Definitions
- the subj ect of the invention is a system f or water and wastewater treatment using a flotation and electrocoagu lation systems supported by micro-nano bubbles .
- the invention belongs to the field of the water and wast ewater treatment systems and installations .
- the invention solves the technical problem of wastewater treatment and the related problem of the neces sity of frequent cleaning of the electrodes used in the electrocoagulation proces s and reducing their wear and tear .
- Sedimentation as a proces s based on the use of gravity, is a slow process and its ef fectiveness depends on the correct selection of chemicals for the type of wastewater . Sedimentation requires large tanks called settlers . Flotation is a faster proces s than sedimentation and requires smaller tanks , but its implementation requires dosing of coagulant , polyelectrolyte and continuous supply of gas bubbles to the tank, which attach to solid particles precipitated chemically and carry them to the surface of the liquid, creating a scum that is easy to remove mechanically .
- the effectiveness of removing suspensions by flotation depends on the amount and type of chemicals used in the process and the size of gas bubbles inserted into the flotation chamber .
- the bubbles generated for flotation are usually in the range of 50-150 micrometers and have a negative Zeta potential.
- the zeta potential otherwise known as electrokinetic potential, is the potential that exists at the phase interface of a molecule and is responsible for the attraction of molecules with different charges.
- the amount of chemicals that is required to carry out the flotation process correctly depends mainly on the type of wastewater and its chemical composition. In the case when fats and oils in th.e form of emulsions are present in the sewage, significant amounts of coagulant are required for the so-called "emulsion breaking" leading to high operating costs and low efficiency.
- Chemical coagulation is carried out by dosing a coagulant, for example FeaCl, whose chemical reaction in contact with water occurs as follows:
- Fe(OH)3 hydroxide is a positively charged colloid so that it attaches contaminant molecules from the wastewater with a negative potential on its surface, and this process is called coagulation.
- pH correction usually needs to be carried out. Adjusting the wastewater to the correct pH is required for proper operation of the polyelectrolyte, most often it is 5.5-7.5.
- polyelectrolyte is dosed, whose task is to agglomerate the colloidal molecules into larger polymer chains.
- air bubbles are added whose Zeta potential is negative. Thanks to the negative potential, the bubbles attach to the polymer chains and then bring them to the surface using the flotation effect.
- Electrocoagulation is an electrochemical process of water purification, through the flow of charge through the anode and cathode there is a process of destabilization and aggregation of contaminated particles.
- iron or aluminium anodes are most often used, which are electrolytically dissolved using flowing electricity.
- electrode metal ions are supplied to the wastewater further fulfilling the function of electrolytic coagulant.
- electrochemical insertion of coagulating Fe 2+ ions into the wastewater which are oxidized to Fe 3+ using oxygen dissoLved in the water.
- Fe 3+ cations react with hydroxide ions to form iron hydroxides Fe(OH)3, and from this point the negatively charged colloids are destabilised and agglomerated, the same as with chemical coagulation.
- the anode's operating model remains without significant changes: during operation, iron or aluminium, depending on the material of manufacture, from the anode dissolves in water to form free ions.
- Fe 3+ cations form positive hydroxides ⁇ Fe (OH)3 ⁇ , which further function as colloidal sorbents of such wastewater pollutants as suspended solids, phosphorus compounds or substances responsible for COD.
- micro-nano bubbles have a very high gas pressure inside, resulting from balancing the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid.
- a characteristic feature of micro-nano bubbles is that when they collapse, they generate a significant amount of energy dissipated using an ultrasonic wave, leading to the formation of free hydroxyl radicals OH°, which are very strong oxidants that additionally support wastewater treatment.
- the generated bubbles have a negative Zeta potential and during chemical coagulation there is iron in various degrees of oxidation with a positive potential, the bubbles stabilize on their surface and the nano bubbles do not collapse. If the bubble does not collapse, no free hydroxyl radical is formed and therefore no advanced oxidation occurs.
- the solution according to the invention is able to remove not only colloids but also contaminants that are dissolved, while maintaining the cleanliness of the electrodes.
- Replacing standard bubbles with nano bubbles inserted directly through the electrode significantly increases coagulation efficiency by directly removing the coagulated sludge from the space between the electrodes , while preventing electrode clobbering .
- Feeding micro bubbles from the bottom into the space between the electrodes leads to additional floating , increasing the speed and effi ciency of the process .
- Dosing micro-nano bubbles reduces operating costs and reduces the neces sary working volume of the electrode chamber . Additionally , cracking nano bubbles generate ultrasonic waves that mechanically clean all solid surfaces .
- hydroxyl radicals OH ° are formed, which are very strong oxidants , stronger than ozone and atomic oxygen . Hydroxyl radicals decompose both colloidal and dis solved organic substances , thus improving the efficiency of the system and wastewater treatment , where currently the main method of removing such di ssolved pollutants is biological treatment .
- Dai Zengtao pres ents a solution based on saturating hard water with micro-nano bubbles before directing it to the electrocoagulation process so that the ions formed during the process lead to the precipitation of , among others , iron .
- the solution according to the invention use s only part of the puri fied water stream, which is saturated with micro- nano bubbles that are selectively fed directly into the ele ctrode and from the bottom of the chamber, reducing the energy consumption of the proces s .
- the main aim of the solution according to the invention is to improve the e f ficiency and reduce the size of wastewater treatment systems using electrocoagulation and flotation with particular emphasis on improving the process , reducing its operating and investment costs .
- the solutions known so far use macro bubbles of 1-3 mm to clean the space between the electrodes in the electrocoagulation proces s , while in the flotation process micro bubbles >10 pm are used only to ensure flotation after adding polyelectrolyte .
- the solution according to the submitted invention is focused on the feeding of micro and nano bubbles at the electrocoagulation stage , with the stream divided into micro and nano bubbles separately .
- Micro bubbles are dosed with treated water saturated with them into the wastewater that flows into the electrocoagulation and flows between electrodes specially designed for this purpose , while nano bubbles are fed with treated water saturated with them through the electrode .
- the micro bubbles fed have a si ze from 10pm to 100pm and the nano bubbles from lO Onm to 500nm .
- Nano bubbles are responsible for the advanced exudation proces s , i . e .
- the most significant cost in the electrocoagulation proc es s is electricity consumption and electrode wear and tear .
- the use of the solution according to the invention reduces elect ricity consumption by approximately 20% and al so reduces electrode wear and tear by approximately 10% . Thanks to improved ope ration efficiency of the electrodes and improved their cleaning, it is pos sible to use electrodes with up to 13% les s surface area .
- the es sence of the invention is a wastewater treatment system comprising wastewater to be treated chamber and treated wastewater chamber where between the chambers there is a partition separating them from the bottom by up to 80 % of the height of the chambers and to the wastewater to be treated chamber is led at the bottom of the wall of the wastewater to be treated chamber - up to 10 % of its height - wastewater inlet pipeline and outlet pipeline of treated water is led out from the bottom part of the wall of the treated wastewater chamber and in the wastewater to be treated chamber, on the surface of the wastewater there is a s ludge scraper attached to the wall of the wastewater to be treated chamber and in the wastewater to be treated chamber there are electrodes attached to it , connected to a direct current source alternately to the positive and negative poles .
- the electrodes contain two electr ically conductive , tightly connected flat layers front and back, which are tightly connected by a dielectric insert placed betwe en the layers along their outer edges and the electrodes comprise an inlet hole located between the layers in the insert .
- the flat layers contain perforations on the surface that is not in contact with the insert and the electrodes contain electrical conne ctions attached to the layers .
- At least one pipe placed between the insert s runs through the electrode inlet hole , the part of which between the layers is perforated .
- the electrode perforations are made in parallel lines running along the entire length of the layers , where the perforations of adj acent lines are arranged alternately, so that perforations in one line occur above the gap between perforations in an adj acent line .
- the outlets for the perforations of electrodes are directed towards the edge of the layers at which the inlet hole is located .
- the direct current source is a photovoltaic installation .
- the gas source is an air intake or an oxyge n tank or an ozone generator or a nitrogen tank .
- the essence of the invention is a method of wast ewater treatment using a system according to the invention whe re the wastewater to be treated is fed into the wastewater to be treated chamber through the inlet pipeline and at the same time the electrodes are powered with direct current so that adj acent electrodes are powered by di fferent poles and the treated water overflows the partition and enters the treated wastewater chamber from where it is discharged via a treated water pipeline a nd the scum from the upper surface of the wastewater in wastewater to be treated chamber is collected by a scraper .
- Up to 10% of the treated water entering the treated water pipeline is discharged by a pump through the generator supply pipeline to the micro-nano bubble generator , then the generator saturates between 40 to 60 % of the water with nano bubbles and the remaining part with micro bubbles and the water saturated with micro bubbles is pumped out through the pipeline via perforations to the lower part of the wastewater to be treated chamber and at the same time , the water saturated with nano bubbles is pumped through the pipeline to the interior of the electrodes , from where it enters the wastewater to be treated chamber .
- the proposed system is a favourable solution for any wastewater containing significant amounts of suspended solids and colloids , which in a standard solution require significant amounts of chemicals or, due to the significant amounts of colloids , standard electrocoagulation is difficult .
- This is in particular due to the fact that the created and used 0H ° radicals have an oxidation potential of 2 . 8 [V] , for comparison , ozone has 2 . 07 [V] and chlorine 1 . 36 [V] , which makes them highly effective in the oxidation of problematic wastewater, which, combined with the electrocoagulation process in single device, gives very beneficial and non-obvious effects.

The zeta potential, otherwise known as electrokinetic potential, is the potential that exists at the phase interface of a molecule and is responsible for the attraction of molecules with different charges. The amount of chemicals that is required to carry out the flotation process correctly depends mainly on the type of wastewater and its chemical composition. In the case when fats and oils in th.e form of emulsions are present in the sewage, significant amounts of coagulant are required for the so-called "emulsion breaking" leading to high operating costs and low efficiency.
Chemical coagulation is carried out by dosing a coagulant, for example FeaCl, whose chemical reaction in contact with water occurs as follows:
FeC13+3H2O<—> Fe (OH) 3+3HCL
Fe(OH)3 hydroxide is a positively charged colloid so that it attaches contaminant molecules from the wastewater with a negative potential on its surface, and this process is called coagulation. After the coagulation process, pH correction usually needs to be carried out. Adjusting the wastewater to the correct pH is required for proper operation of the polyelectrolyte, most often it is 5.5-7.5. After correcting the pH, polyelectrolyte is dosed, whose task is to agglomerate the colloidal molecules into larger polymer chains. In the last stage, air bubbles are added whose Zeta potential is negative. Thanks to the negative potential, the bubbles attach to the polymer chains and then bring them to the surface using the flotation effect.
A process similar to coagulation with iron or aluminium salts is electrocoagulation. Electrocoagulation is an electrochemical process of water purification, through the flow of charge through the anode and cathode there is a process of destabilization and aggregation of contaminated particles. In the electrocoagulation
process, iron or aluminium anodes are most often used, which are electrolytically dissolved using flowing electricity. In this way, electrode metal ions are supplied to the wastewater further fulfilling the function of electrolytic coagulant. As a result of electrochemical insertion of coagulating Fe2+ ions into the wastewater, which are oxidized to Fe3+ using oxygen dissoLved in the water. In electrocoagulated wastewater, Fe3+ cations react with hydroxide ions to form iron hydroxides Fe(OH)3, and from this point the negatively charged colloids are destabilised and agglomerated, the same as with chemical coagulation.
During electrocoagulation operation with micro-nano bubbles, the anode's operating model remains without significant changes: during operation, iron or aluminium, depending on the material of manufacture, from the anode dissolves in water to form free ions.
For iron: Fe -> Fe2+ + 2e~
For aluminium: Al -> Al3+ + 3e~
During the operation of the cathode, electrolysis takes place, during which the water molecule is split according to the following reaction:
2H2O + 2e" -> H2 + 20H-
In electrocoagulated wastewater, Fe3+ cations form positive hydroxides {Fe (OH)3}, which further function as colloidal sorbents of such wastewater pollutants as suspended solids, phosphorus compounds or substances responsible for COD.
The formation of micelles is in accordance with the following reaction :
Fe3+ + 30H- = Fe (OH) 3
The generated micro-nano bubbles have a very high gas pressure inside, resulting from balancing the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid. A characteristic feature of micro-nano bubbles is that when they collapse, they generate a significant amount of energy dissipated using an ultrasonic wave, leading to the formation of free hydroxyl radicals OH°, which are very strong oxidants that additionally support wastewater treatment.
Since the generated bubbles have a negative Zeta potential and during chemical coagulation there is iron in various degrees of oxidation with a positive potential, the bubbles stabilize on their surface and the nano bubbles do not collapse. If the bubble does not collapse, no free hydroxyl radical is formed and therefore no advanced oxidation occurs.
From the state of the art there are known methods of electrocoagulation consisting of a tank, electrodes, a current source, where the flow of wastewater through the electrodes can be horizontal or vertical depending on the orientation of the electrodes. Due to the structure of the electrodes, we can distinguish single or multi-channel flow. In most solutions, the tanks are filled with electrodes, which can be connected to each other unipolar in parallel, bipolar in parallel or unipolar in series. Tank aeration is used to ensure mixing. After the electrocoagulation process, the sludge is most often separated using a press. However, the above design solutions have limitations mainly related to the growing micelles on the electrodes, which reduces the efficiency of the system and increases its energy consumption. Mixing is necessary to ensure movement of the wastewater between the electrodes. The solution according to the invention is able to remove not only colloids but also contaminants that are dissolved, while maintaining the cleanliness of the electrodes. Replacing standard bubbles with nano bubbles inserted directly through the electrode significantly increases coagulation efficiency by directly
removing the coagulated sludge from the space between the electrodes , while preventing electrode clobbering . Feeding micro bubbles from the bottom into the space between the electrodes leads to additional floating , increasing the speed and effi ciency of the process . Dosing micro-nano bubbles reduces operating costs and reduces the neces sary working volume of the electrode chamber . Additionally , cracking nano bubbles generate ultrasonic waves that mechanically clean all solid surfaces . As a result of the cracking of the nanobubbles , hydroxyl radicals OH ° are formed, which are very strong oxidants , stronger than ozone and atomic oxygen . Hydroxyl radicals decompose both colloidal and dis solved organic substances , thus improving the efficiency of the system and wastewater treatment , where currently the main method of removing such di ssolved pollutants is biological treatment .
In the application no . CN106495372A entitled „Equipment and method for enhanced coagulation and clarification treatment in emergent water supply treatment" Zhou Wenqi , Ye Hui , Liu Shuang, Han Yaqiong , Ji Qinghua , Zhang Pingyun , Jin Lei present a system using electrocoagulation supported by a coagulant and micro-nano bubbles dosed into the entire wastewater for treatment , having the fundamental difference from the invention according to the application in the form of the lack of feeding nano bubble s into the electrode . Thanks to this , the solution according to the invention leads to the additional effect of cleaning the electrodes and eliminating the need to use a large amount of coagulant .
In the application WO2018164480A1 entitled „Electrocoagulation Device" Lee Jin and Han Kyung present a method and device f or the e lectrocoagulation proces s , using stratification of the purified medium and gravity separation . The invention according to the application di ffers from the solution of the above authors in that it does not use stratification to separate the media and feeds liquid saturated with bubbles inside the electrode .
In the application US2014183058A1 entitled „Methods for enhanced electrocoagulation processing using membrane aeration" Wiemers Reginald, Kohlheb Robert and Zahn Peter present a a method of preparing water for treatment using membrane filtrati on . In the solution according to the invention, there is no need to use such a process to prepare the water for treatment and aerat ion is carried out using micro nano-bubbles fed inside the electrode .
In the application CN110655205A entitled „Treatment technology of high-hardness industrial wastewater" Dai Zengtao pres ents a solution based on saturating hard water with micro-nano bubbles before directing it to the electrocoagulation process so that the ions formed during the process lead to the precipitation of , among others , iron . The solution according to the invention use s only part of the puri fied water stream, which is saturated with micro- nano bubbles that are selectively fed directly into the ele ctrode and from the bottom of the chamber, reducing the energy consumption of the proces s .
The main aim of the solution according to the invention is to improve the e f ficiency and reduce the size of wastewater treatment systems using electrocoagulation and flotation with particular emphasis on improving the process , reducing its operating and investment costs . The solutions known so far use macro bubbles of 1-3 mm to clean the space between the electrodes in the electrocoagulation proces s , while in the flotation process micro bubbles >10 pm are used only to ensure flotation after adding polyelectrolyte . The solution according to the submitted invention is focused on the feeding of micro and nano bubbles at the electrocoagulation stage , with the stream divided into micro and nano bubbles separately . Micro bubbles are dosed with treated water saturated with them into the wastewater that flows into the electrocoagulation and flows between electrodes specially designed for this purpose , while nano bubbles are fed with treated water saturated with them through the electrode . The micro bubbles
fed have a si ze from 10pm to 100pm and the nano bubbles from lO Onm to 500nm . Nano bubbles are responsible for the advanced exudation proces s , i . e . mainly using hydroxyl radicals formed as a result of the collapse of nano bubbles and for shortening the coagul ation process of the molecule and then , after absorbing micro bubbles , removing the colloid f rom the space between the electrod es , so that the ef ficiency of the electrode operation increases and the electrode surface area can be reduced by approximately 10 % . Absorption of macro bubbles by colloids is not possible due to their high lift velocity , which results in a short contac t time of the bubble with the molecule . The wastewater prepared i n this way is fed directly into the flotator where the sludge is r emoved by a scraper . Separating micro and nano bubbles and feedin g nano bubbles directly to the electrode makes the coagulation and flotation proces s more ef ficient .
The most significant cost in the electrocoagulation proc es s is electricity consumption and electrode wear and tear . The use of the solution according to the invention reduces elect ricity consumption by approximately 20% and al so reduces electrode wear and tear by approximately 10% . Thanks to improved ope ration efficiency of the electrodes and improved their cleaning, it is pos sible to use electrodes with up to 13% les s surface area .

The proposed system is a favourable solution for any wastewater containing significant amounts of suspended solids and colloids , which in a standard solution require significant amounts of chemicals or, due to the significant amounts of colloids , standard electrocoagulation is difficult .

oxidation of problematic wastewater, which, combined with the electrocoagulation process in single device, gives very beneficial and non-obvious effects.
