This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202110603509.5 filed on May 31, 2021, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and more specifically, to an electrocatalytic degradation device for organic wastewater.
Industrial wastewater contains not only high concentration of salts, but also high concentration of organic matter. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is often used as an index to measure the content of organic matter in water. The COD refers to the amount of oxidant consumed when a certain strong oxidant is used to treat a water sample under certain conditions. It is an indicator of the amount of reducing substances in the water.
Electrocatalytic oxidation technology uses electrochemical methods to continuously produce hydroxyl radicals with high activity, so that organic matter can be degraded and mineralized. Its reaction conditions are mild, the process is easy to control, and there is no secondary pollution. It has incomparable advantages over other water treatment technologies. In the traditional electrocatalytic oxidation reaction device, the anode plate does not use a catalyst or the effect of the catalyst is poor, resulting in a low hydroxyl generation rate. The carrier area of the catalyst filler used is small, and the catalysts in the carrier filler are different, or there is no catalyst, which has the disadvantages of low hydroxyl generation rate, small interaction area between hydroxyl and organic matter, poor reaction effect and low hydroxyl utilization rate, resulting in low efficiency of COD degradation and high energy consumption. And the generated hydrogen is not effectively recycled.
Therefore, how to provide an electrocatalytic degradation device for organic wastewater is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art.
The disclosure provides an electrocatalytic degradation device for organic wastewater, which aims to solve the above technical problems in the prior art to a certain extent.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the disclosure adopts the following technical scheme.
An electrocatalytic degradation device for organic wastewater includes an electrocatalytic oxidation reactor, a spray tower and a drying tower. The electrocatalytic oxidation reactor includes a box body, a water inlet pipe at a lower end of the box body, a water outlet pipe at an upper end of the box body, a hydroxyl generator and a catalyst filler. The catalyst filler is arranged in the hydroxyl generator. The electrocatalytic oxidation reactor is provided with a gas gathering device. The gas gathering device is connected with the spray tower. And an upper gas outlet of the spray tower is connected with the drying tower.
According to the above technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the disclosure combines the electrooxidation reaction with the catalytic reaction to improve the electrooxidation efficiency of the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor and efficiently degrade the high salt high organic wastewater. And the decomposed by-products are effectively utilized. The generated hydrogen is collected by the gas gathering device and enters the spray tower, and the CO2 gas is absorbed after treatment. The CO2-removed gas passes through the drying tower to absorb moisture to obtain pure hydrogen.
Further, upper and lower ends in the box body are respectively provided with a water distributor connected with the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, which solves the problem of unqualified effluent caused by uneven water distribution in the previous electrocatalytic oxidation reactor.
Further, the hydroxyl generator is composed of multiple sets of electrode plates. The multiple sets of electrode plates are evenly distributed in an interior of the box body. Each set of the electrode plates includes an anode plate and a cathode plate arranged oppositely. The anode plate is connected with a positive pole of an DC power supply, and the cathode plate is connected with a negative pole of the DC power supply. A noble metal catalyst is arranged on a surface of the anode plate. The noble metal catalyst is determined according to different water quality, and the noble metals such as ruthenium, iridium and platinum are used. The catalyst filler is filled between the cathode plate and the anode plate, the catalyst filler is loose porous structure particles, and a catalyst is loaded therein. The synergy of the dual catalysts is used to improve the electrooxidation efficiency of the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor, so that the high salt high organic wastewater is degraded and the wastewater treatment efficiency is improved.
Further, the multiple sets of electrode plates are connected in parallel, and a distance between the cathode plate and the anode plate is equal, which is 20-50 mm. And the distance between the cathode plate and the anode plate depends on different water quality.
Further, the catalyst uses manganese dioxide, ferromanganese and alumina, which depends on different water quality.
Further, a discharge valve is provided at a bottom of the box body. It is convenient to discharge when the valve is opened to replace the catalyst filler, or it is used to empty the wastewater in the box body of the reactor.
Further, the electrocatalytic degradation device includes an organic wastewater tank connected with the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor. The high salt high organic wastewater tank inputs the high salt high organic wastewater into the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor through a wastewater pump box.
Further, the spray tower includes a tower body and a circulating tank. The circulating tank is arranged at a bottom of the tower body. The circulating tank is provided with a CO2 absorption solution. A top of the tower body is provided with a gas outlet, and a lower part of the tower body is provided with a gas inlet. The gas inlet is connected with the gas gathering device. A spray pipe is arranged in the tower body and the spray pipe is provided with an atomizing nozzle. The spray pipe is connected with the circulating tank through a circulating pipe, and a circulating pump is arranged on the circulating pipe.
Further, the gas outlet is connected with the drying tower through pipelines.
Further, the CO2 absorption solution in the spray tower is a calcium hydroxide solution, and a desiccant in the drying tower is a quicklime.
