Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water treatment activation devices, and in particular to an electroactive microbial water treatment activation device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the widespread use of antibiotics in medicine, agriculture, and animal husbandry, the pollution problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and resistance genes (ARGs) in water bodies has become increasingly serious. Antibiotics enter the aquatic environment through medical wastewater, domestic sewage, and agricultural runoff, resulting in the widespread presence of ARBs and ARGs in natural water bodies and drinking water sources. These resistant bacteria and genes not only pose a potential threat to human health but can also spread among bacteria through horizontal gene transfer, exacerbating the spread of antibiotic resistance and becoming a major challenge in the global public health field.
[0003] Traditional water treatment technologies, such as biological treatment processes, membrane filtration technology, and chemical disinfection methods, have certain limitations in removing ARBs and ARGs from water.
[0004] While biological treatment can reduce the concentration of some ARBs and ARGs in water, it often only transfers pollutants from the liquid phase to the solid phase (such as sludge), without truly removing them. Furthermore, the abundant microbial community in sludge may promote the development of more resistant bacteria and resistance genes. Membrane filtration technology faces problems of membrane fouling and the accumulation of resistance genes on the membrane surface, potentially leading to secondary pollution. Simultaneously, the rich bacterial environment on the membrane surface promotes the horizontal transfer of resistance genes, further exacerbating the pollution risk. Chemical disinfection methods, such as chlorination and ultraviolet disinfection, can effectively kill some ARBs, but their removal effect on ARGs is limited, and they may produce disinfection byproducts. These byproducts may not only trigger antibiotic-like selection, strengthening environmental antibiotic resistance, but may also promote the horizontal transfer of resistance genes through gene mutations.
[0005] Among existing technologies, the electroactive microbial water treatment activation device, as an emerging water treatment device, exhibits unique advantages. This device integrates high-energy electrons, ultraviolet radiation, and various highly oxidizing active substances. Through a gas discharge process under a high-voltage electric field, it generates rich physicochemical effects, including high-energy electron bombardment, ultraviolet photolysis, and the generation of highly oxidizing free radicals (such as hydroxyl radicals (·OH), superoxide radicals (·O2⁻), and ozone (O3). These effects work together to purify pollutants in the water. Compared to traditional methods, the electroactive microbial water treatment activation device has significant advantages such as strong oxidizing capacity, mild reaction conditions, and no need to add exogenous chemical agents.
[0006] However, existing electroactive microbial water treatment activation devices lack flexibility in carrier gas selection. The type of carrier gas has a significant impact on the physicochemical properties of the discharge plasma; different carrier gas conditions result in varying types and concentrations of active substances, thus affecting the removal efficiency of ARBs and ARGs.
[0007] Most devices on the market are designed for use with a fixed carrier gas, making it difficult to flexibly change the carrier gas according to actual treatment needs and water quality characteristics, which limits the treatment efficiency and adaptability of the device.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, an electroactive microbial water treatment activation device includes a base 1, and a support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A treatment tank 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 2. A quartz glass tube 4 is fixedly connected inside the treatment tank 3. A support base 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 away from the treatment tank 3. Several carrier gas storage bottles 12 are installed on the top of the support base 11. A gas collection pipe 14 is provided above the carrier gas storage bottles 12. A valve 13 is connected between the gas collection pipe 14 and the carrier gas storage bottles 12. A connecting pipe 15 is connected between the gas collection pipe 14 and the quartz glass tube 4. A flow meter 16 is installed on the connecting pipe 15. A fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 11. A movable plate 26 is slidably connected to the top of the support base 11 and to one side of the fixed plate 20. An arc-shaped clamping plate 28 is fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 26. An adjusting component for controlling the horizontal movement of the movable plate 26 is installed inside the support base 11.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, a metal conductive rod 5 is fixedly connected inside the quartz glass tube 4, a carrier gas inlet 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the quartz glass tube 4, and several discharge channels 7 are opened on the outer wall of the quartz glass tube 4 located inside the treatment tank 3. An exhaust port 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the treatment tank 3, a water inlet 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the treatment tank 3, and a drain port 10 is fixedly connected below the water inlet 9. The quartz glass tube 4 serves as the core cavity for the discharge reaction. The metal conductive rod 5 fixed inside the tube is connected to an external high-voltage power supply to form a high-voltage electric field. The carrier gas is introduced into the tube through the carrier gas inlet 6 at the top of the outer side of the quartz glass tube 4. Under the action of the high-voltage electric field, gas discharge occurs, generating high-energy electrons, ultraviolet radiation, and highly oxidizing active substances. These active substances are evenly released into the water in the treatment tank 3 through several discharge channels 7 opened on the outer wall of the quartz glass tube 4. The harmful substances in the water are fully reacted with the active substances and then treated and purified. The treated water is discharged through the drain outlet 10 below the inlet 9, and the exhaust gas generated during the reaction is discharged through the exhaust outlet 8 at the top of the treatment tank 3. like Figure 4 As shown, several carrier gas storage bottles 12 are provided, and the gas collection pipe 14 is provided with an input end corresponding to the carrier gas storage bottle 12 and an output end. Among them, several carrier gas storage bottles 12 can store different types of carrier gas respectively, and the gas collection pipe 14 is provided with an input end corresponding to the number of carrier gas storage bottles 12, which can simultaneously connect multiple types of carrier gas and then achieve centralized transportation through a single output end. Furthermore, the design of the gas manifold 14 with multiple input and single output terminals, along with multiple carrier gas storage bottles 12, breaks the limitation of traditional devices with a single carrier gas. It can flexibly select a single carrier gas or a mixed carrier gas for supply according to the characteristics of water quality and treatment needs. By optimizing the physicochemical properties of the discharge plasma through different carrier gases, the types and concentrations of active substances are enriched, thereby adapting to the treatment needs of water bodies with different levels of pollution and improving the applicability and treatment flexibility of the device. like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a valve 13 is fixedly connected between the output end of the carrier gas storage bottle 12 and the input end of the gas manifold 14. A connecting pipe 15 is fixedly connected between the output end of the gas manifold 14 and the carrier gas inlet 6. A flow meter 16 installed on the connecting pipe 15 is used to adjust the input flow rate of the carrier gas. Among them, the valve 13 between the output end of the carrier gas storage bottle 12 and the input end of the gas collection pipe 14 is used to control the start and stop of the corresponding carrier gas storage bottle 12, so as to realize the switching of different carrier gases and the adjustment of the mixing ratio; the connecting pipe 15 serves as a carrier gas delivery channel, accurately delivering the carrier gas collected by the gas collection pipe 14 to the carrier gas inlet 6 of the quartz glass tube 4; the flow meter 16 installed on the connecting pipe 15 can monitor and adjust the input flow rate of the carrier gas in real time. Furthermore, the independent control function of valve 13 makes the carrier gas switching operation convenient and can be quickly adapted to different processing scenarios; flow meter 16 realizes precise control of carrier gas flow, avoiding the impact of excessive or insufficient flow on the discharge effect. Excessive flow may lead to excessive concentration of active material, resulting in waste, while insufficient flow will result in insufficient active material, affecting the processing efficiency. Ultimately, it ensures the stability and accuracy of carrier gas supply and improves the consistency of the device's processing effect. like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting component includes an inner plate 18, a screw 21, a knob 23, and an L-shaped connecting rod 24. The inner plate 18 is fixedly connected to the support base 11. Rotation holes 19 are opened on the inner side wall of the inner plate 18 and the support base 11. Rotation rods 22 are fixedly connected to both ends of the screw 21, and the rotation rods 22 are rotatably connected to the rotation holes 19. The knob 23 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotation rod 22 at the end of the screw 21 away from the inner plate 18. A screw hole 25 is opened on the side wall of the vertical part of the L-shaped connecting rod 24, which is threaded to the screw 21. Several sliders 27 are fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped connecting rod 24 in a horizontal array, and the sliders 27 are slidably connected to the sliding opening 17 opened at the top of the support base 11. The movable plate 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 27 away from the L-shaped connecting rod 24. The knob 23 is easy to operate manually. The screw 21 and the screw hole 25 have a self-locking mechanism to ensure that the position of the movable plate 26 is stable after adjustment. The sliding cooperation between the slider 27 and the sliding port 17 ensures that the movable plate 26 moves smoothly and avoids jamming. By adjusting the position of the movable plate 26, the carrier gas storage bottle 12 can be stably clamped, which enhances the safety and stability of the carrier gas storage process. Furthermore, when the carrier gas in the carrier gas storage bottle 12 is used up, it can be disassembled and replaced in a timely manner; like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 11 in a horizontal array and is symmetrical with the movable plate 26. The opposite surfaces of the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 26 are fixedly connected with two arc-shaped clamps 28 in an up-down symmetrical state. The arc-shaped clamps 28 are adapted to the shape of the carrier gas storage bottle 12. Among them, the horizontally arrayed fixed plate 20 and movable plate 26 can clamp multiple carrier gas storage bottles 12 at the same time, improving space utilization; the symmetrical arc-shaped clamping plate 28 increases the contact area with the carrier gas storage bottle 12, making the clamping more stable and preventing the carrier gas storage bottle 12 from tipping over or shifting. At the same time, the arc-shaped design fits the shape of the bottle body, reducing the squeezing damage to the bottle body and further ensuring the safety of carrier gas storage and use.
[0021] The principle of this electroactive microbial water treatment activation device is as follows: Multiple carrier gas storage bottles 12 containing different carrier gases are placed on top of the support base 11, with the storage bottles 12 positioned between the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 26. A knob 23 located on one side of the support base 11 is rotated. The knob 23 drives a rotating rod 22 to rotate within a rotating hole 19 on one side of the support base 11 and the inner plate 18. The rotating rod 22 drives a screw 21 to rotate. An L-shaped connecting rod 24 moves horizontally along the screw 21 through a screw hole 25 on one side of the vertical portion. During this movement, the top of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped connecting rod 24... The installed slider 27 will slide within the sliding opening 17 at the top of the support base 11. At the same time, the slider 27 will drive the top movable plate 26 to move on the support base 11 and approach the fixed plate 20 installed on the top of the support base 11, which is symmetrically arranged therewith, until the carrier gas storage bottle 12 is clamped and fixed between a set of arc-shaped clamping plates 28 installed on the opposite surfaces of the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 26, so as to ensure the stability of the carrier gas storage bottle 12 during use. Then, the carrier gas storage bottle 12 can be connected to the gas collection pipe 14 through the valve 13. When the water to be treated enters the treatment tank 3 through the inlet 9 on one side of the treatment tank 3, a suitable carrier gas is selected from several carrier gas storage bottles 12 on the top of the support base 11 according to the actual water quality removal requirements. By opening the valve 13 connecting the corresponding carrier gas storage bottle 12 and the gas collection pipe 14, the carrier gas enters the gas collection pipe 14. This can achieve single carrier gas input or mixed input of multiple carrier gases. After the carrier gas is collected by the gas collection pipe 14, it is transported through the connecting pipe 15 to the carrier gas inlet 6 on the top of the outer side of the quartz glass tube 4 inside the treatment tank 3. During this process, the flow meter 16 installed on the connecting pipe 15 can accurately adjust the input flow rate of the carrier gas. After the carrier gas enters the quartz glass tube 4... Under the interaction of the high-voltage electric field generated by the metal conductive rod 5 after the quartz glass tube 4 is energized, the excited plasma gas is discharged from several discharge channels 7 opened on the quartz glass tube 4 into the water to be treated. After excitation, it generates a variety of physicochemical effects such as high-energy electron bombardment, ultraviolet photolysis, and strong oxidizing free radicals. These effects work together on the water in the treatment tank 3 to purify the corresponding harmful substances in the water. The gas generated during the treatment process is discharged from the exhaust port 8 at the top of the treatment tank 3. Finally, the treated water is discharged from the drain port 10 below the inlet 9. Thus, the device achieves the purpose of electroactive treatment of microorganisms in the water to be treated.
[0022] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, various improvements can be made to it without departing from the scope of the present utility model, and components can be replaced with equivalents or some technical features can be replaced with equivalents. All such improvements within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
