The pollutants in the current industrial and agricultural and urban domestic sewage mainly comprise organic matters, heavy metal ions, sulfur-containing salts, nitrogen-containing salts, phosphorus-containing salts and the like. Because sewage contains a plurality of substances which are toxic and harmful to human bodies, animals and plants, the direct sewage discharge can not only directly harm life bodies on the earth, but also cause immeasurable harm to the ecological environment. Conventional sewage treatment processes include bio-enzyme catalysis, physical multiple evaporation crystallization technology, chemical Fenton reaction, etc., which inevitably involve complicated separation processes, additional energy consumption and chemical reagent use, thereby increasing sewage treatment costs.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects to be solved more clear and obvious, the invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
The main components of the hydrazine sewage in the invention are hydrazine hydrate, hydrazine sulfate, hydrazine hydrochloride, other hydrazine-containing derivatives and the like, wherein the concentration range of the hydrazine is 0.01-2000 mM. The main component of the nitrate sewage is inorganic nitrate, wherein the concentration range of the nitrate is 0.01-2000 mM.

in the invention, a ruthenium cobalt bimetallic catalyst grown on a foam cobalt current collector in situ is taken as an example. The specific synthesis scheme is as follows: firstly, preparing a solution of cobalt chloride with the concentration of 0.05M and urea with the concentration of 0.25M, and uniformly stirring. Then 30mL of the solution is put into a lining of a polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle, and a piece of 2X 4cm is put into the lining 2 Is covered with a cover and sealed in a stainless steel container. The mixture was placed in a forced air oven, the hydrothermal reaction temperature was set to 90℃and the duration was 10 hours. And after the hydrothermal reaction is finished and cooled, taking out the foamed cobalt substrate, and washing the foamed cobalt substrate to successfully grow the rod-shaped cobalt hydroxide on the foamed cobalt substrate in situ. Next, the foamed cobalt is immersed vertically in 60mL of RuCl 3 Solution (0.05 mg mL) -1 ) The solution was stirred at room temperature until a precipitate formed in the solution, the cobalt foam was removed, rinsed clean, and dried. Finally placing the mixture in a tube furnace to calcine at 250 ℃ for 3 hours under the calcination atmosphere of 5% H 2 Ar mixture. After the reaction is finished, the ruthenium-cobalt bimetallic catalyst which grows on the foam cobalt substrate in situ can be obtained, and a scanning electron microscope image and an element distribution diagram of the ruthenium-cobalt bimetallic catalyst are shown as figure 2.
Besides the ruthenium cobalt catalyst, the ruthenium copper catalyst also has the same effect, and the ruthenium copper bimetallic catalyst can be directly synthesized in situ on the foam copper current collector. The specific scheme is as follows: placing foamy copper into an alkalified ammonium persulfate solution to form a rod-shaped copper hydroxide structure, thereby expanding the specific surface area of the foamy copper, then adopting ruthenium trichloride as a raw material to carry out cation exchange in a water phase, enabling ruthenium species to be loaded on the rod-shaped copper hydroxide, and finally calcining the mixture of hydrogen and inert gas in the atmosphere to form the ruthenium-copper bimetallic catalyst.
3. Construction of a hydrazine-nitrate battery device in the invention:
in the invention, hydrazine and nitrate sewage enters the membrane electrode flow reactor in a liquid circulation flow mode.

As shown in FIG. 3c, the chronopotentiometry shows that the cell can be operated continuously and stably for 20 hours, during which the slow decrease in output voltage is attributable to the rapid consumption of hydrazine and nitrate in the wastewater, so that the cell performance can be recovered by supplementing only hydrazine and nitrate, during which the average ammonia yield is 0.37mmol h -1 cm -2 . The produced ammonia water can be combined with the stripping technology, so that the ammonia water solution with high purity and high concentration can be produced.
4. Construction of a hydrazine-nitrate battery device in the invention:
in the invention, hydrazine sewage and potassium hydroxide solution enter a membrane electrode flow reactor in a liquid circulation flow mode. The specific mode is as follows: as shown in FIG. 4a, a peristaltic pump and a silica gel tube are adopted to communicate an anode flow passage of a membrane electrode flow reactor of a hydrazine electrolysis tank with a hydrazine sewage pool, and a cathode flow passage of the hydrazine electrolysis tank is communicated with a potassium hydroxide liquid storage tank in the same way, wherein the concentration of hydrazine sewage is 0.1M, the concentration of potassium hydroxide solution is 1M, and the flow rate is controlled to be 150mL min -1 . And then connecting the cathode and anode titanium wires of the electrolytic tank with an electrochemical workstation for testing, wherein a chronopotentiometric method is adopted in the testing mode, so that a polarization curve is drawn. As shown in FIGS. 4b and 4c, the cell can reach 50mA cm with a cell pressure of only 0.23V -2 Current density and stable operation for at least 20h, hydrogen production rate of 0.93mmol h -1 cm -2
5. The method for driving the hydrazine-nitrate battery to produce hydrogen by the hydrazine electrolysis cell device comprises the following steps:
as shown in FIG. 5, in the invention, two hydrazine-nitrate batteries are connected in series only through a lead, then the anode of the hydrazine-nitrate battery is connected with the cathode of an anion exchange membrane hydrazine electrolytic tank, and the cathode of the hydrazine-nitrate battery is connected with the anode of the anion exchange membrane hydrazine electrolytic tank, so that spontaneous hydrogen production can be realized, and the hydrogen production rate is 0.35mmol cm -1 h -1
6. The invention relates to a method for highly purifying hydrazine and nitrate sewage, which comprises the following steps:
as shown in FIG. 6a, the invention can realize the high purification of the hydrazine and nitrate sewage by only mixing the residual/low-concentration hydrazine and nitrate waste liquid in the same container tank and then putting a catalyst. As shown in FIG. 6b, by adjusting the concentration ratio of hydrazine to nitrate sewage, one of the concentrations can be reduced to below 1 ppm. For example, when the concentrations of hydrazine and nitrate to be charged are 40 and 10mM, respectively, and the treatment time of one day has elapsed, only 0.26 and 0.36ppm of hydrazine and nitrate remain in the solution after the reaction, respectively, with removal efficiencies as high as 99.98% and 99.94%. In addition, the content of nitrite as a by-product in the solution after completion of the reaction was only 0.07ppm. Finally, it is notable that the catalyst can be reused at least 8 times, the hydrazine and (nitrite) residues always being below 1.1ppm, the removal efficiency still remaining above 99%, as shown in fig. 6 c.
The principle of the invention is as follows:
standard electrode potential for hydrazine oxidation is-1.16 vs. Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE), anodic reaction equation: n (N) 2 H 4 -4e - +4OH - →N 2 +4H 2 O; whereas the standard electrode potential for the nitrate reduction reaction is-0.12 v vs. NO (NO) 3 - +8e - +7H 2 O→NH 3 ·H 2 O+9OH - . Therefore, the two cathodes and the anodes are in reactive coupling to form a spontaneous hydrazine-nitrate primary battery, and the discharge voltage of the battery can reach 1.04V at most. The nitrogen generated by the anode in the battery can be directly discharged into the atmosphere, and the ammonia water generated by the cathode can be recycled as a product with high economic value through a stripping technology. Because the system can additionally generate electricity, the hydrazine-nitrate battery assembled by the system can spontaneously drive a hydrazine sewage water electrolysis tank, nitrogen generated by an anode of the hydrazine-nitrate battery is directly discharged into the atmosphere, and hydrogen with high economic value generated by a cathode of the hydrazine-nitrate battery can be directly collected and reused.
