Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a method and system for preparing a composite three-dimensional electrode that does not increase the salinity of the effluent from low-salinity electrolysis. Background Technology
[0002] Electrochemical oxidation has advantages such as high efficiency, no secondary pollution, simple operation, low susceptibility to external environmental influences, and wide applicability. As a result, it is widely used in the treatment of various wastewaters, especially wastewaters with poor biodegradability, difficult degradation, and that cannot be treated by traditional treatment processes.
[0003] However, single electrochemical processes are often costly, especially for wastewater with high concentrations or poor conductivity. To reduce operating costs, electrocatalysis is often combined with traditional technologies such as biological methods. The mechanism involves first using electrocatalysis to convert high-molecular-weight, recalcitrant organic matter into low-molecular-weight, biodegradable organic matter; then, biological methods remove the small-molecule organic matter, thus achieving wastewater discharge compliance. This technology is feasible only if the microbial toxicity of the effluent from electrocatalysis is within acceptable limits. Some wastewaters have low salinity and poor conductivity, resulting in unsatisfactory electrolysis effects and significantly increased electrolysis costs. Therefore, to improve the electrochemical oxidation treatment effect and reduce its cost, salts need to be added to the wastewater to increase conductivity. However, on the one hand, the added salts lead to increased effluent salinity, which does not meet the requirements of relevant industry emission standards; on the other hand, salts will transform into ·OH, ClO·, and ·SO4 during electrolysis. - Oxidants with microbial toxicity can inhibit the effectiveness of biological treatment methods.
[0004] Developing an electrode and system that can improve the conductivity of wastewater without increasing effluent salinity and microbial toxicity is of great significance for achieving efficient, low-cost wastewater treatment that can be effectively combined with biological methods. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the invention, and these aspects of the invention can be implemented even without these specific details.
[0034] like Figure 1As shown, a composite three-dimensional electrode system that does not increase the salinity of the effluent from low-salinity electrolysis includes a low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device body 0, an anode plate 2, a polymer membrane module 6, and a cathode plate 9. The low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device body 0 is respectively provided with an inlet 1 and an outlet system 10. A main reaction zone 5 is located in the middle of the interior of the low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device body 0. The polymer membrane module 6 is located within the main reaction zone 5. The anode plate 2 and the cathode plate 9 are respectively located at opposite ends of the interior of the low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device body 0, with the anode plate 2 positioned near the inlet 1 and the cathode plate 9 positioned near the outlet system 10. The polymer membrane module 6 is located between the anode plate 2 and the cathode plate 9. Wastewater enters the low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device body 0 through the inlet 1, enters through the anode plate, and flows with the water flow into the polymer membrane module 6 through the bag opening. After the pollutants in the wastewater are removed, the clean water flows out from the outlet system 10.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, a first main reaction zone mesh plate 3 is disposed between the anode plate 2 and the polymer membrane assembly 6, and the first main reaction zone mesh plate 3 is provided with a plurality of first main reaction zone mesh holes 4. A second main reaction zone mesh plate 7 is disposed between the cathode plate 9 and the polymer membrane assembly 6, and the second main reaction zone mesh plate 7 is provided with a plurality of second main reaction zone mesh holes 8. The main reaction zone mesh plate can intercept impurities, and wastewater enters the polymer membrane assembly 6 through the main reaction zone mesh holes.

The bottom clips 15 of each conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 are connected to the body 0 of the low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device. The conductive reverse osmosis membrane bags 13 are fixed to the body 0 of the low-salinity electrochemical oxidation device via the bottom clips 15 to ensure that the opening of the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 faces the incoming water direction. The microcosm electrode wire is connected to the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13, and electrolyte salt 11 is placed inside the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13. The microcosm electrode wire includes a microcosm positive electrode 12 and a microcosm negative electrode 14. The microcosm positive electrode 12 is fixed to the opening of the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 to ensure the shape of the opening. The microcosm negative electrode 14 is fixed to the bottom of the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 to ensure that the bottom of the bag sinks and prevents the electrolyte salt from being washed away by water. The buckle 15 is set at the bottom of the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13. The opening of the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 faces the incoming water direction of the anode plate 2. The conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 is conductive and has lead dioxide and iridium dioxide oxidizing substances evenly distributed on its surface. Each conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 can be regarded as a three-dimensional electrode particle, which together with the anode plate 2 and the cathode plate 9 constitutes a three-dimensional electrode, increasing the contact area between the electrode and the pollutants. The microcosm positive electrode 12, the microcosm negative electrode 14, and the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 constitute a galvanic cell. Countless conductive reverse osmosis membrane bags 13 form countless galvanic cell microcosms in the system. Wastewater enters through anode plate 2 and flows into conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 through the bag opening. The dissolved electrolyte salts 11 react with electrons provided by the external circuit in the wastewater to generate ·OH, ClO·, and ·SO4. - Oxidizing free radicals oxidize and remove pollutants such as organic matter, and are then reduced to their original state. Pollutants are oxidized and removed through the action of a three-dimensional electrode and a galvanic cell. Clean water flows out of the system from the tail of the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13 through the cathode plate 9, while electrolyte salts and residual oxidizing free radicals are intercepted in the conductive reverse osmosis membrane bag 13. The coupling of the three-dimensional electrode and the galvanic cell significantly improves the electrocatalytic effect; numerous membrane bags form numerous streams of concentrate, increasing the conductivity of the wastewater; the membrane bag interception effect reduces the salinity and microbial toxicity of the effluent; the total effluent from the system is low-salt, low-microbial-toxicity, biodegradable wastewater, which can be combined with biological methods to achieve effluent discharge compliance.
