Abstract

The application provides a method and device for preparing peroxylactic acid disinfectant by using waste polylactic acid, the device comprising a power supply assembly, an anode chamber, a cathode chamber and a cation exchange membrane for separating the anode chamber and the cathode chamber. A ruthenium-based electrode is arranged in the anode chamber. A titanium-based electrode is arranged in the cathode chamber, and sodium sulfate electrolyte is arranged in both the anode chamber and the cathode chamber. The ruthenium-based electrode and the titanium-based electrode are connected with the power supply assembly. In the application, the waste polylactic acid is hydrolyzed to obtain a lactic acid solution; then the lactic acid solution is added into the anode chamber and the cathode chamber of the device for preparing peroxylactic acid disinfectant, and then the device is started and runs in a constant current state to obtain the peroxylactic acid disinfectant. Compared with the prior art, the application realizes high-value resource utilization of the waste PLA, has the advantages of in-situ generation, high safety, few disinfection by-products, low operation cost and strong adaptability, and is suitable for drinking water treatment, reclaimed water reuse and decentralized water supply system.
