Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electrochemical devices are a class of devices that work by utilizing electrochemical reactions; these devices are used in a wide variety of fields including chemistry, materials science, environmental science, and electrochemical engineering, enabling a wide range of applications such as corrosion testing, battery development, and environmental monitoring.

[0003] Among them, electrochemical COD removal (Chemical Oxygen Demand) mainly involves electrochemical oxidation and electrochemical reduction, as well as electrocoagulation and other technologies; electrochemical oxidation is a direct electrolysis reaction at the anode that loses electrons, causing the organic matter to oxidize and degrade; a challenge of this method is that oxygen evolution will reduce the current efficiency of oxidative degradation of organic matter and increase energy consumption; however, by selecting appropriate electrode materials, this process can be optimized to a certain extent; electrochemical reduction is to obtain electrons at the cathode of the electrolytic cell, or to reduce indirectly, using the redox medium formed during the electrolysis process to remove pollutants.

[0004] However, due to the instability of the influent water quality, the equipment performance may be reduced or malfunction due to the fluctuation of water quality;

[0005] At the same time, there is less disturbance of the liquid in the electrochemical cell, which affects the normal reaction efficiency of the water body, resulting in large water usage and excessive consumption. Utility Model Content

[0040] A water tank water production pipeline 62 and a circulation return pipeline 63 connected to the output end of the circulating water tank system;

[0041] The electrochemical cell 1 is connected to the circulating water inlet pipe 64 and the end of the circulating return pipe 63 away from the circulating water tank system;

[0042] Among them, the two input ends of the circulating return pipe 63 connected to the circulating water tank system are both equipped with a water pump, and the input end of the circulating water inlet pipe 64 connected to the electrochemical cell 1 is also equipped with a water pump;

[0043] During operation, the input end of the water tank water inlet pipeline 61 is connected to the external liquid supply pipeline, so that the external liquid supply pipeline supplies liquid to the overall device through the water tank water inlet pipeline 61;

[0044] First, the water tank inlet pipe 61 supplies liquid to the first circulating water tank in the circulating water tank system until the water level in the circulating water tank reaches the rated full position, and then the water tank inlet pipe 61 is closed to supply liquid to the circulating water tank;

[0045] Secondly, the water tank inlet pipe 61 supplies liquid to the second circulating water tank in the circulating water tank system until the water level in the circulating water tank reaches the rated full position, and the liquid supply from the water tank inlet pipe 61 to the circulating water tank is closed and left for standby; at the same time, the circulating water inlet pipe 64 and the circulating return pipe 63 are opened to allow the liquid in the first circulating water tank to circulate with the liquid in the electrochemical cell 1 until it is detected that the liquid in the electrochemical cell 1 no longer meets the reaction conditions;

[0046] The following cycle is performed, the water tank inlet pipe 61 supplies liquid to the Nth circulating water tank in the circulating water tank system (N is greater than or equal to 2), and when N is exceeded, it starts again from the second circulating water tank; until the water level in the circulating water tank reaches the rated full position, the water tank inlet pipe 61 is closed to supply liquid to the circulating water tank, and it is left for standby; the circulating water inlet pipe 64 and the circulating return pipe 63 between the N-1th circulating water tank and the electrochemical cell are opened, and the circulating water inlet pipe 64 and the circulating return pipe 63 between the N-2th circulating water tank and the electrochemical cell are closed, so that the liquid in the N-1th circulating water tank and the liquid in the electrochemical cell 1 circulate, and at the same time, the N-2th circulating water tank discharges the reacted liquid to the outside through the water tank water production pipe 62 and then stops until it is detected that the liquid in the electrochemical cell 1 no longer meets the reaction conditions;
