Description

Photocatalytic microbial fuel cell treatment assembly for underground water circulation well
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy conservation and environmental protection, in particular to the technical field of photocatalytic microbial fuel cells for water pollution treatment, and specifically relates to a photocatalytic microbial fuel cell treatment assembly for an underground water circulation well.
Background
Groundwater has the characteristics of low temperature, oxygen deficiency, no illumination and the like, and is limited to be applied to the field of groundwater pollution treatment by conventional sewage treatment technologies, so that an efficient treatment technology capable of overcoming the limiting factors is urgently needed to treat pollutants in groundwater.
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are a new type of bioelectrochemical device that can directly convert chemical energy retained in organic matter into electrical energy by microbial catabolism, wherein electrons are continuously generated by exogenous electrons in an anode and then consumed by an electron acceptor. MFCs offer an efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly way in wastewater treatment and the paradigm of using MFCs to remove groundwater has emerged, however, the power output of MFCs is still well below theoretical today, limiting their practical use.
Photocatalysts (photo-catalyst) are a class of semiconductor materials that lack continuous regions between energy bands and have a certain forbidden band width. When the photocatalyst is irradiated with light having an energy equal to or greater than the forbidden band width of the semiconductor, electrons transit from the Valence Band (VB) to the Conduction Band (CB), generating hole-electron pairs. Under the action of potential field, both photo-generated holes and photo-generated electrons can migrate to the catalyst surface. Holes have extremely strong oxidizing properties and are excellent electron acceptors. Electrons have extremely strong reducibility and are excellent electron donors, but for complex pollutants, simple photocatalysis technology has limitations. The key point of the photocatalysis reaction is illumination, and under the practical environment, illumination in groundwater is less, so that the photocatalysis technology is limited to a certain extent.
The photocatalysis process of the organic matters can convert organic macromolecules difficult to degrade into organic micromolecules easy to degrade, and microorganisms in the MFC are easy to decompose the organic micromolecules. Thus, there is a possibility that the photocatalytic oxidation process is linked to the microbial oxidation process.
The circulating well technology can combine various technologies such as blowing off, air injection, vapor extraction, enhanced bioremediation, chemical oxidation and the like, can promote the dissolution and migration of pollutants, forms a vertical circulating flow field by aerating in the well, carries volatile and semi-volatile organic matters in the underground water into the well, and removes the volatile and semi-volatile organic matters by aeration blowing off. The circulation well technology has the advantage of being coupled with various technologies, such as modifying the extraction injection mode of the technology or combining with vapor extraction, a bioreactor and the like, modifying the operation mode and structure of the technology combined with the technology and the like. Common circulation well technology is basically aimed at semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds, and other technologies need to be coupled for removing other pollutants.
The prior art of photocatalysis microbial fuel cell technology is mainly to load one electrode of a microbial fuel cell with a photocatalysis material, for example, a method for promoting coking wastewater treatment by coupling a photocatalysis electrode with a microbial fuel cell disclosed in patent publication No. CN 108793422A, which comprises the steps of catalyst La-ZnIn 2 S 4 Graphene Oxide (RGO) and bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) The photocatalytic anode is introduced into the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell reactor, the charge separation efficiency can be effectively improved through a heterostructure formed by coupling different catalysts, and the wavelength absorption range can be enlarged by coupling the photocatalysts in different absorption wavelength ranges, so that the photocatalytic efficiency is improved.
A photocatalysis-microbiological fuel cell sewage treatment composite device disclosed in the patent with publication number of CN208471684U constructs a double-anode microbiological fuel cell by connecting a semiconductor photocatalysis anode and a microbiological fuel cell anode with a cathode through an external load circuit, and strengthens the treatment capacity of organic pollutants (28). The patent publication No. CN 103159331A discloses a method and a device for treating sewage and simultaneously generating electricity by photocatalysis cooperated with a microbial fuel cell technology, wherein conductive glass coated with a P-type semiconductor photocatalyst film is connected with conductive filler to serve as an anode of the microbial fuel cell, and conductive glass coated with an N-type semiconductor photocatalyst film is connected with the conductive filler to serve as a cathode of the microbial fuel cell.
The prior art can not solve the problems of low temperature, oxygen deficiency, no illumination and difficult replacement operation of reaction components in the well in groundwater, and does not disclose a photocatalysis microbial fuel cell directly taking an anode as a reactor shell, and does not find a technical scheme for combining the photocatalysis microbial fuel cell with a circulating well technology.
Therefore, there is a need for a device that can solve the problems of low temperature, low oxygen deficiency of groundwater, microorganism proliferation and reduced reaction rate, limited application of photocatalysis technology due to non-illuminated environment of groundwater, low pollutant treatment efficiency and high pollutant selectivity of circulating well technology, and difficult replacement of underground treatment components.
Furthermore, there are differences in one aspect due to understanding to those skilled in the art; on the other hand, as the inventors studied numerous documents and patents while the present invention was made, the text is not limited to details and contents of all that are listed, but it is by no means the present invention does not have these prior art features, the present invention has all the prior art features, and the applicant remains in the background art to which the rights of the related prior art are added.

In the case where the photocatalytic anode is configured as a reactor housing, the reactor housing is arranged in such a manner as to be able to enclose a reaction chamber of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell; the annular light source is arranged around the reactor housing in a manner that forms an annular band of light that irradiates the reactor housing in a radial direction. The photocatalytic anode is used as a carrier for photocatalytic reaction, and meanwhile, the photocatalytic anode is used as a reactor shell, so that the use of materials can be reduced, the difficulty of structural arrangement is reduced, the area of the photocatalytic anode for photocatalytic reaction is obviously enlarged, and the probability of the reaction of microorganisms and organic pollutants in groundwater on the surface of the photocatalytic anode is increased.
Preferably, in the case that the photocatalytic anode as the reactor housing has a positive potential, the photocatalytic anode is connected to a cathode located inside the reactor housing and an annular light source located outside the reactor housing to constitute a power supply circuit for supplying the annular light source with electric power. The electric energy generated by the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell is transmitted to the annular light source through an external circuit, so that the dependence of the processing assembly on external energy sources is reduced.
In the case of a ring light source which radially surrounds the photocatalytic anode which is likewise configured as a ring, the ring light source can be adjusted in height and position such that the ring light source is at substantially the same level as the photocatalytic anode, so that the ring light source surrounds the photocatalytic anode at least by means of a large portion thereof in the axial direction and radially outward.
Preferably, the upper end of the reactor shell is provided with a plurality of conductive rods with built-in wires, the conductive rods are arranged in a crossed manner according to the mode that the built-in wires can be converged, and the carbon brushes cover the whole photocatalytic microbial fuel cell cavity in a mode that the carbon brushes can be arranged at different axial heights and different radial distances in the reaction cavity under the condition that at least one group of carbon brushes is arranged at each end point of the conductive rods. In order to ensure that pollutants at different positions in the reactor can be degraded, carbon brushes are hung in the reactor at different axial heights and different radial distances, the different axial heights refer to different heights of the carbon brush hanging heights relative to the bottom surface of the reaction cavity, the different radial distances refer to different radial distances from the hanging points of the carbon brushes on the conductive rods to the central axis of the reaction cavity, and a plurality of carbon brushes and the photocatalytic anode form a parallel loop, so that the loop can generate more electric energy based on the carbon brushes arranged at different positions of the reaction cavity and the conductive rods are converged to a storage battery through the cross arrangement.
Preferably, the upper end of the reactor housing may be provided with a stirrer for acting in the reaction chamber, and in case the stirrer is capable of forming a vortex for agitating contaminated groundwater in the reaction chamber based on the rotating member, the stirrer is disposed at a gap position of the carbon brush in a manner capable of varying a rotational speed or intermittently rotating, so that the stirrer can generate a controllable disturbance to promote uniform distribution of organic pollutants without causing a large amount of shedding of microorganisms loaded on the carbon brush due to the excessive disturbance.
Preferably, the processing assembly further comprises a ground-based fixture for suspending the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell within the circulation well, the processing assembly being capable of adjusting the depth of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell within the circulation well with the fixture at least to the extent that the photocatalytic anode, which is the reactor housing, breaks away from the groundwater when the positive potential of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell constituting the power supply circuit drops significantly.
Preferably, in the case that the photocatalytic anode configured as the reactor housing is radially surrounded by the annular light source and forms an annular space with the annular light source, the photocatalytic anode is radially provided with the water outlet, and the processing assembly is capable of flushing impurities adhering to the surfaces of the photocatalytic anode and the annular light source in such a manner that the groundwater flowing into the annular space from the reaction chamber of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell generates a vortex, so that the impurities are prevented from reducing the intensity of light emitted from the annular light source and the efficiency of the photocatalytic anode to receive the light.
Under the setting mode of the invention, the self-sustaining working time of the processing assembly is obviously prolonged, the maintenance period is greatly prolonged, and the operation cost is obviously reduced. For example, by lifting the photocatalytic anode alone to separate from the groundwater, microorganisms or impurities in a gap generated by the annular light source radially surrounding the annular photocatalytic anode can be removed, the light source transmittance is prevented from being reduced, and the power supply of the power supply circuit of the light source has significantly higher power generation capacity. In addition, turbulence can be generated in the annular gap between the descending annular light source and the photocatalytic anode by alternately lifting the descending annular light source and the photocatalytic anode, so that sludge and the tillering organisms attached to the sludge are eliminated, and the reaction efficiency of the photocell is improved. The photocatalytic anode has a considerable weight, so that the speed at which it descends can generate a considerable impact force on its surface, whereby the impact force can clean dirt attached to its surface, whereby it can be designed to taper towards the end of the circulation well to further enhance the impact effect; if the cone shape is combined with the annular light source, an annular vortex is formed underground, namely, a gap generated by radially surrounding the annular photocatalytic anode by the annular light source forms the annular vortex, and the liquid moving up and down in the vortex can remove dirt attached on the surfaces of the annular light source and the photocatalytic anode based on pressure generated by flow velocity change. In addition, by lifting the suspension height of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell, the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell can adapt to the condition of water level fluctuation of a circulating well.
When the power supply voltage of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell forming the power supply circuit is obviously reduced, and after the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell is used for executing lifting and lowering cycles in the circulating well for a plurality of times by using the ground fixing device, the power supply voltage of the power supply circuit is still lower than the voltage required by the illumination threshold, and then the fixing device sends a maintenance instruction to the processing assembly.
Preferably, the treatment assembly further comprises an air extraction device, wherein in the case that the organic pollutants in the groundwater can be degraded based on the photocatalytic oxidation reaction to generate volatile organic pollutants, the air extraction device can extract the volatile organic pollutants and transmit the volatile organic pollutants to the tail gas purification device for purification treatment, so that the organic pollutants in the groundwater are continuously degraded and discharged out of the circulating well.
Preferably, the treatment assembly further comprises a water pumping and injecting device, and in the case that the water pumping and injecting device is connected with the upper section and the lower section of the circulating well main body separated by the packer through pipelines, the pumping and injecting device can pump out the underground water located at the lower section and convey the underground water to the upper section, so that the underground water forms vertical three-dimensional flowing circulation between the upper section and the lower section based on the pressure difference effect.

Preferably, in the case of loading the pre-acclimated microorganisms to the cathode of the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell, organic contaminants in the groundwater can undergo a photocatalytic-based oxidation reaction as fuel on the surface of the photocatalytic anode, so that electrons generated by the oxidation reaction can move to the cathode through an external circuit connected to the photocatalytic anode and be captured by the pre-acclimated microorganisms loaded on the cathode; under the condition that a complete closed circuit is formed by the cathode, the photocatalytic anode and the external circuit, the external circuit is also connected with a storage battery which can collect electric energy generated by the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell and can provide electric energy for the annular light source, so that the photocatalytic microbial fuel cell system can independently work under the condition of not consuming external electric energy. The electric energy generated by the microbial fuel cell is supplied to the light source of the photocatalysis technology, so that the problem of low photocatalysis rate caused by darkness of underground water can be solved, and when the electric energy of the microbial fuel cell is insufficient for supplying the light energy, the external electric energy is supplemented.
