Description

Water treatment recovery device based on metal-air battery and method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a water treatment recovery device based on a metal-air battery and a method thereof.
Background
In recent years, the development of new sustainable water treatment technologies is a research hotspot in the field of water pollution control. The key point is how to realize the high-efficiency recovery of potential nutrient elements such as ammonia nitrogen, phosphate and the like in the wastewater and effectively remove refractory organic matters in the wastewater. The ammonia nitrogen and the phosphate are key indexes for controlling water pollution and are main reasons for causing water eutrophication, and meanwhile, the ammonia nitrogen and the phosphate are important chemical fertilizers or raw materials in the agricultural and chemical industries. Therefore, if high-concentration nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater are efficiently recovered, sustainable development of wastewater treatment can be realized. Extensive research has been carried out in the chemical industry and the industry aiming at the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater, and a great deal of innovation and progress are obtained. Among the most widely studied methods are: magnesium ammonium phosphate coprecipitation method. The method realizes the synchronous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater by adding the magnesium salt into the wastewater containing nitrogen and phosphorus and regulating and controlling the process. Meanwhile, magnesium ammonium phosphate is commonly called struvite, is an excellent slow-release fertilizer, has excellent fertilizer efficiency, is an important target product for recycling nitrogen and phosphorus resources, and has higher economic value. In addition, for the wastewater only containing high phosphate, iron ions are added to generate ferric phosphate crystallization products, and the ferric phosphate crystallization products are finally recovered in a form of vivianite, so that the method has wide prospects in phosphate recovery due to the special mineral dye. However, this method requires a large amount of foreign metal salt substances, a large amount of added chemicals, continuous manual input, and regular maintenance, and thus, in order to improve the metal salt adding efficiency, patent application No. 201610259921.9 proposes that metal ions are added electrochemically. Corrosive metals can release metal cations into a solution under the action of current, but the whole system of the device still needs additional electric energy to meet the continuous reaction; xi Chen et al (Self-stabilizing advanced water treatment and simultaneous anaerobic in situ recovery in a novel biochemical system, Chem Eng J,2017, 692) propose that the microbial fuel cell technology is adopted to remove organic matters and simultaneously recover ammonia nitrogen and phosphate in liquid form through an anion-cation membrane arranged in the cell, and under the condition of not adding electric energy and chemical agents, nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater are efficiently recovered, organic pollutants are effectively removed, and simultaneously electric energy can be generated. However, the microbial fuel cell is limited by the inherent conditions of microbes, is sensitive to the environmental temperature and water quality conditions, particularly takes organic matters in wastewater as main fuel, and if the organic matters in the wastewater are not biodegradable or have strong biological toxicity, the electricity generation performance of a cell system is greatly influenced. Meanwhile, if the wastewater contains less organic matters or no organic matters, the microbial fuel cell cannot remove nitrogen and phosphorus; in addition, the patent (application No. 201510372998.2) realizes the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus in the aquaculture wastewater and simultaneously generates electric energy by using a seawater battery, and obtains higher recovery effect. However, the seawater battery only aims at nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater, and cannot effectively remove potential other organic matters in the wastewater.
Therefore, based on the defects in the conventional research, it is urgently needed to develop a water treatment and resource recovery device which can realize self-supply of electric energy and does not need to add foreign chemical substances in the treatment process aiming at the complex water quality of nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matters and the like in the wastewater.
