AI Technical Summary
In existing electric repair technologies, the ion migration distance during the electrolysis process in the electrolytic cell is too long, resulting in excessive energy consumption. Cathode deposits can easily clog the peristaltic pump tubes, reducing repair efficiency. Furthermore, the peristaltic pump tubes are prone to liquid backflow, affecting the repair effect.
An anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange membrane are installed in the electrolysis chamber. Heavy metal cations accumulate on one side of the anion exchange membrane to form precipitates, while hydroxide ions react with them to form metal precipitates that accumulate on the outside of the membrane. This prevents the precipitates from clogging the peristaltic pump tubes, and energy consumption is reduced by optimizing the size of the electrolysis chamber and the design of the peristaltic pump.
It improves the efficiency of electric repair, reduces energy consumption, reduces material loss of peristaltic pump tubing, prevents liquid backflow, and enhances the repair effect.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the soil electric dynamic repair technical field, concretely relates to a device for electric dynamic repair of heavy metal contaminated soil. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of industrial society, the substandard discharge of waste water, and the pollutants containing heavy metals entering the environment through various channels, the heavy metal pollution of soil is increasingly serious. The heavy metal pollutants have poor migration in soil and cannot be utilized by microorganisms, and finally are enriched in human bodies through the food chain, endangering the health of human beings.
[0003] The electric dynamic repair is to insert electrodes into soil, and under the action of a stable electric field, the pollutants attached to the surface of soil particles are moved directionally through the electric migration, and the pollutants are finally enriched near the electrode area, and then are treated by separation, so as to remove the pollutants. However, the ion migration distance is too long in the electrolytic process of the commonly used electrolytic cell, which results in too large energy consumption, increased repair time, and a large amount of cathode precipitates generated by the electrolytic metal cations, which easily block the peristaltic pump pipe for adding chemicals, waste the pipe material, and cause the peristaltic pump pipe immersed in the electrolyte to easily cause liquid backflow, pollute the buffer solution, and reduce the electric dynamic repair efficiency. SUMMARY

[0015] Preferably, the length:width:height of the electrolysis chamber is 1-2:2-4:1-2. By designing the size of the electrolysis chamber, the distance between the anode and the cathode is reduced, the driving voltage of the power supply is reduced when the same quality of contaminated soil is remediated, and the energy consumption is reduced.
