The invention provides a method for recovering
nitrogen and
phosphorus in
wastewater through self-driven bipolar membrane
electrodialysis. A
system used in the method takes a
magnesium negative
electrode as a positive
electrode and an air
electrode as a positive electrode, and a self-driven
primary battery is formed through wire connection; and
ion exchange membranes with specific sequences are sequentially arranged between the two electrodes to form eight chambers, namely an
anode chamber, a
nitrogen and
phosphorus recovery chamber, a
wastewater chamber, a
metal ion chamber, an
ammonia water chamber, a
hydrochloric acid chamber, a buffer chamber and a
cathode chamber. During operation, an external power supply is not needed, and
ion migration is driven by a self-generated
electric field: after Mg < 2 + > and PO4 < 3-> are enriched in the
nitrogen and
phosphorus recovery chamber and NH4 < + > and Ca < 2 + > migrate to the
metal ion chamber, NH4 < + > enters the
ammonia water chamber through the monovalent cation exchange membrane, and Ca < 2 + > is separated out and reacts with OH <-> generated by the bipolar membrane to generate Ca (OH) 2 precipitate, so that membrane blockage is effectively prevented, and finally, NH4 < + >, Mg < 2 + > and PO4 < 3-> react to generate high-purity
struvite. Zero
energy consumption of nitrogen and phosphorus
recovery of the
wastewater is achieved, no additional chemicals exist, anti-blocking operation is achieved, and both environmental benefits and resource benefits are achieved.
