[0003] In the prior art, CN 105645559B discloses a device and a treatment process for treating industrial wastewater by using an ozone catalytic oxidation method. A first gas-liquid premixing section, an oxidation reaction section, a second gas-liquid premixing section, and a catalytic oxidation reaction section are sequentially arranged from the water inlet end to the water outlet end of the pipeline reactor; the oxidation reaction section is provided with a subsection filled inert material, and the catalytic oxidation reaction section is provided with a subsection filled ozone catalytic oxidation catalyst; ozone aeration devices are arranged at the inert material, the ozone catalytic oxidation catalyst, and the water inlet end of the first gas-liquid premixing section; and the ozone aeration devices are connected to an ozone generator. The patent uses a pipeline reactor, uses a static mixer and an ultrasonic microwave combined mixing device to fully mix ozone and wastewater, enhances the gas-liquid two-phase mass transfer effect, and improves the catalytic reaction rate.
[0004] CN110563118 A discloses a high-efficiency and stable ozone catalytic oxidation reaction device and a sewage treatment method thereof, which comprises an ozone generator, a reactor, a circulating water pump, and a tail gas destroyer. The inside of the reactor is sequentially provided, from top to bottom, with a fixed bed catalyst layer, a first aeration disc, a first water distribution device, a fluidized bed catalyst layer, a second aeration disc, and a second water distribution device. The top of the reactor is connected to the tail gas destroyer through a tail gas discharge pipe, and the upper part of the reactor is provided with a drainage pipe and a circulating water pipe.

The ozone generator is connected to the first aeration disc through a first ozone exhaust pipe and is connected to the second aeration disc through a second ozone exhaust pipe.
[0005] However, the above technology has many deficiencies in industrial applications: first, due to the strong selectivity of ozone and ammonia nitrogen, nitrous acid and organic matter, the difference in reaction rate, and the slow mass transfer rate of ozone, sewage and catalyst in the "three-phase" system, the ozone content in the tail gas is high, the ozone utilization rate is low, and the COD removal efficiency is low, thereby greatly increasing the ozone dosage and operation cost; second, the homogeneous catalysis has the problems of catalyst recovery difficulty and secondary pollution of water body, and the micron-sized solid catalyst of heterogeneous catalyst can easily cause system fluctuation and blockage; third, although the spherical particle catalyst or strip-shaped columnar catalyst is the most commonly used packed catalyst, due to the problems of normal temperature and pressure reaction conditions, uneven catalyst accumulation, low catalyst utilization rate, high energy consumption and low cost; fourth, in the process of catalytic oxidation treatment of high-concentration salt wastewater, the high-concentration salt reaction environment causes catalyst agglomeration, blockage and deactivation, and the catalyst cannot be replaced in time, which causes rapid decay of COD removal efficiency of wastewater and increase of cost.
