Description
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and specifically relates to an electrochemical nitrogen and phosphorus removal device and a method.


BACKGROUND

At present, various areas have increasingly strict sewage treatment and discharge standards, and water sources in sensitive areas have a prominent pollution problem, which are required to be treated urgently. According to traditional biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal methods, demands of biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal for carbon sources can be met simultaneously only when original sewage has a. biochemical oxygen demand 5/total nitrogen (BOD5/TN) value of greater than 4-6 and a biochemical oxygen demand 5/total phosphorus (BOD5/TP) value of greater than 20, and sewage having a chemical oxygen demand (COD) value of less than 200 mg/L and a chemical oxygen demand/total nitrogen (COD/TN) value of less than 8 is usually called low-carbon source sewage. As for high-ammonia nitrogen and low-carbon source domestic sewage with a high ammonia nitrogen content and an extremely low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes will have the problems of long retention time, high adding costs of agents such as carbon sources and alkaline agents, increase of sludge production and oxygen consumption and the like during applications, further increasing investment and operation costs and maintenance difficulty of decentralized sewage treatment projects. Therefore, the development of an economical and efficient synchronous nitrogen and phosphorus removal process for sewage treatment has a great application prospect for such low-carbon source decentralized domestic sewage.


Electrochemical oxidation methods have been widely concerned due to the advantages of small occupied area, increase of a biochemical oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand (B/C) value, sterilization and disinfection functions, less influence of temperature, simple operation, simplicity in control, no production of sludge, no addition of agents, little production of mud, direct oxidization of most of ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen and the like. Two-dimensional electro-oxidation achieves the purpose of removing ammonia nitrogen mainly by means of an indirect oxidation action of an anode, and has the disadvantages of low current efficiency and high energy consumption. In current studies, methods for reducing energy consumption by adding a chlorine salt cannot be converted into applications, while studies on three-dimensional electrodes have been gradually concerned at home and abroad. Compared with traditional two-dimensional electrodes, a three-dimensional electrode method has the advantages that due to the introduction of particle electrodes, an electrode surface area and a reaction rate are effectively increased, a higher reaction speed is obtained, a smaller occupied area is used, a lower energy efficiency ratio can be achieved without adding a salt, secondary pollution is avoided, the method can be used separately or in combination with other technologies, and standardization and productization are easy. At present, methods for optimizing a three-dimensional electro-catalytic oxidation technology mainly focus on the development of efficient particle electrodes, catalysts, electrode plates, reaction devices and the like, and pay little attention to optimization of operation control systems. However, the optimization of operation control systems by means of proper means to keep an electro-catalytic oxidation reaction in a high-efficiency section has higher operability in practical engineering applications. Therefore, the development of an economical and efficient pretreatment ammonia removal device for decentralized sewage and a method based on a three-dimensional electro-catalytic oxidation ammonia removal technology is of important practical significance.


As for an electro-biological coupling process, an electrochemical action and a biological action are combined. In an enhanced environment of an external electric field, the activity of a microbial enzyme system is enhanced with appropriate increase of the field intensity, an enzymatic reaction rate is increased, and convenience is provided for improving the ability of microorganisms to treat pollutants. A cell mitosis cycle is shortened, a proliferation rate is increased, and growth and reproduction rates of microorganisms in biological communities are increased. The permeability of cell membranes is improved, and the mass transfer of a matrix fluid is enhanced by an appropriate electric field intensity. H2 produced in an electrolytic process can also be used. by hydroautotrophic denitrifying bacteria to carry out a denitrification reaction. Meanwhile, organic carbon sources in systems can also be used as electron donors for heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria. Therefore, the process can save carbon sources during operation and is suitable for deep nitrogen removal of low C/N reclaimed water. A lot of studies have been conducted on theories and applications of electrode-biofilm reactors for sewage treatment at home and abroad. However, productization and engineering applications have not been achieved yet. Therefore, the development of an economical acid efficient decentralized sewage treatment device and a method based on a three-dimensional electro-biological coupling technology is of important practical significance.


Two-dimensional electro-flocculation has been gradually applied in the field of phosphorus removal of decentralized sewage, but still has the problems that the energy consumption is high, total phosphorus in effluent water cannot meet high discharge standards and the like. In contrast, three-dimensional electro-flocculation has the advantages of higher specific surface areas of electrodes, lower energy consumption, higher removal efficiency and the like. Therefore, the development of an economical and efficient phosphorus removal device for sewage treatment and a method based on a three-dimensional electro-flocculation technology is of important practical significance. Moreover, most of phosphorus in the biosphere flows unidirectionally, and phosphate rocks have extremely limited reserves. In China, the phosphate rocks having a low impurity content and high quality in phosphate rock reserves are expected to be completely mined in the next 10 to 15 years. Therefore, the development of a technology for recovering phosphorus resources from sewage is of important practical significance.


Therefore, based on current development conditions of the above technologies, it is urgent to propose a novel electrochemical nitrogen and phosphorus removal device and a method having a good application prospect.
