[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the described 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.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The use of terms such as "a" or "an" in this patent application specification and claims does not indicate a limitation of quantity, but rather indicates the presence of at least one.

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0021] This application discloses a three-stage chamber salt and acid / alkali treatment device based on electrochemical reaction.

[0022] Reference Figure 1A three-stage electrochemical reaction-based salt and acid / alkali treatment device includes multiple interconnected three-stage electrochemical reaction units. Each three-stage electrochemical reaction unit has three independent chambers separated by an electrolytic membrane. The three independent chambers include an anode reaction chamber 1, a desalination chamber 3, and a cathode reaction chamber 2 arranged sequentially. The anode reaction chamber 1 and the desalination chamber 3 are separated by an electrolytic membrane 8, and the cathode reaction chamber 2 and the desalination chamber 3 are separated by an electrolytic membrane 9. An anode rod is installed in the anode reaction chamber 1, and the anode terminal 27 of the anode rod extends out of the anode reaction chamber 1. A cathode rod is installed in the cathode reaction chamber 2, and the cathode terminal 26 of the cathode rod extends out of the cathode reaction chamber 2. An electrochemical anodic reaction is realized in the anode reaction chamber 1 to generate acid, and an electrochemical cathodic reaction is realized in the cathode reaction chamber 2 to generate alkali. In the desalination chamber 3, saline wastewater is desalinated to generate fresh water. In this embodiment, the installation and application of the cathode rod and the anode rod are existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower sidewalls of the anode reaction chamber 1, desalination chamber 3, and cathode reaction chamber 2 are integrally formed with water inlets, and the upper sidewalls of the anode reaction chamber 1, desalination chamber 3, and cathode reaction chamber 2 are integrally formed with water outlets. The water inlet of the desalination chamber 3 is used for the entry of saline wastewater, which is then discharged through the water outlet of the desalination chamber 3 after desalination treatment in the desalination chamber 3. The water outlets 6 of the anode chambers of the multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are interconnected and flow into the strong acid tank 18. The water outlets 7 of the cathode chambers of the multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are interconnected and flow into the alkaline sedimentation tank 19.

[0024] Furthermore, a three-stage salt and acid-base treatment device based on electrochemical reaction also includes a weak acid tank 16 and a weak alkali tank 17. The anode chamber inlets 4 of multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are connected through an anode chamber water inlet manifold 12, which is connected to the weak acid tank 16. The anode chamber outlets 6 of multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are connected through an anode chamber water outlet manifold 14, which is connected to the strong acid tank 18. The cathode chamber inlets 5 of multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are connected through a cathode chamber water inlet manifold 13, which is connected to the weak alkali tank 17. The cathode chamber outlets 7 of multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are connected through a cathode chamber water outlet manifold 15, which is connected to the alkali precipitation tank 19.

[0025] Reference Figure 1The strong acid tank 18 is connected to a chlorine recovery device 21 at its top. The outlet of the strong acid tank 18 is connected to both the acid utilization module 20 and the weak acid tank 16. The strong acid tank 18 is connected to both the chlorine recovery device 21 and the acid utilization module 20. Chlorine gas generated by the electrochemical reaction escapes from the acid and is recycled through the chlorine recovery device 21. The acid generated by the electrochemical reaction is recycled through the acid utilization module 20. If the acidity is insufficient, the acid in the strong acid tank 18 returns to the weak acid tank 16 and re-enters the anode reaction chamber 1 to further increase the acidity. In this embodiment, the chlorine recovery device 21 can be a device that uses sodium hydroxide solution spraying for purification, recovering chlorine gas and generating a 10% sodium hypochlorite solution as a byproduct, with the exhaust gas meeting emission standards. Its designed processing capacity is 300 kg / day, and the chlorine recovery rate is 99.99%. Other treatment and recovery equipment can also be used, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 The bottom of the alkali sedimentation tank 19 is integrally formed with an outlet, which is connected to a filter press 22. Calcium and magnesium ions and other high-valence metal ions from the wastewater are precipitated in the strong alkali sedimentation tank and pressed into sludge cakes by the filter press 22 for recycling and storage. The upper outer wall of the alkali sedimentation tank 19 is integrally formed with an upper outlet, which connects to a clear alkali tank 23. The outlet of the clear alkali tank 23 is connected to both the alkali utilization module 24 and the weak alkali tank 17. The supernatant from the alkali sedimentation tank 19 enters the clear alkali tank 23, which is connected to the alkali utilization module 24, realizing the resource-based treatment of the alkali. If the alkalinity of the alkali is insufficient, the alkali from the clear alkali tank 23 returns to the weak alkali tank 17 and re-enters the cathode reaction chamber 2, further increasing the alkalinity.

[0027] During water treatment, clean water is used as makeup water for weak acid and weak alkali solutions. When the acidity of the acid in the strong acid tank 18 reaches the required level, it is discharged into the acid utilization module 20, while clean water is added to the weak acid tank 16. Similarly, when the alkalinity of the alkali in the strong alkali sedimentation tank reaches the required level, it is discharged into the alkali utilization module 24, while clean water is added to the weak alkali tank 17.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 Each three-chamber electrochemical reaction unit has a digital voltmeter 30 electrically connected between the cathode terminal 26 of the cathode rod and the anode terminal 27 of the anode rod, which can monitor the cell voltage of each three-chamber electrochemical reaction unit. In this embodiment, the use of the digital voltmeter 30 is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0029] Reference Figure 4The anode terminals 27 of the anode rods and the cathode terminals 26 of the cathode rods of multiple three-stage electrochemical reaction units are connected in series and electrically connected to the high-frequency DC power supply 25 through the anode terminal block 29 and the cathode terminal block 28, which can adjust the reaction current of all two-stage electrochemical reaction units.

[0030] The implementation principle of this utility model's three-stage chamber salt and acid / alkali treatment device based on electrochemical reaction is as follows:

[0031] Saline wastewater enters desalination chamber 3. Under the influence of an electric field, cations in the wastewater migrate towards the cathode, generating an alkaline solution in cathode reaction chamber 2. Anions migrate towards the anode, generating an acidic solution in anode reaction chamber 1. The salinity of the wastewater, after the removal of cations and anions, decreases and is discharged from the outlet of desalination chamber 3. Calcium, magnesium, and other high-valence metal cations precipitate in the alkaline solution and are separated from water by a filter press 22. The supernatant alkaline solution can be recycled for wastewater treatment, desulfurization, and pH adjustment. Chlorine gas generated by the electrochemical reaction escapes from the strong acid solution generated in anode reaction chamber 1. This gas is absorbed by sodium hydroxide or ammonia to generate sodium hypochlorite or ammonium chloride. The remaining acid solution is neutralized with ammonia to generate a mixture of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate, which is a compound fertilizer. Alternatively, it can be neutralized with lime to generate high-quality gypsum. This process achieves resource recycling while improving water treatment efficiency.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
