[0001] The present application relates to the sewage treatment technical field, more specifically, it relates to a low-voltage electrolytic device for sewage treatment. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of modern industry, the problem of wastewater discharge is becoming increasingly serious, especially the wastewater containing refractory organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, which poses a great threat to the water environment. If these wastewaters are directly discharged without proper treatment, it will lead to eutrophication of water body, rapid deterioration of water quality, and further serious damage to the ecological balance, affecting the living environment of human beings and other organisms. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop efficient, economical and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technology.
[0003] As an advanced wastewater treatment technology, electrochemical oxidation method has shown broad application prospects in the field of refractory wastewater treatment due to its high efficiency, high selectivity, simple operation and environmental friendliness. Through electrochemical reaction, this technology can effectively degrade organic matter in wastewater and convert ammonia nitrogen into harmless substances, thereby achieving wastewater purification. However, despite the many advantages of electrochemical oxidation method, its high energy consumption and high cost remain the main bottleneck restricting its widespread application in practical application. How to further optimize electrochemical oxidation technology, improve treatment efficiency and reduce operating cost is a key technical problem to be solved in the current wastewater treatment field. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] Example
[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a low-pressure electrolysis device for wastewater treatment includes an electrolytic cell 1, a working electrode 2 disposed inside the electrolytic cell 1, a baffle 3 mounted on the working electrode 2, a metal base plate 4 disposed at the lower part of the electrolytic cell 1, the anode and cathode of the working electrode 2 connected to the metal base plate 4, a jet pump 5 disposed at the bottom of the electrolytic cell 1, an air inlet 10 and an air outlet 9 disposed on the electrolytic cell 1, and a water inlet 6 and an outlet 7 disposed on the clean water pipe. The device consists of five sets of electrolytic cells 1, which are connected sequentially by pipelines. The air outlet 9 of the later set of electrolytic cells 1 is connected to the air inlet 10 of the earlier set of electrolytic cells 1. Five sets of electrolytic cells 1 are connected sequentially through pipelines to form a series structure. Wastewater from each set of electrolytic cells overflows into the next set of electrolytic cells, allowing for gradual wastewater treatment and improving treatment efficiency. The outlet 7 is fitted onto the working electrode 2. The air outlet 9 of the next set of electrolytic cells 1 is connected to the air inlet 10 of the previous set of electrolytic cells 1, ensuring continuous wastewater treatment and effective gas discharge. Two nozzles are installed on the outlet 7; one nozzle sprays water upwards onto the working electrode, and the other sprays water downwards, ensuring that both nozzles completely cover the surface of the working electrode when operating.
[0025] The water inlet end of the jet pump 5 is externally connected with a clean water pipe, the water outlet end of the clean water pipe is sleeved on the bottom of the working electrode 2, the working electrode 2 is connected with a direct current stabilized power supply 8, a branch pipeline 21 is arranged between the clean water pipe and the jet pump 5, a hand valve 22 is arranged on the branch pipeline 21, and a valve 23 is arranged on the clean water pipe.
[0026] When the efficiency of the working electrode 2 is reduced, the valve 23 is opened and the hand valve 22 is closed to flush the working electrode 2, the power of the jet pump 5 is increased, and the clean water is sprayed out at a very high speed at the outlet end, so that the impurities are washed down. When flushing is not required, the hand valve 22 is opened and the valve 23 is closed to realize internal circulation of the sewage, and at the same time, the power of the jet pump 5 is reduced, so that the sewage can flow at a very low speed to contact the working electrode 2 and react. If the flow rate is too large, the reaction is not perfect. The sewage in the electrolytic cell 1 is disturbed, and the sewage in the electrolytic cell 1 is also stirred.
[0027] The last group of the electrolytic cell 1 is connected with an alkali washing tower 11, the alkali washing tower 11 is internally provided with a spray 12, the alkali washing tower 11 is connected with an ammonia absorption tower 13, and the air outlet 9 of the ammonia absorption tower 13 is connected with an induced draft fan 14. The air outlet 9 of the last group of electrolytic cells 1 is connected with the alkali washing tower 11, which can remove harmful gases generated in the electrolysis process, such as acidic gases, and protect the environment.
[0028] The ammonia absorption tower 13 connected with the alkali washing tower 11 can further absorb and treat harmful gases such as ammonia gas that may be contained, improving the quality of the discharged gas.
[0029] The baffle 3 installed on the working electrode 2 in the electrolytic cell 1 can optimize the path of the wastewater flowing through the electrode, increase the contact area and time of the wastewater with the working electrode 2, and improve the efficiency of electrochemical oxidation. When flushing, the baffle 3 will be sprayed out due to the large water pressure. The baffle 3 allows the water to flow back into the electrolytic cell 1, and at the same time, the baffle 3 also plays a stirring role, promoting the uniform distribution of substances in the wastewater, further improving the treatment effect. At the same time, in order to prevent the working electrode 2 from being corroded and contaminated by pollutants, a jet pump 5 is specially arranged in the electrolytic cell 1 to blow off the electrode, preventing it from being affected by the attached pollutants.
[0030] The frontmost electrolytic cell 1 is connected with a dosing system, the dosing system comprises a dosing barrel 15, the dosing barrel 15 is internally provided with a stirrer 16, the lower portion of the dosing barrel 15 is provided with an adjusting tank 17, one side of the adjusting tank 17 is provided with an aeration tank 18, and the aeration tank 18 communicates with the adjusting tank 17.
[0031] The aeration tank 18 is connected with a blower 19, and a pH sensor and a temperature control sensor are arranged in the aeration tank 18; the dosing barrel 15 is connected with the aeration tank 18 and the adjusting tank 17 through pipelines respectively, and a circulating pump 20 is arranged on the pipelines between the dosing barrel 15 and the aeration tank 18 and between the dosing barrel 15 and the adjusting tank 17.
[0032] The dosing system can accurately control the amount and type of the medicament added into the sewage through the dosing barrel 15 and the stirrer 16, which helps to adjust the chemical properties of the sewage and improve the electrolysis effect.
[0033] The cooperation of the adjusting tank 17 and the aeration tank 18 can further adjust the pH value and temperature of the sewage, so as to provide suitable conditions for the electrolysis process.
[0034] The aeration tank 18 is used to blow off the ammonia nitrogen in the sewage after the pH of the sewage is adjusted to be alkaline, and the ammonia gas after the blow-off enters the ammonia absorption tower 13.
[0035] The arrangement of the pH sensor and the temperature control sensor can realize real-time monitoring of the environmental conditions in the aeration tank 18, so as to ensure the stability and controllability of the sewage treatment process.
[0036] The circulating pump 20 arranged on the pipelines between the dosing barrel 15 and the aeration tank 18 and between the dosing barrel 15 and the adjusting tank 17 can ensure the uniform distribution of the medicament and the sufficient mixing of the sewage, so as to improve the treatment effect. The device realizes the low-energy-consumption electrolysis method to reduce the ammonia nitrogen in the sewage. The cathode and anode of the working electrode 2 are connected with the metal bottom plate 4 placed at the bottom of the electrolytic tank 1. In this operation, the electric current passes through the metal bottom plate 4 and the electrolyte at the same time. In the whole electrolysis system, the resistance mainly depends on the resistance of the metal bottom plate 4, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the electric current and reducing the voltage of the electrolysis reaction. From the perspective of environmental protection and energy saving, the use of high voltage usually accompanies high energy consumption, which is not conducive to environmental friendliness. However, the low voltage and high current of the device change the traditional electrolysis method and realize energy saving and environmental protection.
[0037] In the test stage of the device, the cathode and anode of the working electrode 2 are connected with the metal bottom plate 4 to maintain the stability of the device operation when the amount of sewage is 40L and the electrolysis reaction is operated.

The industrial biochemical adjusting tank 17 wastewater is taken, the ammonia nitrogen in the original wastewater is 7032 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen after the pretreatment by the device is 922 mg / L, and the degradation rate of the ammonia nitrogen is 86.9%.
[0038] In the test phase, the device is operated by connecting the working electrode 2 anode and cathode to the metal base plate 4 when the sewage volume is 40L, the electrolysis reaction is operated, to maintain the stability of the device operation. In the implementation, the base plate material is selected from corrosion-resistant materials, the voltage is 5.24V, the current is 5.00A, the current density is 1100mA / cm2, the initial adjustment pH is 9, and the electrolysis time is set to 5 hours for pretreatment.
