Description

Electrochemical treatment system and application thereof in phosphorus recovery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to an electrochemical treatment system and application thereof in phosphorus recovery.
Background
The worldwide contradiction that the phosphorite resources are increasingly deficient but the phosphorus content in the environmental water body is overhigh to cause the eutrophication of the water body generally exists. The phosphorus in the sewage is removed and recovered, and the sustainable utilization of the phosphorus and the prevention and control of water eutrophication can be integrated.
In recent years, electrochemical treatment technology has attracted considerable attention as a new technology in the fields of water treatment and resource recovery. Through verification, the high-efficiency recovery of phosphorus resources from various sewage can be realized through electrochemical induced precipitation, capacitive deionization, electrodialysis and other technologies. Among them, the electrochemical induced calcium phosphate precipitation technology has been receiving wide attention and rapidly developed depending on its various advantages. In addition to the additional cost and pollution caused by the transportation and use of the medicament, a large amount of chemical sludge generated in the sedimentation process is difficult to treat. In contrast, the electrochemical induced precipitation effectively avoids transportation cost and secondary pollution by utilizing the in-situ alkali production characteristic, and the generated solid product is closely attached to the electrode in the form of phosphate solid, thereby greatly facilitating subsequent recycling. In addition, because calcium ions are widely present in various types of wastewater, the selection of calcium phosphate as the target product can effectively avoid, for example, the limitation of magnesium source in the struvite recovery process.
In the electrochemical induced calcium phosphate deposition technology, water molecules are reduced on the surface of a cathode, and generated hydroxyl can form a local high-pH environment on the surface of the cathode to increase the saturation index of calcium phosphate in the local area, so that the calcium phosphate is induced to be deposited on the surface of an electrode in a heterogeneous mode. Of course, the electrochemically induced calcium phosphate deposition technique is not perfect, and the difficulties remain. Based on the principle of this technology, it is a key to efficiently utilize the hydroxyl generated by the cathode. In the current membrane-free integrated system, part of hydroxide radicals can be combined with hydrogen ions generated by an anode to regenerate water molecules, so that partial loss of the hydroxide radicals is caused. Although this difficulty can be addressed by the introduction of ion exchange membranes, the introduction of redundant plant components and the attendant maintenance costs are undoubtedly a barrier to their large-scale practical use.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the following detailed description. It should be understood that the description is intended to be exemplary only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present invention. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an electrochemical processing system comprising: a reaction tank; an anode disposed in the reaction tank, the vicinity of the anode being filled with a filler; a cathode disposed in the reaction tank, the cathode generating a first precipitate; a barrier that blocks the first precipitate from a region other than the filler material; and the anode of the power supply is electrically connected with the anode, and the cathode of the power supply is electrically connected with the cathode.
In the electrochemical treatment system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the filling material filled in the anode reacts with the hydrogen ions generated by the anode, so that the loss of hydroxyl is effectively avoided, a local high pH environment is formed on the surface of the cathode, the saturation index of the first precipitate is increased, the recovery efficiency of the first precipitate is improved, and the required hydraulic retention time is shortened; simultaneously, the barrier piece separates the first sediment that the negative pole produced in the region outside filler material, can keep apart first sediment and filler material effectively, has avoided first sediment to adhere to the filler material surface, is favorable to the recovery of first sediment to recycle.
The anode material is a material which can enable water molecules to be oxidized by the anode to generate hydrogen ions; for example, inert metals and carbon materials, even modified materials, etc. commonly used in the art, which can meet the requirement of anodizing water molecules to generate hydrogen ions, are within the scope of the present invention.
The cathode material is a material which can enable the cathode to reduce water molecules to generate hydroxide ions; for example, the metal and carbon materials, even modified materials, etc. which are commonly used in the art can meet the requirement of the cathode for reducing water molecules to generate hydroxide ions, and all the requirements are within the protection scope of the present invention.
The filling material can be any natural material (such as calcite, dolomite, magnesite and the like) and artificial product (such as polyethylene calcium carbonate master batch, artificial pressed analytical pure particles and the like) which can react with hydrogen ions and release corresponding metal cations and anions; in some preferred embodiments, the filler material is calcite particles.
In the electrochemical processing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the circuit is closed, the oxidation reaction of water molecules occurs on the surface of the anode, and hydrogen ions and oxygen gas are generated (see formula 1). Wherein a part of the hydrogen ions generated is neutralized by the packing material, which is acid-hydrolyzed and releases corresponding cations and anions. For example, when calcite particles are selected as the filler material, a portion of the generated hydrogen ions are neutralized by the calcite particles (see equation 2), so that the depletion of hydroxide ions is mitigated, the concentration of hydroxide ions in the region outside the anode is increased, the saturation index of the precipitation product is increased, and the efficiency of electrochemically induced precipitation is increased. Also, since the acidolysis of calcite particles by hydrogen ions results in the release of calcium ions, another advantage of using calcite as a filler material is the provision of the metal cations necessary for precipitation, increasing the saturation index of the precipitated product calcium phosphate from another perspective, and thus increasing efficiency.

when the circuit is closed, water molecules are reduced on the surface of the cathode to generate hydroxide ions and hydrogen (see formula 3). In the conventional electrochemically-induced calcium phosphate precipitation system (i.e., without using a filler), a part of the generated hydroxide ions is consumed by hydrogen ions from the anode (see formula 4), so that the utilization rate of the hydroxide ions is reduced, and finally the calcium phosphate precipitation efficiency is reduced. In the embodiment of the invention, the filling material and the barrier member can effectively inhibit the hydrogen ions and the hydroxyl ions from re-reacting (see formula 4), thereby improving the utilization rate of the hydroxyl ions.
More importantly, due to the introduction of the packing material and the barrier, two distinct regions, a lower pH anode region and a higher pH cathode and wastewater region, are present in the electrochemical system of embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the first precipitate is induced to precipitate to form a compact solid at a region outside the packing material, that is, on the cathode and is attached thereto, and high-purity recovery of the first precipitate is achieved.
It should be noted that the structure of the separator may be various, and any structure capable of limiting the electrochemically induced precipitation of the cathode to the region outside the anode filler material should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In some preferred embodiments, the barrier is the anode; specifically, the anode is cylindrical and is used for filling the filling material, the side surface and one end surface of the cylinder are both made of net-shaped materials, and the other end surface is provided with an opening and a first conducting rod; the maximum pore size of the reticular structure is smaller than the minimum size of the filling material so as to ensure the filling effect; meanwhile, the cathode is cylindrical and concentrically arranged outside the anode, the side surface of the cylinder is made of a net-shaped material, two end surfaces of the cylinder are both open, and one end surface of the cylinder is provided with a second conducting rod.
In the above preferred embodiment, the cylindrical anode is placed in the space formed by the cathode, and is relatively independent in the inner and outer concentric circles, and both are fixed in the reaction tank with proper size, and the required direct current is supplied to the system through the first and second conductive rods by the external direct current power supply, and forms a closed loop together with the electrolyte.
In other preferred embodiments, the barrier is the anode; specifically, the anode is in a plane net shape, is provided with a third conducting rod, is fixed in a reaction tank with a proper size, and forms an independent subspace with the wall shape of the reaction tank, and the subspace is used for filling the filling material; the maximum pore size of the reticular structure is smaller than the minimum size of the filling material so as to ensure the filling effect; meanwhile, the cathode is in the same structure as the anode, and a fourth conducting rod is arranged on the cathode and is arranged on the opposite side of the anode.
In the above preferred embodiment, the planar mesh anode and the wall of the reaction tank form a subspace, which is located in the mother space of the reaction tank, the planar mesh cathode is disposed at the opposite side, and the required dc current is supplied to the system by the external dc power supply through the third conducting rod and the fourth conducting rod, and forms a closed loop together with the electrolyte.
In a second embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for recovering phosphorus using an electrochemical processing system, which is a specific application of the electrochemical processing system of the first embodiment, and specifically comprises: providing a reaction tank; providing an anode positioned in the reaction tank, and filling a filling material near the anode; providing a cathode positioned in the reaction tank; the phosphorus-containing wastewater is added into the reaction tank, and the phosphorus precipitation is limited in the space outside the anode filling material.
In a second embodiment of the present invention, the electrochemical treatment system of the first embodiment is used to recover phosphorus from phosphorus-containing wastewater. The characteristics of the relevant anode, cathode, and filler material are the same as those of the first embodiment. Under the condition that the circuit of the electrochemical treatment system is closed, the surface of the anode can generate oxidation reaction of water molecules to generate hydrogen ions and oxygen; a portion of the generated hydrogen ions will be neutralized by the filler material, such that hydroxide ion depletion is mitigated, and the concentration of hydroxide ions in the region outside the anode is increased, thereby increasing the saturation index of the precipitated product calcium phosphate, and ultimately increasing the efficiency of electrochemically-induced calcium phosphate precipitation. Meanwhile, calcium ions are released due to the acidolysis of calcium carbonate solids by hydrogen ions. Thus, another advantage of using calcite particles as a filler material is to provide the metal cations necessary for precipitation, and from another perspective to increase the saturation index of the precipitated product calcium phosphate, and thus the efficiency. In the second embodiment of the invention, the electrochemically induced precipitation is limited to the region outside the anode filling material, so that the re-reaction of the hydrogen ions and the hydroxyl ions is effectively inhibited, the utilization rate of the hydroxyl ions is improved, and the separation of high-purity products from the filling material is realized.
The electrochemical treatment system can treat phosphorus-containing sewage with various concentrations, and the principle of the system lies in that a filling material filled in the anode reacts with hydrogen ions generated by the anode, so that the loss of hydroxyl is effectively avoided, a local high pH environment is formed on the surface of the cathode, the saturation index of the first precipitate is increased, the recovery efficiency of the first precipitate is improved, the required hydraulic retention time is shortened, the less the filling material is, and the less the optimization effect is. In the recycling treatment process, the phosphorus content of the target wastewater is reduced to a certain degree, and the removal degree of the phosphorus depends on the system operation condition, so that the removal of the eutrophic components in the wastewater is realized, and the purpose of preventing and treating the eutrophication of the water body is achieved.
In some embodiments, a barrier is used to confine the phosphorus precipitation to the space outside the anode fill material, and the structure and material of the barrier are the same as in the first embodiment.
The phosphorus-containing wastewater can be municipal sewage, anaerobic digestion solution, industrial wastewater and other phosphorus-containing wastewater; phosphorus-rich sludge and other phosphorus-containing wastes that can participate in the formation of a complete electrochemical system should also fall within the scope of the present invention.
In order to better understand the technical scheme provided by the invention, the electrochemical treatment system, the phosphorus recovery method and the performance test provided by the above embodiment of the invention are respectively explained in the following by using a plurality of specific examples.

Using the electrochemical treatment system of example 1, 80 g of calcite granules were packed into a mesh anode and co-anchored with a cathodeIn the electrolytic cell, 10mM Na was selected2SO41mM P solution as a model wastewater was treated for 8 hours under the condition that an external power source (applied current value of 20 mA) was supplied.
Example 4
Using the electrochemical treatment system of example 2, 80 g of calcium polyethylene carbonate master batch was filled into the anode of the mesh bag, and fixed together with the cathode in the electrolytic cell, 10mM Na was selected2SO4And various concentrations of solutions P (1 mM, 2mM, 3 mM) as simulated wastewater were treated for 8 hours under the condition that an external power source (applied current value of 40 mA) was supplied.
Experimental example 1 testing pH variation and calcium ion release during treatment under different conditions
The following experimental groups were set up:
experimental group 1: example 3
Experimental group 2: compared with the electrochemical treatment system in the embodiment 3, the electrochemical treatment system is not provided with the filling material, and the rest of the structure is the same as the embodiment 3. Fixing the anode and cathode of the net bag without filler in the electrolytic cell, selecting 10mM Na2SO4And 1mM P solution is used as simulated wastewater, and CaCl is added into calcium ions at the moment2The dosage is 30 mg/L. The treatment was carried out for 8 hours under the condition that an external power source (applied current value of 20 mA) was supplied.
Experimental group 3: using the electrochemical treatment system of example 1, 80 g calcite granules were packed into a mesh anode and co-immobilized with a cathode in an electrolytic cell, 10mM Na was selected2SO40mM P solution as a model wastewater, and treated for 8 hours under the condition of supplying an external power source (applied current value of 20 mA).
From the results of experimental group 3, it was found that a part of the hydrogen ions were neutralized by the calcite particles, so that the depletion of the hydroxide ions was relieved and the hydroxide ion concentration in the region other than the anode was increased (fig. 7). At the same time, calcite granules were acidolyzed by hydrogen ions, with a consequent increase in the calcium ion concentration in the simulated wastewater (fig. 8).
Comparing the results of experimental group 1 and experimental group 2, it can be seen that the presence of calcite particles effectively neutralized the hydrogen ions generated at the anode, so that the accumulation of hydroxide ions in the simulated wastewater of experimental group 1 exceeded the accumulation of hydrogen ions, showing a gradual rise in pH in the simulated wastewater (fig. 9). In contrast, in experimental group 2, since there was no neutralization of the calcite particles, the accumulation of hydrogen ions exceeded the accumulation of hydroxide ions (part of the hydroxide ions were used for the precipitation reaction of calcium phosphate), and the pH in the simulated wastewater showed a downward trend (fig. 9). Therefore, the consumption of hydroxide ions is relieved by filling calcite particles, the concentration of hydroxide ions in the region outside the anode is increased, the saturation index of the calcium phosphate precipitation product is increased, and finally, the efficiency of electrochemically inducing calcium phosphate precipitation is improved, which meets the comparison result of phosphorus removal efficiency of experiment group 1 and experiment group 2 (fig. 10).
Through the results of the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 3, the two distinct regions, namely the anode region with lower pH value and the cathode region with higher pH value and the wastewater region, appear in the electrochemical system due to the introduction of the string bag anode and the calcite particles therein. The calcium phosphate is thus induced to precipitate in the region outside the calcite particles, i.e. on the cathode, to form a compact high-purity calcium phosphate solid.
Experimental example 2 for explaining the phosphorus recovery
Calcite particles (used for multiple times) filled in experimental group 1 of experimental example 1 and cathode surface-generated products were collected for scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy spectroscopy. The results are shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
By elemental characterization of the surface portion of calcite particles (after many cycles) (fig. 11), it can be seen that the phosphorus content on the surface of the calcite particles is only 0.58%, demonstrating that calcium phosphate precipitates are hardly precipitated on the surface of the calcite particles. As shown by the elemental characterization of the product formed on the electrode surface (fig. 12), the product was in the form of a cluster and had a calcium-phosphorus ratio close to 1.7, and it was estimated that the product was a high-purity calcium phosphate crystal. Therefore, the product is not mixed with the filling material and is attached to the cathode in the form of high-purity calcium phosphate to be collected, and the problem that the product is difficult to recover due to the fact that the filling material is mixed with the product in the traditional electrochemical packed column process is solved.
Experimental example 3 for explaining the effect of treating wastewater of different concentrations
Using the electrochemical treatment system of example 1, 80 g of calcium polyvinylacetate master batch was filled in a mesh bag anode, fixed in an electrolytic cell together with a cathode, and phosphorus solutions (1 mM, 2mM, 3 mM) of various concentrations were selected as simulated wastewater to be treated for 8 hours under the condition of supplying an external power source (applied current value of 40 mA). As is clear from the results of the experiment (FIG. 13), the phosphorus removal rate (phosphorus) was maintained for 8 hours in the case of treating the wastewater having a phosphorus concentration of 3mMRemoving ofPhosphorusInitial100%) was 12.9%, and the removal ratio was 25.5% and 54.4% when treating wastewater with lower phosphorus concentration (2 mM, 1 mM), respectively. As can be seen from the results (FIG. 14), the phosphorus removal rate (mg phosphorus/day) did not change significantly when the phosphorus concentration in the wastewater was reduced from 3mM to 1 mM. Therefore, the electrochemical system has stable rate when treating phosphorus with various concentrations, and simultaneously solves the problem of low rate of the traditional electrochemical phosphoric acid induction process aiming at sewage with low phosphorus concentration.
