Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a water treatment device and a water treatment method capable of removing dissolved oxygen and the like from water. [Background technology]

[0002] A membrane degassing method using a degassing membrane is well known as a method for removing dissolved oxygen from water to be treated when the water is treated to produce pure water or the like. However, in the membrane degassing method, it is necessary to maintain a vacuum on the gas phase side opposite the water to be treated across the degassing membrane, and therefore a vacuum pump or the like is required. Therefore, a method has been put into practical use in which a reducing agent such as hydrogen or hydrazine is added to the water to be treated, the water is brought into contact with a deoxygenation catalyst carrying palladium or the like, and a reaction is caused to proceed to produce water from the dissolved oxygen and hydrogen (or hydrazine) to remove the dissolved oxygen. Patent Document 1 discloses an example of removing dissolved oxygen by contacting the water with a deoxygenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen. Patent Document 2 discloses a method using an electrolytic cell in which a cathode chamber and an anode chamber are partitioned by a solid polymer electrode membrane, in which the water to be treated is supplied to the cathode chamber while electrolysis is carried out, and the dissolved oxygen is reduced and removed by a cathode reaction in the cathode chamber, and the dissolved oxygen that could not be removed is brought into contact with a deoxygenation catalyst together with the hydrogen produced by electrolysis to remove the dissolved oxygen.

[0003] Incidentally, one of the devices for producing desalted water from water to be treated is an electrodeionization water production device (EDI (Electrodeionization) device). The EDI device is a device that combines electrophoresis and electrodialysis, and at least the desalting chamber is filled with an ion exchange resin. The EDI device has the advantage of eliminating the need for a treatment to regenerate the ion exchange resin with a chemical. Patent Document 3 discloses that the desalting chamber of the EDI device is filled with a mixture of anion exchange resin and cation exchange resin, and part of the anion exchange resin is made of a catalytic resin carrying copper or palladium, and hydrogen is added to the water to be treated that is supplied to the desalting chamber, thereby desalting the water to be treated in the desalting chamber and removing dissolved oxygen from the water to be treated. Since the cathode water discharged from the cathode chamber of the EDI device contains hydrogen, Patent Document 3 also discloses that the cathode water can be added to the water to be treated to serve as a hydrogen source. Patent Document 4 discloses that hydrogen peroxide in the water to be treated can be decomposed and removed by contacting the water with an anion exchange resin carrying platinum, palladium, or the like.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-96283 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-241569 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-272474 [Patent Document 4] JP 2007-185587 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The method disclosed in Patent Document 3 is a method that can remove dissolved oxygen from the water to be treated while desalination is being performed without requiring a vacuum pump, etc., but it requires a separate mechanism for adding hydrogen to the water to be treated. Even if cathode water is added to the water to be treated, a pump is required to pressurize the cathode water because the pressure at the outlet of the cathode chamber is generally lower than the pressure at the inlet of the desalination chamber.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a water treatment method and a water treatment device capable of removing dissolved oxygen and the like from water to be treated with a simple configuration. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present inventors have focused on the cathode chamber, which has not been effectively used for desalination treatment in conventional EDI devices (electrodeionized water production devices), and have found that dissolved oxygen in the water to be treated can be removed by reacting hydrogen generated by a cathode reaction in the cathode chamber with dissolved oxygen in the cathode chamber, thereby completing the present invention. In this case, since the purpose is to remove dissolved oxygen, a desalination chamber as an EDI device is not necessarily provided. Therefore, the water treatment method of the present invention is a water treatment method for removing at least dissolved oxygen contained in the water to be treated, and includes a step of applying a direct current between an anode provided in the anode chamber and a cathode provided in a cathode chamber filled with an ion exchanger, and a step of passing the water to be treated through the cathode chamber, and at least a part of the ion exchanger filled in the cathode chamber is an ion exchanger carrying a metal catalyst. In this water treatment method, the step of applying a direct current between the anode and the cathode and the step of passing the water to be treated through the cathode chamber may be performed simultaneously or separately.

[0008] The water treatment device of the present invention further comprises an anode chamber equipped with an anode, and a cathode chamber equipped with a cathode and filled with an ion exchanger to which the water to be treated is supplied, at least a portion of the ion exchanger filled in the cathode chamber is an ion exchanger supporting a metal catalyst, and a direct current is applied between the anode and the cathode.

[0009] In the present invention, the metal catalyst supported on the ion exchanger filled in the cathode chamber can be any catalyst that promotes the reaction of generating water from hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of such metal catalysts include iron, copper, manganese, palladium, platinum, etc. Among them, platinum group metal catalysts not only promote the reduction reaction of oxygen, but also have high catalytic activity for decomposing hydrogen peroxide, so they can be suitably used when hydrogen peroxide is contained in the water to be treated. The platinum group metal catalyst is a catalyst containing one or more metals selected from ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. The platinum group metal catalyst may contain any one of these metal elements alone or may be a combination of two or more of these. Among these, platinum, palladium, and platinum / palladium alloys have high catalytic activity and are suitably used as platinum group metal catalysts.

[0010] In the present invention, the cathode chamber is preferably partitioned by an ion exchange membrane on the anode chamber side. If partitioned by an ion exchange membrane, ions captured by the ion exchanger in the cathode chamber can be moved to the outside of the cathode chamber through the ion exchange membrane, and the ion exchanger in the cathode chamber is regenerated, so that the dissolved oxygen removal performance can be maintained for a long period of time. More specifically, it is preferable that the ion exchanger filled in the cathode chamber is an anion exchanger such as an anion exchange resin, and the ion exchange membrane partitioning the cathode chamber is an anion exchange membrane. With such a configuration, anions in the water to be treated, such as carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions, are adsorbed to the anion exchanger, and then the anion exchanger is regenerated by hydroxide ions generated by the electrolysis reaction of water proceeding at the cathode, and the liberated anions move to the outside of the cathode chamber through the anion exchange membrane. As a result, the water to be treated is desalination-treated with respect to anions such as carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions in the cathode chamber. That is, not only the removal of dissolved oxygen but also the decarbonation-treated water is performed in the cathode chamber.

[0011] When the above-mentioned dissolved oxygen removal process is performed in the cathode chamber of a general EDI device, this removal process proceeds independently of the desalination process in the desalination compartment of the EDI device. Therefore, the water treatment device of the present invention can be easily realized by using an existing EDI device and using an ion exchanger carrying a metal catalyst as the ion exchanger filled in the cathode chamber. In this case, water to be treated other than the water to be treated from which dissolved oxygen is to be removed can be passed through the desalination compartment of the EDI device. Alternatively, the water to be treated after the dissolved oxygen has been removed by passing through the cathode chamber can be passed through the desalination compartment to desalinate the water to be treated. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, by utilizing the cathode chamber in the EDI device, it becomes possible to remove dissolved oxygen and the like from the water to be treated with a simple configuration. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows the basic configuration of a water treatment device according to the present invention.

[0015] This water treatment device includes an anode chamber 21 in which an anode 11 is provided, a concentration chamber 24 separated from the anode chamber 21 by a cation exchange membrane 31, and a cathode chamber 25 in which a cathode 12 is provided and separated from the concentration chamber 24 by an anion exchange membrane 34. The anode chamber 21 is filled with a cation exchange resin (CER) which is a cation exchanger, and the concentration chamber 24 is filled with an anion exchange resin (AER) which is an anion exchanger. The cathode chamber 25 is filled with an ion exchanger carrying a metal catalyst on its surface. In this embodiment, the cathode chamber 25 is filled with a single bed of an anion exchange resin carrying palladium (Pd) on its surface. Water to be treated containing dissolved oxygen is supplied to the cathode chamber 25, and the water to be treated passes through the cathode chamber 25. Supply water is supplied to the concentration chamber 24, and the supply water that has passed through the concentration chamber 24 is supplied directly to the anode chamber 21. The feed water that has passed through the anode chamber 21 is discharged as wastewater from the anode chamber 21. The feed water is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, water obtained by removing turbid matter and oxidizing substances from city water, industrial water, groundwater, etc., and then treating the water with a reverse osmosis membrane device. In the following description, an anion exchange resin having palladium (Pd) supported on its surface is referred to as Pd-supported anion exchange resin (Pd AER).

[0016] In the water treatment device shown in FIG. 1, a direct current is applied between the anode 11 and the cathode 12, and water to be treated is supplied to the cathode chamber 25 while feed water is supplied to the concentration chamber 24. In the cathode chamber 25, the direct current causes a cathode reaction to proceed on the surface of the cathode 12, generating hydrogen. This hydrogen reacts with dissolved oxygen in the water to be treated on the surface of the Pd-supported anion exchange resin (Pd AER), generating water. The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water to be treated decreases by the amount of hydrogen that reacts with the hydrogen. Since the reaction rate of hydrogen and oxygen is high in the presence of palladium, which is a metal catalyst, if a sufficient amount of hydrogen is generated, treated water from which dissolved oxygen has been sufficiently removed is discharged from the cathode chamber 25. If hydrogen is present in the cathode chamber 25, dissolved oxygen is removed, so the application of a direct current between the anode 11 and the cathode 12 can be performed intermittently, taking into account the residence time of the water to be treated in the cathode chamber 25. Furthermore, while applying a direct current continuously or intermittently, the water to be treated may be passed through the cathode chamber 25 intermittently.

[0017] The Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is an anion exchanger, so it absorbs carbonate ions (CO3 2- ) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3 - ) are captured by the Pd-supported anion exchange resin. The cathode reaction at the cathode 12 produces hydroxide ions (OH - ), the anions captured by the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin (Pd AER) are released through ion exchange with hydroxide ions and move due to the electric field between the anode 11 and the cathode 12, passing through the anion exchange membrane 34 and moving to the concentration compartment 24. The anions that have moved to the concentration compartment 24 are carried by the flow of the supply water in the concentration compartment 24 and are discharged to the outside of the device via the anode chamber 21. That is, the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin as an anion exchanger is constantly regenerated like the ion exchanger in the desalting compartment of a general EDI device, and in the water treatment device of this embodiment, the cathode chamber 25 also performs desalination treatment on the anions.

[0018] Since the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin can also decompose hydrogen peroxide, the water treatment device of this embodiment can also remove hydrogen peroxide from the water to be treated. When the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin decomposes hydrogen peroxide, the decomposition products are hydrogen and oxygen. The generated oxygen reacts with hydrogen in the presence of the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin to become water, so the decomposition and removal of hydrogen peroxide does not increase the dissolved oxygen concentration. In the water treatment device shown in FIG. 1, the anode chamber 21 may also function as the concentration chamber 24. In this case, the cation exchange membrane 31 may be removed, and the anode chamber 21 and the concentration chamber 24 may be integrated into one structure.

[0019] FIG. 2 shows a water treatment device according to another embodiment. The water treatment device shown in FIG. 2 is similar to the water treatment device shown in FIG. 1, but is different from the water treatment device shown in FIG. 1 in that the cathode chamber 25 has a double-bed structure and the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is provided only on the downstream side of the flow in the cathode chamber 25. The upstream side of the flow in the cathode chamber 25 is filled with anion exchange resin (AER) that does not support a metal catalyst. The cathode reaction in the cathode chamber 25 proceeds over the entire surface of the cathode 12, and the reaction rate between hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is sufficiently high, so that even if the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is placed only on the outlet side of the cathode chamber 25, the dissolved oxygen in the water to be treated can be sufficiently removed. In the configuration shown in FIG. 2, the amount of expensive palladium catalyst used can be reduced, thereby reducing costs. In order to reduce the amount of Pd-loaded anion exchange resin used, it is possible to pack the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin in a mixed (mixed bed) form with other anion exchange resins or cation exchange resins in the cathode chamber 25, but in order to improve the efficiency of hydrogen utilization, it is preferable that the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is packed in a single bed form in at least a part of the cathode chamber 25. That is, when the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is packed in the cathode chamber 25, it is preferable to pack it in a single bed form or a multiple bed form.

[0020] The water treatment device shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 has a configuration in which the deionization compartment is removed from a general EDI device, but the water treatment device according to the present invention has a deionization compartment and has the same configuration as a general EDI device, and it is possible to perform deionization processing in the deionization compartment and removal processing of dissolved oxygen in the cathode compartment. Fig. 3 shows a water treatment device according to the present invention configured as an EDI device. The water treatment device shown in Fig. 3 is the same as the water treatment device shown in Fig. 1, except that a concentration compartment 22 and a deionization compartment 23 are provided in this order from the anode chamber 21 side between the anode chamber 21 and the concentration compartment 24. The anode chamber 21 and the concentration compartment 22 are separated by a cation exchange membrane 31, the concentration compartment 22 and the deionization compartment 23 are separated by an anion exchange membrane 32, and the deionization compartment 23 and the concentration compartment 24 are separated by a cation exchange membrane 33. The concentration chamber 22 is filled with anion exchange resin (AER), and the deionization chamber 23 is filled with a mixed bed (MB) of cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin. Water to be treated other than the water to be treated from which dissolved oxygen is to be removed is supplied to the deionization chamber 23. Feed water is supplied to the anode chamber 21 and the concentration chambers 22 and 24, and electrode water is discharged from the anode chamber 21, and concentrated water is discharged from the concentration chambers 22 and 24.

[0021] In the water treatment device shown in Fig. 3, by applying a direct current between the anode 11 and the cathode 12, the water to be treated is desalted in the desalting compartment 23 in the same manner as in the desalting compartment of a general EDI device, and the desalted water is discharged from the desalting compartment 23. Meanwhile, in the cathode compartment 25, a process for removing dissolved oxygen contained in the water to be treated is carried out in the same manner as in the water treatment device shown in Fig. 1, and the treated water from which the dissolved oxygen has been removed is discharged from the cathode compartment 25. At this time, as described above, hydrogen peroxide contained in the water to be treated is also removed.

[0022] Fig. 4 shows another example of a water treatment device configured as an EDI device. The water treatment device shown in Fig. 4 is configured to supply treated water discharged from cathode chamber 25 of the water treatment device shown in Fig. 3 directly to desalting chamber 23. Therefore, according to the water treatment device shown in Fig. 4, it is possible to obtain desalted water from which dissolved oxygen and hydrogen peroxide have been removed.

[0023] In general, in an EDI device, a plurality of deionization compartments can be arranged between the anode and the cathode. In the water treatment device shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 configured as an EDI device, a repeating unit is composed of an anion exchange membrane 32, a deionization compartment 23, a cation exchange membrane 33, and a concentration compartment 24, and a plurality of repeating units are arranged between the anion exchange membrane 34 that divides the concentration compartment 22 adjacent to the anode chamber 21 and the cathode chamber 25, so that a plurality of deionization compartments 23 can be arranged between the anode 11 and the cathode 12. The water treatment device shown in Fig. 5 is the water treatment device shown in Fig. 4 in which a plurality of deionization compartments 23 are arranged, and the treated water discharged from the cathode chamber 25 is distributed in parallel to the plurality of deionization compartments 23 and passed through them. Deionized water from which dissolved oxygen has been removed and which has been desalted is discharged from each deionization compartment 23.

[0024] The water treatment device according to the present invention has been described above, and this water treatment device can be incorporated into a water treatment system that produces pure water or ultrapure water. The water treatment system that produces pure water or ultrapure water is composed of, for example, an activated carbon device (AC), a reverse osmosis membrane device (RO), an ultraviolet irradiation device (UV), an ion exchange resin device (IER), a membrane degassing device (MD), an EDI device, a non-regenerative ion exchange device (CP), various filters, and the like. The water treatment device according to the present invention can remove dissolved oxygen, remove hydrogen peroxide, and perform desalination treatment, and therefore can be used to replace one or more of the membrane degassing device, the ion exchange resin device, the EDI device, and the non-regenerative ion exchange device, or can be installed in the front or rear of the membrane degassing device, the ion exchange resin device, the EDI device, and the non-regenerative ion exchange device to improve the performance of removing impurity components. FIG. 6 shows an example of a water treatment system incorporating the water treatment device according to the present invention.

[0025] The water treatment system shown in FIG. 6 is a system for producing ultrapure water from raw water such as city water, and is composed of a primary pure water system for producing primary pure water from raw water, and a subsystem for producing ultrapure water from the primary pure water. In the figure, reference numeral 100 denotes any of the water treatment devices described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. In the primary pure water system, a raw water tank 41, a first reverse osmosis membrane device 51, a second reverse osmosis membrane device 52, a reverse osmosis membrane treated water tank 42, an ultraviolet irradiator (UV) 55, and a water treatment device 100 are arranged in this order, and the raw water is treated in this order, resulting in the production of primary pure water. If the water treatment device 100 based on the present invention is not used, an ion exchange resin device, an EDI device, a non-regenerative ion exchange device, and a membrane degassing device are provided instead of the water treatment device 100. In the primary pure water system, when the downstream equipment to which the pure water is supplied is full, the produced primary pure water is circulated to the reverse osmosis membrane treated water tank 42.

[0026] The subsystem is provided with a pure water tank 45 for storing primary pure water from the primary pure water system, and an ultraviolet ray irradiation device (UV) 61, a non-regenerative ion exchange device (CP) 63, a membrane degassing device (MD) 65, and an ultrafiltration membrane (UF) 67 are arranged in this order at the outlet of the pure water tank 45, and the primary pure water is treated in this order to produce ultrapure water. A part of the produced ultrapure water is circulated to the pure water tank 45. A microfiltration membrane may be used instead of the ultrafiltration membrane (UF) 67. Also, in the subsystem, instead of the non-regenerative ion exchange device 63 and the membrane degassing device 65, a water treatment device based on the present invention may be provided, or may be provided before or after the non-regenerative ion exchange device 63 and the membrane degassing device 65. When a membrane degassing device is provided in both a primary pure water system and a subsystem, the overall dissolved oxygen removal rate may be increased by providing multiple membrane degassing devices in series. When multiple membrane degassing devices are provided in series in this manner, some of the membrane degassing devices can be replaced with water treatment devices based on the present invention.

[0027] FIG. 7 shows another example of a water treatment system incorporating a water treatment device according to the present invention. In the water treatment system shown in FIG. 7, the water treatment device 100 is located in front of the ultraviolet irradiation device 55 of the primary pure water system, and a treatment device (IER / EDI) 56, which is an ion exchange resin device or an EDI device, is arranged in the rear of the ultraviolet irradiation device 55 in the water treatment system shown in FIG. 6. Water in the reverse osmosis membrane treated water tank 42 passes through the water treatment device 100 based on the present invention, the ultraviolet irradiation device 55, and the treatment device 56 in that order, and primary pure water is discharged from the treatment device 56, which is an ion exchange resin device or an EDI device. When the ultraviolet irradiation device 55 irradiates ultraviolet light to the water to be treated to decompose and remove total organic carbon (TOC) components, it is known that the removal rate of TOC decreases when the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water to be treated is high. Therefore, in the water treatment system shown in FIG. 6, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the inlet water of the ultraviolet irradiation device 55 can be reduced, and the TOC removal rate in the ultraviolet irradiation device can be increased when the dissolved oxygen concentration in the raw water is high.

[0028] Fig. 8 shows yet another example of a water treatment system incorporating a water treatment device according to the present invention. The water treatment system shown in Fig. 8 is the water treatment system shown in Fig. 6, in which a water treatment device 100 according to the present invention is also arranged between the outlet of the ultraviolet irradiation device 61 and the inlet of the non-regenerative ion exchange device 63 in the subsystem. When organic matter in water is decomposed and removed by ultraviolet irradiation, carbonate ions, bicarbonate ions, etc. are generated, but the water treatment device 100 can also remove carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions. Therefore, by arranging the water treatment device 100 in the subsystem as shown in Fig. 8, the processing load on the non-regenerative ion exchange device 63 in the downstream stage can be reduced and the impurity removal performance can be improved. EXAMPLES

[0029] Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples.

[0030] [Example 1] The water treatment device shown in FIG. 1 was assembled. The dimensions of the anode chamber 21, the concentration chamber 24, and the cathode chamber 25 were all 105 mm×105 mm×9.5 mm. Water with a dissolved oxygen concentration of 8.2 mg / L was prepared, and this water was passed through the cathode chamber 25 at 50 L / h as the water to be treated, and through the concentration chamber 24 at 5 L / h as the feed water. The water treatment device was operated by changing the value of the current flowing between the anode 11 and the cathode 12 in the range of 0.5 A to 2.5 A, and the dissolved oxygen concentration of the treated water discharged from the cathode chamber 25 was measured to obtain the dissolved oxygen removal rate. The results are shown in FIG. 9. From FIG. 9, it was found that there was a correlation between the current value and the dissolved oxygen removal rate, and that the dissolved oxygen removal rate could be improved by increasing the current density. This means that the hydrogen generated in the cathode chamber 25 was effectively used to remove dissolved oxygen.

[0031] [Example 2] The same experiment as in Example 1 was carried out using the same device as in Example 1, adding hydrogen peroxide to the water to be treated, and setting the current during operation to 1.5 A. The hydrogen peroxide concentration in the treated water was measured to determine the hydrogen peroxide removal rate. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0032] [Table 1]

[0033] From the results in Table 2, it is understood that hydrogen peroxide can also be removed when the Pd-loaded anion exchange resin is filled in the cathode chamber 25. The dissolved oxygen removal rate at this time was actually measured to be about 27%, which was approximately the same value as the dissolved oxygen removal rate in Example 1.
