The method and the device for continuously and efficiently generating the chlorine dioxide disinfectant agent are described in detail by specific embodiments.
Example 1:
(1) preparation of the anode 4: dissolving 20mg of ruthenium chloride in 5mL of ethanol, spraying the ruthenium chloride ethanol solution on a porous titanium foam surface of 2cm (length) by 2cm (width) by 0.68cm (thickness), and finally spraying the solution on H 2 And calcining the titanium foam-based ruthenium monatomic integral anode 4 at 400 ℃ in the Ar atmosphere. A physical image and an AC-TEM image of the ruthenium monoatomic anode 4 are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
(2) Assembling a high-purity chlorine dioxide continuous generating device: and (2) taking the electrode prepared in the step (1) as an anode 4, taking foamed nickel as a cathode 2, then clamping the cathode chamber 1, the cathode 2, the proton exchange membrane 3, the anode 4 and the anode chamber 5, and simultaneously respectively connecting the cathode 2 and the anode 4 with a negative electrode and a positive electrode of a power supply through leads to obtain the electrochemical reactor. The circulation buffer tank 6 is connected to the anode chamber 4 of the electrochemical reactor by a pipe, and the circulation buffer tank 6 is connected to the raw material storage tank 9 and the cleaning solution storage tank 10 by a pipe.
(3) The method for preparing the chlorine dioxide sterilizing agent by using the high-purity chlorine dioxide continuous generation device in the step (2) comprises the following steps: electrolyte containing sodium chlorite is led into a circulating buffer tank 6 through a water pump 8, the sodium chlorite electrolyte in the circulating buffer tank 6 is led into an anode chamber 5, the concentration of the sodium chlorite is 1mol/L, and the flow rate is controlled at 100 mL/min. 0.5mol/L potassium sulfate electrolyte is continuously pumped into the cathode chamber 1 through a water pump 8, and the flow rate is 100 ml/min. Air was continuously pumped into the bottom of the anode chamber and the gas flow rate was controlled at 5 m/s. Then, a constant current of 1A was applied between the cathode 2 and the anode 4 and electrolysis was continued for 5 hours, and the concentration of chlorine dioxide in the anolyte was measured to calculate the selectivity of chlorine dioxide, which is shown in fig. 4.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the faradaic efficiency of the selective oxidation of chlorite to chlorine dioxide was close to 100% with a constant current of 1A for 5 hours, and almost no other chlorine-containing species were detected except for the chlorine dioxide product. The chlorine dioxide generating device of the invention has higher selectivity of generating the chlorine dioxide sterilizing agent.
Example 2:
capacity of the chlorine dioxide generating device for continuously generating high-purity chlorine dioxide: the chlorine dioxide generator assembled in example 1 was used to control the concentration of sodium chlorite in the anolyte to be 1mol/L and the flow rate to be 100 mL/min. Air was continuously pumped into the bottom of the anode chamber, and the gas flow rate was controlled at 5 m/s. The concentration of potassium sulfate in the catholyte is controlled to be 0.5mol/L, and the flow rate is controlled to be 100 ml/min. A constant current of 1A was applied between the cathode 2 and the anode 4, electrolysis was continued for 50 hours at a constant current of 1A, and the concentration of chlorine dioxide at the gas outlet of the anode chamber and the voltage change during electrolysis were detected, and the chlorine dioxide concentration and the voltage change during continuous electrolysis were shown in FIG. 5.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the concentration of chlorine dioxide was maintained at about 6g/h and the voltage was maintained at about 2.2V during the 50-hour electrolysis. The sodium chlorite concentration detection and flow control instrument 7 can ensure that the device automatically feeds materials once every 10 hours, and the concentration of sodium chlorite in the circulating buffer tank is maintained at about 1mol/L, thereby ensuring the high-efficiency and high-selectivity conversion of chlorine dioxide.

Example 3:
and (3) testing the automatic cleaning function of the device: the chlorine dioxide generator assembled in example 1 was used to control the concentration of sodium chlorite in the anolyte to be 1mol/L and the flow rate to be 100 mL/min. Air was continuously pumped into the bottom of the anode chamber and the gas flow rate was controlled at 5 m/s. The concentration of potassium sulfate in the catholyte is controlled to be 0.5mol/L, and the flow rate is controlled to be 100 ml/min. A constant current of 1A was applied between the cathode 2 and the anode 4, and electrolysis was continued for 1 week.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the concentration of chlorine dioxide generated by the apparatus slightly decreased after 4 days of continuous electrolysis, which is caused by the surface contamination of the monatomic integrated electrode. According to the program set by the sodium chlorite concentration detection and flow control instrument 7, the device is switched to a cleaning mode on day 5, deionized water in the cleaning solution storage tank 10 enters the circulating buffer tank 6 and then enters the anode chamber to clean the surface of the anode, and after 5 minutes of cleaning, the device is switched to a feeding mode again to continuously generate chlorine dioxide. The chlorine dioxide concentration produced by the device then returned to 6 g/h. The chlorine dioxide generating device can realize the automatic cleaning function and ensure that the device continuously generates the high-concentration chlorine dioxide sterilizing agent.
Example 4:
the application of the chlorine dioxide generating device in the aspect of air purification: and (3) placing the chlorine dioxide generator in a closed space with the formaldehyde concentration of 100ppm in the air, continuously working for 10 hours, and continuously monitoring the concentration change of the formaldehyde in the closed space. The formaldehyde concentration is plotted against time in FIG. 7.
As can be seen from fig. 7, the concentration of formaldehyde in the air in the enclosed space continuously decreased during the continuous operation of the chlorine dioxide generator, and formaldehyde was completely removed within 5 hours. The chlorine dioxide generating device can be applied to the aspect of air purification.
Example 5:
