A kind of catalysis electrode and device that is used to handle nitroaromatic and halides
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of catalysis electrode and device that is used to handle nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters.
Background technology
Nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters are a kind of important chemical intermediates, are widely used among the industry such as national defence, weaving, printing and dyeing, explosive, process hides, agricultural chemicals and medicine.And, be present in widely in the various factory effluents along with the fast development of industry.Because nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters are very big to the toxicity of biology, have stronger carcinogenic, teratogenesis and mutagenesis, classified as the pollutent of preferential control by various countries.Thereby these contain the waste water of nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters as not treated discharging, can cause serious pollution to environment.
It is to adopt absorption method (as Chinese patent CN1266820), extraction process (as Chinese patent CN1132725) that prior art handles one to nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters, perhaps handle the back by physicochemical method and destroy its nitryl group or dehalogenation, that improves nitroaromatic or halogenated organic matters can be biological.But, because the recovery value of most nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters is very low, the cost of adsorbent reactivation and extraction agent is very high again, and the complicated component of waste water, make that absorption method and extraction process cost are higher, use extraction agent to introduce secondary pollution again simultaneously.
Prior art also can adopt high-level oxidation technology to the processing of nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters, comprises electrochemical oxidation, wet oxidation (comprising supercritical oxidation) and Fenton reagent etc.As disclosing a kind of technology of wet oxidation treatment of Nitrobenzene class waste water in the U.S. Pat 5250193, need the high pressure of 220~345 crust, 325~370 ℃ high temperature and corrosion resistant apparatus, investment and running cost height.Chinese patent CN1587091 discloses a kind of method of using chlorophenol in the hydrogen peroxide chemical oxidation water, owing to use a large amount of hydrogen peroxide, also makes processing cost very high.These methods all can't be practical owing to processing cost is very high.
When using oxidative treatment nitroaromatic and halogenated organic matters, because the stability of this two compounds is strong, the Chang Zuowei lewis' acid exists, it is oxidized to be difficult for losing electronics, and when the oxidation nitroaromatic in addition can toxigenicity stronger pyridine carboxylic acid, handle this two compounds so use reduction method in recent years instead.Wherein, electrolytic reduction is exactly comparatively common a kind of in the iron carbon, and this method is with low cost, but activity is not high, and iron particle top layer easily forms oxyhydroxide or oxide passivation layer, and stops reaction further to be carried out, and produces a large amount of iron mud simultaneously and forms secondary pollution.Chinese patent CN1168865 discloses the method for wastewater treatment that a kind of oil of mirbane shortening prepares p-aminophenol.This method is with the waste water evaporation concentration, and energy consumption is very big, and handling waste water simultaneously still needs charcoal absorption to handle.Chinese patent CN 1569677 has reported the method for halogeno-benzene phenolic compounds pollution in a kind of catalytic reduction hydrodehalogenation elimination water, (hydrogen of 0.05MPa~1.0MPa) is as hydrogen source need to use certain pressure, and using precious metal as hydrogenation catalyst, cost is very high.
By contrast, electrochemical reducing is a kind of treatment technology of cleaning.As disclose a kind of use electrochemical treatment oil of mirbane, 2 in Chinese patent CN1559933, the method for wastewater treatment of 4-dinitrophenol, p-Nitrophenyl chloride, bath voltage are up to 20~60V, and electric current is up to 10~30A.This is owing to the concentration of nitroaromatic in the waste water and halogenated organic matters is very low, the reduction overpotential height on conventional electrodes, and liberation of hydrogen is serious, thus current efficiency is low, and cost is very high.
