cleaning efficiency and operational stability and reliability.
