TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to sewage treatment technical field especially relates to a kind of for recycling nitrogen phosphorus wastewater resource self-driven electrochemical device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the growth of world population, the global food production scale expands year by year. In order to meet the increasing demand for human food, the application amount of chemical fertilizer is continuously improved. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as essential elements required for plant growth, are the main components of chemical fertilizer. Today, phosphorus and potassium mainly come from the mining of ore, while phosphorus ore and potassium ore are considered as non-renewable resources, and the distribution of phosphorus and potassium ore is extremely uneven in the world. Recycling nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium resources from waste streams not only can reduce environmental pollution, but also can provide certain support for maintaining the stability of world politics. There are many methods for recycling nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from waste streams, among which the struvite precipitation method has attracted the attention of researchers due to its simple operation and relatively high recovery rate of struvite. However, due to the lack of sufficient alkalinity and magnesium ions in most wastewater, chemical substances need to be continuously added as magnesium source and alkali source in the traditional struvite precipitation method.
[0003] The existing patent 202010459575.5 provides a method for recycling phosphorus resources and electrical energy from urine based on magnesium-air fuel cell, which utilizes the principle of Mg 2+ and OH - generated during the operation of magnesium-air fuel cell, uses source-separated urine as electrolyte, combines nitrogen and phosphorus in urine with magnesium ions released by magnesium-air fuel cell to generate struvite precipitation or magnesium phosphate precipitation, and produces electricity at the same time. The cell cavity of the magnesium-air fuel cell designed in this patent is a cuboid structure, with a cavity volume of 60-210 mL and a spacing between the cathode and anode of the battery of 1.1-4.1 cm. The device uses a sheet-shaped air cathode and a magnesium anode in the form of a convex structure. Although the device has a stirring system, it is found that there is a hydraulic dead zone in the device during actual operation, which can cause struvite precipitation to agglomerate in the hydraulic dead zone. The device does not have a precipitation collection structure, and needs to be completely disassembled for precipitation cleaning and collection after each operation. The convex magnesium anode used in the device is not uniformly electrochemically corroded during use, and there is a probability of fracture at the connection between the top of the convex structure during continuous operation. The edge effect can make the edge corrosion of the flat plate electrode more serious.
[0004] The existing patent 202311717396.7 provides a device and method for recovering phosphorus in sludge filtrate of magnesium air battery, by mixing sludge and solid carbon source to obtain sludge filtrate containing high phosphate, then adding sludge filtrate into magnesium air battery, and additionally adding ammonium source to produce struvite. The magnesium anode plate of the technology uses magnesium plate with purity of more than 99%, which is more expensive than magnesium alloy plate, and cannot obtain better operation effect. The device does not design a stirring system, the hydraulic condition in the device is not good, and the electrolyte is not uniformly mixed, which will affect the treatment efficiency of the device.
