Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of groundwater treatment technology, specifically relating to an electrocatalytic groundwater extraction and treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of groundwater treatment technology, with the acceleration of industrialization and the increasingly severe environmental pollution problems, the treatment of polluted groundwater has become an urgent problem to be solved. Traditional groundwater treatment technologies mainly include physical, chemical and biological methods, but these methods have many limitations in terms of treatment efficiency, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. In recent years, electrocatalysis technology has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of polluted groundwater treatment due to its advantages such as high efficiency, environmental protection and strong controllability.
[0003] Electrocatalysis technology utilizes an external electric field to trigger a series of redox reactions on the electrode surface, thereby degrading and removing pollutants. In the treatment of polluted groundwater, electrocatalysis can efficiently degrade different types of pollutants while avoiding secondary pollution. However, existing electrocatalytic groundwater treatment equipment still has certain shortcomings. Traditional electrocatalytic reaction devices often suffer from problems such as easy passivation of the electrode surface and low mass transfer efficiency, which seriously restricts the treatment efficiency and stability of electrocatalysis technology. Electrode passivation is mainly due to the accumulation of deposits or intermediate products generated during the reaction on the electrode surface, which leads to a decrease in electrode activity and thus affects the catalytic effect. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) By setting up a reaction tank, ion exchange membrane, insulating connecting plate, anode tube, cathode tube and threaded mixing rod, when in use, the water injection pipe at the top of the reaction tank is connected to the second pump body, and the polluted groundwater is discharged into the reaction tank through the second pumping pipe. The ion exchange membrane in the middle of the inner wall of the reaction tank divides the tank into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber. The insulating connecting plate is fixed to the top of the tank and connected to the anode tube and cathode tube respectively. The anode tube acts as the anode to generate hydroxyl radicals to oxidize pollutants, and the cathode tube acts as the cathode to complete the reduction reaction. The ion exchange membrane ensures the selective migration of ions in the two chambers and prevents cross-interference of products. The assembly box at the top of the reaction tank has a built-in first drive motor, which drives the drive wheel to rotate through the drive rod. The drive wheel is linked to the transmission wheel through the transmission belt. The movable rod at the bottom of the transmission wheel drives multiple sets of threaded mixing rods to rotate in the reaction tank, so as to achieve full contact between the water and the electrode and prevent the concentration polarization of the electrode surface, thereby achieving the effects of efficient degradation of pollutants, enhancing the mass transfer efficiency of the reaction system, and preventing electrode passivation, and significantly improving the stability of the electrocatalytic treatment process and the pollutant removal rate.
[0019] (2) Through the setup of a filter tank, stirring rod, coarse sand layer, activated carbon layer, manganese sand layer, stirring blades, addition pipe, pH meter, discharge pipe, and solenoid valve, during use, the sealing cover at the top of the filter tank and the protective box form a sealed space. The second drive motor inside the protective box drives the stirring rod to rotate through the transmission rod. The coarse sand layer at the top of the stirring rod first intercepts large suspended particles, the activated carbon layer in the middle adsorbs dissolved organic matter, and the manganese sand layer at the bottom further removes heavy metal ions and catalytically oxidizes ferrous iron. At the same time, the stirring blades at the bottom of the stirring rod enhance the contact efficiency between the filter medium and water. The addition pipe, together with the pH meter, monitors and adjusts the inlet water in real time. The pH level is carefully controlled to ensure optimal conditions for the subsequent electrocatalytic reaction. The treated water is then discharged through a drain pipe, and the flow rate is precisely controlled by a solenoid valve. This achieves a three-stage deep treatment of polluted groundwater: physical filtration of the coarse sand layer to remove suspended solids, chemical adsorption of organic matter by activated carbon, and catalytic oxidation of heavy metals by the manganese sand layer. Combined with the oxidation-reduction reaction of the electrocatalytic reactor, a complete "pretreatment-deep treatment-precision control" treatment chain is formed. This not only significantly improves the removal efficiency of pollutants, but also enables convenient movement and automated operation of the equipment through modular design, ultimately achieving efficient, stable, and portable groundwater pollution control.
