Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment technology, specifically a method, apparatus and application for recovering bromide triions based on irradiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange. Background Technology

[0002] Electro-controlled ion exchange, as a novel ion recovery technology, has been widely used in the recovery of various anions and cations due to its selective separation and recovery of target ions. It is applied in the recovery of seawater, radioactive wastewater, and other raw material liquids. Driven by an external electric field, it achieves reversible ion insertion and release by applying oxidation or reduction potentials to an electroactive membrane. This technology produces no secondary pollution, the membrane material is regenerable, and it can selectively target ions. Therefore, it has become a key research focus in ion recovery in recent years.

[0003] However, in electro-controlled ion exchange technology, the electric field is the only driving force for ion and electron migration. The oxidation process of bromide ions to bromide triions and the migration process of bromide triions both require electrical energy. That is, the system not only needs to provide the driving force for ion migration, but also needs to provide additional electrical energy for the electrochemical oxidation process of ions. The overall energy consumption is higher, which limits its application range. Therefore, reducing the electrical energy consumption in the electro-controlled ion exchange process has become the focus of research. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem that in current electro-controlled ion exchange processes, where the electric field is the sole driving force for ion and electron migration, resulting in high energy consumption in the oxidation step and necessitating control of electrical energy consumption, this invention provides a method, apparatus, and application for recovering tribromide ions based on irradiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange.

[0005] This invention is achieved using the following techniques: This invention provides a method for recovering tribromide ions based on radiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange, comprising the following steps: a. Irradiation oxidation The bromine-containing stock solution was placed in an electro-controlled ion exchange device with a bromide ion concentration of 0.001–1 M and a volume of 10–30 mL. The electro-controlled ion exchange device was a single-chamber device. The bromine-containing stock solution was irradiated with gamma rays, which were produced by radioactive nuclides. 60 Provided by Co, with an irradiation dose of 3.0 kGy·h -1 The irradiation time is 5~30min, and the bromide ions in the bromine-containing stock solution are oxidized and react to form bromide triions.

[0006] Gamma rays can irradiate water molecules in a solution, causing the water molecules to decompose and generate highly reactive particles, namely hydroxyl radicals. The hydroxyl radicals act on other ions in the solution. By regulating the generation of highly reactive particles, bromide ions are oxidized to elemental bromide, which then combines with bromide ions to form bromide triions.

[0007] b. Migration and Recycling In the electro-controlled ion exchange device, the circuit is turned on and an oxidation potential is applied to the working electrode. The working electrode is loaded with a bromide triion selective adsorption membrane. The oxidation potential is 0~1.0V, which causes the membrane material to lose electrons. In order to maintain the electroneutrality of the membrane electrode, the oxidation potential drives the bromide triion to move directionally to the membrane and be adsorbed. The adsorption time is 1~6h, and bromide triion is selectively recovered.

[0008] Specifically, the working electrode includes a conductive substrate on which a bromide triion selective adsorption membrane is deposited. The bromide triion selective adsorption membrane is made of an electroactive material with an ion-imprinted structure, selected from either bromide triion-imprinted polypyrrole or bismuth oxybromide.

[0009] This invention achieves directional migration of ions by applying a small oxidation potential to the membrane electrode material to drive ion movement. The oxidation of ions and the formation of tribromide ions are achieved by irradiation oxidation in step a. This effectively utilizes the energy of γ-ray radiation in irradiation technology, reducing the electrical energy required for the oxidation of bromide ions. At the same time, compared with the electro-controlled ion exchange technology for bromine recovery, the irradiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange technology effectively improves the adsorption capacity of bromide ions.

[0010] The present invention also provides an apparatus for implementing the above-described method for recovering tribromide ions based on irradiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange, comprising: A single-chamber reactor is used to contain bromine-containing stock solution; the oxidation reaction of bromide ions, the formation of tribromide ions, and the placement of tribromide ions into the membrane are all completed within it. The liquid circuit system is used to input and output bromine-containing stock solution to the single-chamber reactor; A gamma-ray irradiation source is positioned above the single-chamber reactor to provide gamma-ray irradiation into the single-chamber reactor. An electrochemically driven system includes a two-electrode system in which the electrodes are immersed in a bromine-containing stock solution. The two-electrode system is electrically connected and controlled by a potential control system. The two-electrode system includes a working electrode and a counter electrode. The working electrode includes a conductive substrate, which is selected from carbon paper, carbon cloth, and conductive glass. A bromide triion selective adsorption membrane is deposited on the conductive substrate. The bromide triion selective adsorption membrane is an electroactive material with an ion-imprinted structure, selected from either bromide triion imprinted polypyrrole or bismuth oxybromide. The counter electrode is selected from either a platinum sheet or a graphite rod.

[0011] This invention also provides an application for the recovery of bromide triions based on irradiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange, which can be used to recover bromide ions from seawater, radioactive wastewater and raw material liquid.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This application provides a method, apparatus, and application for recovering tribromide ions based on irradiation-coupled electro-controlled ion exchange. By coupling irradiation technology and electro-controlled ion exchange technology, the oxidation of bromide ions to tribromide ions is completed using free radicals generated by gamma-ray irradiation. The oxidation of ions is entirely provided by irradiation, and the irradiation energy is adjustable and does not consume electrical energy. The electric field in the system is only used for the directional migration and adsorption of tribromide ions. Compared with traditional electro-controlled ion exchange, which relies on electrical energy to drive both oxidation and migration, the electric field in this invention only provides the driving force required for ion migration, resulting in a small electric field input, which effectively reduces the electrical energy consumed in the oxidation process. The external electric field potential is controllable, and the application range is wide. In the field of water treatment, no external chemical reagents are involved, fundamentally avoiding the problems of residues and secondary pollution caused by the use of chemicals. The process is clean and pollution-free, in line with the concepts of green chemistry and sustainable development.

[0013] The essence of the bromide ion recovery in this invention is the recovery of bromide ions by converting them into bromide triions. Compared with the recovery of bromide ions alone, this invention effectively improves the adsorption capacity of ions, has a high conversion rate, achieves efficient enrichment, and effectively improves the recovery efficiency.

[0014] In summary, this invention overcomes the limitations of single technologies and achieves a "1+1>2" effect through system integration. It demonstrates significant advantages in energy saving, consumption reduction, and environmentally friendly processes, and has important prospects for industrial application.
