Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically to an electrochemical simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal device and method based on a bipolar membrane. Background Technology
[0002] Existing methods for treating nitrate nitrogen mainly include biological denitrification, electrochemical reduction, and ion exchange. Among these, electrochemical reduction can remove NO3-. - Converted to N2 or NH4 + Phosphorus-containing wastewater is often treated using chemical precipitation methods. One such method is the crystallization and precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) through the removal of Mg... 2+ NH4 + With PO4 3- Under suitable conditions, magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate is formed, enabling the precipitation separation and recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus. In recent years, combining the electrochemical reduction of nitrates with the crystallization process of magnesium ammonium phosphate has attracted attention. However, within the same processing flow, it is necessary to coordinate the conversion of nitrate nitrogen, the generation of ammonium nitrogen, the supply of magnesium source, and the crystallization conditions. Existing technologies still have the following problems:
[0003] (1) Large dosage of reagent: Traditional chemical precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate usually requires the addition of magnesium salt to provide Mg 2+ The phosphorus is added according to the stoichiometric relationship or a certain excess coefficient based on the influent phosphorus concentration; at the same time, in order to obtain suitable crystallization conditions, alkaline agents are usually added to adjust the pH of the system. Therefore, this type of process involves the consumption of magnesium salts and acid-base adjustment agents.
[0004] (2) Reaction conditions are difficult to coordinate: NO3 - Electrochemical reduction typically requires H-rich water. + An alkaline environment is required to promote cathode electron transfer and increase the reduction rate; however, struvite precipitation requires alkaline conditions. When these two processes are carried out directly and simultaneously in the same system, their reaction environment and mass transfer conditions may affect each other, which is not conducive to the coordinated operation of nitrate nitrogen reduction and magnesium ammonium phosphate crystallization.
[0005] (3) Coupling of magnesium source release and electrochemical driving: Some existing electrochemical nitrogen and phosphorus treatment systems use magnesium anodes as both sacrificial anodes and magnesium sources, and their Mg 2+ The amount of magnesium ions released is directly related to the amount of electricity passed through, while the system current must also consider the driving demand of the electrochemical reaction. When the current density is high, the magnesium anode is consumed more quickly and surface passivation may occur; when the current density is low, the electrochemical reaction rate may be limited. Therefore, it is difficult to separately adjust the magnesium ion supply rate and the electrochemical reaction intensity in a single magnesium anode system.
[0006] (4) Mg 2+ Release and NH4 +Generation asynchrony: In traditional synchronous electrolysis systems, Mg 2+ Typically, a large amount of NO3 is released in the early stages of the reaction, and at this time... - Not yet fully converted to NH4 + , leading to Mg 2+ It cannot effectively participate in struvite formation, reducing magnesium utilization and affecting total phosphorus recovery efficiency.
[0007] In the prior art, invention patent CN118420057B discloses a method for simultaneously removing nitrogen and phosphorus and recovering struvite using electrochemical anodes and cathodes. This method employs a single-anode (e.g., magnesium plate) electrolytic cell, utilizing the corrosion of the magnesium anode to generate Mg. 2+ With PO4 in water 3- and NH4 + The reaction produces magnesium ammonium phosphate. In this type of single-anode operation, the magnesium anode serves as both the magnesium source electrode and the main power supply anode for the system. Its magnesium ion release rate is highly coupled with the current density, making independent adjustment difficult. When the current density is increased to enhance the electrochemical reaction efficiency, the magnesium anode corrodes and passivates rapidly, leading to a decrease in material utilization. The system lacks an effective pH control mechanism, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the synergistic requirements of nitrate nitrogen reduction and struvite crystallization. Utility model patent CN207158878U discloses a bioelectrochemical device for simultaneous wastewater treatment and nitrogen and phosphorus recovery. This device achieves nitrogen and phosphorus removal and partial resource recovery through bioelectrochemical methods. However, this scheme still requires the additional addition of magnesium salts for phosphorus recovery, and the pH requirements of different reaction processes still need further coordination.
[0008] In summary, existing technologies for coupling the electrochemical reduction of nitrates with the crystallization process of magnesium ammonium phosphate still face challenges such as difficulty in matching the conditions of different reaction processes, difficulty in separately adjusting the magnesium ion supply rate and the intensity of the electrochemical reaction, and the need to address the issues related to Mg. 2+ Release and NH4 + The existing electrochemical nitrogen and phosphorus co-processing devices and their operating methods still have room for improvement due to issues such as difficulty in matching the generation timing and the need for external magnesium salts or acid-base adjustment agents in some processes.

[0032] Example 1: Dual-Anode Step-by-Step Batch Processing Test use Figure 6 and Figure 7 The apparatus shown is used for batch processing. In this embodiment, a bipolar membrane manufactured by Jiangsu Lanbo New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is employed. The effective volume of the electrolytic cell is 2.0 L, and the effective areas of the Ru-Ir-Ti anode, magnesium plate anode, and Cu-Zn alloy cathode are all 100 cm². 2 The electrode spacing is 30 mm, and the effective area of the bipolar film is 80 cm². 2 The magnetic stirring speed was 300 r / min, and the reaction temperature was 25℃. The initial nitrate nitrogen concentration of the simulated wastewater was 50.2 mg / L, the phosphate concentration (as phosphorus) was 15.1 mg / L, the ammonium nitrogen concentration was 0.18 mg / L, and the initial pH was 7.12.
[0033] The first stage involves starting the second DC power supply connected to the inert anode at a current density of 15 mA / cm². 2 NO3 is carried out during this stage. - -N reduction with NH4 + -N accumulation. When NH4... + -N and PO4 3- The second stage is triggered when the molar ratio of -P reaches 1:1. This batch reached the trigger condition after 75 minutes of operation, after which the first DC power supply connected to the magnesium anode was turned on at a current density of 2 mA / cm². 2 And reduce the current density of the second DC power supply to 8 mA / cm². 2 Continue the reaction for 20 minutes. After the co-precipitation is complete, transfer the mixture to a sedimentation tank and let it stand for 30 minutes to separate the solid and liquid phases.
[0034] Based on the above data, NO3 - -N removal rate was 69.7%, inorganic nitrogen removal rate was 68.4%, PO4 removal rate was 68.4%. 3--P removal rate was 95.8%; based on the peak ammonium nitrogen level at the end of the first stage, ammonium nitrogen precipitation recovery rate was 89.6%. At 75 min, NH4... + -N and PO4 3- The molar ratio of -P is 1.03:1, and the PLC triggers the magnesium anode accordingly.
[0035] The magnesium anode experienced a mass loss of 29.0 mg in the second stage, with a theoretical dissolution rate of 30.2 mg based on electricity consumption. The magnesium entering the magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals, calculated from the total phosphorus removal, was approximately 22.7 mg, resulting in a magnesium utilization rate of approximately 78.3%. The collected and dried precipitate weighed 0.221 g, with a Mg:N:P molar ratio of 1.04:0.98:1.00. The average cell voltage in the first stage was 4.60 V, while the average cell voltages in the inert anode circuit and magnesium anode circuit in the second stage were 3.90 V and 3.20 V, respectively, translating to an energy consumption of approximately 4.94 kWh / m³. 3 .
[0036] Example 2: Comparative Test of Step-by-Step Operation and Different Operation Modes Under the same influent water quality, reaction volume, and total operating time as in Example 1, four comparative groups were set up: Group A adopted the bipolar membrane dual-anode stepwise operation mode of the present invention; Group B started the inert anode and magnesium anode simultaneously at the start of the reaction; Group C replaced the bipolar membrane with a conventional cation exchange membrane, with other conditions the same as Group A and no external acid or alkali added; Group D used only the magnesium anode and operated at 15 mA / cm². 2 Continuous operation. Simulation results for each group are shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 .
[0037] Depend on Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is evident that step-by-step triggering significantly reduces the ineffective dissolution of magnesium before ammonium nitrogen accumulates. Compared to the synchronous start-up group, Group A showed approximately 80% reduction in magnesium plate loss, an increase in magnesium utilization rate from 14% to 78%, and an increase in total phosphorus removal rate of approximately 8%. Compared to Group C, which used a conventional cation exchange membrane, Group A showed significantly improved removal rates for nitrate nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, and total phosphorus, indicating that the bipolar membrane generates H2 in situ. + and OH - This facilitates the synergistic effect of nitrate nitrogen reduction and magnesium ammonium phosphate crystallization. While a single magnesium anode group can achieve a higher total phosphorus removal rate, it significantly increases magnesium plate consumption, highlighting the advantage of independent control via dual anodes.
[0038] Example 3: Reflux Cycle Stability Test Five-cycle batch tests were conducted using the operating conditions of Example 1. After each cycle, 20% of the supernatant from the sedimentation tank was recycled to the storage tank, and simulated wastewater was added to maintain the initial NO3 levels for each cycle. --N and PO4 3- -P concentrations were restored to approximately 50 mg / L and 15 mg / L, respectively. Each cycle was performed according to NH4... + -N and PO4 3- -P molar ratio reaches the threshold of 1:1 to start up magnesium anode.
[0039] PO4 in five cycles 3- -P removal rate remained above 94%, inorganic nitrogen removal rate remained above 66%, unit treatment energy consumption was low, and fluctuation range was less than 4%. These results indicate that the bipolar membrane, inert anode, and Cu-Zn cathode have good operational stability and application prospects under reflux operation conditions.
