Description

Self-supporting electrocatalytic oxidation-microbial fuel cell coupling system and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrochemical water treatment, in particular to a self-supporting electrocatalytic oxidation-microbial fuel cell coupling system and application thereof.
Background
At present, printing and dyeing and related industries become a large household for discharging industrial wastewater in China, and according to statistics, the wastewater discharge amount of the national printing and dyeing and related industries is about 3 × 106~4×106m3And d. The dye wastewater has the characteristics of high COD value, high chromaticity, high salt content, high toxicity, easy carcinogenesis and difficult biodegradation, so the dye wastewater becomes a difficult point for industrial wastewater treatment. The dye can be classified according to chemical structure (mainly according to the structure of a conjugated system contained in the dye) and can be divided into: azo dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, anthraquinone dyes, cyanine dyes, indigoid dyes, arylmethane dyes, nitro dyes, nitroso dyes, and the like, and among these, azo dyes are most widely used.
The dye wastewater is characterized in that: (1) high COD concentration, low BOD/COD value and poor biodegradability. The COD concentration of water is high due to the lost dye in the dye production process, the biodegradation capability is very low due to the self type and structural complexity of the dye, and the conventional biological treatment technology is difficult to treat. (2) Large color and complex composition. The dyes and intermediates produced by dye plants are of various varieties, have large variation of pH value, develop towards photolysis resistance, oxidation resistance and biological oxidation resistance, and are difficult to find a uniform method, thereby causing the technical difficulty of treatment.
The biggest treatment difficulty of dye wastewater is the removal of wastewater chromaticity and the treatment of the difficultly biodegradable organic matters in water. The treatment mechanism is roughly divided into two types: (1) enrichment of the chromogenic substance: the waste water can be treated by adopting the adsorbent, so that the chromogenic substances in the water are enriched, the waste water is decolorized, and then the waste adsorbent is subjected to advanced treatment; (2) direct destruction of the chromonic material: the wastewater is directly subjected to physical and chemical or biological treatment, so that chromophoric groups of dye organic matters in the wastewater are destroyed, and the color of the wastewater is removed.
The main treatment methods reported in the current research include chemical methods, physical methods and biological methods. (1) The common physical methods mainly include filtration, precipitation, air flotation, extraction, membrane separation, etc. In the pretreatment process of the wastewater, a physical method is mostly adopted, and pollutants are enriched or some solid pollutants in the water are separated, but some organic pollutants with high solubility in the water are difficult to remove. In addition, the physical methods mostly perform pollutant transfer rather than degradation elimination. (2) The chemical method is mainly characterized in that some chemical substances are added into the polluted water body, and the purpose of purifying the water body is achieved by the reaction of the chemical substances and the water body pollutants. Common chemical methods are neutralization, flocculation, oxidation, reduction, and the like. Although the method can achieve a good water treatment effect, the cost is high, secondary pollution is caused to water due to addition of chemical substances, and the method does not accord with the current green and clean principle. (3) The biological method mainly depends on the metabolism of microorganisms to remove organic pollutants in the wastewater. Common biological methods mainly comprise an aerobic activated sludge method, an anaerobic sludge method, a biological membrane, biological enzymes and combination of various biological methods. Biological methods have been studied for the longest time and have been widely used in the field of domestic sewage because of their low cost and good treatment effect on biodegradable sewage. However, the method has the disadvantages of long time consumption, large occupied area and poor treatment effect on some high-toxicity wastewater which is difficult to biodegrade.
Therefore, electrocatalytic oxidation technology and microbial fuel cell technology are attracting attention because of their particular advantages. The electrocatalytic oxidation technology for organic matters refers to a method for achieving the effect of degrading pollutants by utilizing the organic matters to carry out direct electron gain-loss reaction on the surface of an electrode or utilizing various active free radical substances (represented by HO & free radicals) generated in the electrochemical process to oxidize and remove the organic matters. The electrocatalytic oxidation water treatment technology is a green water treatment technology, does not need chemical agents to be added, does not generate sludge, is simple in equipment and operation, mild in reaction process, can be flexibly matched with other technologies, can realize on-site treatment, and is suitable for the sewage treatment process with small sewage discharge scale. However, electrocatalytic oxidation techniques also present some major problems in engineering applications: 1) the catalytic efficiency is low; 2) the mass transfer effect is poor; 3) the energy consumption is high. In view of these characteristics, electrocatalytic oxidation technology is widely used in pretreatment processes for nonbiodegradable organic wastewater to improve the biodegradability of wastewater.
Microbial fuelThe fuel cell (MFC) is a promising energy recovery technology, and its working principle is that organic matters are catalytically degraded by anode microorganisms, and chemical energy can be converted into electric energy in the degradation process, so that it is a clean energy technology. The application direction of the method mainly comprises the fields of bioremediation, biosensors, wastewater treatment, nanoelectronics and biomedicine. Among them, wastewater treatment is recognized as the most promising field of application for microbial fuel cells. Among the main treatment processes in sewage plants, activated sludge processes and biofilters are the most common core technologies for sewage treatment. The advantages of microbial fuel cells over these traditional bioprocessing technologies are: (1) MFC technology can produce electric energy while processing the waste water; (2) the MFC technology greatly reduces the generation of excess sludge; (3) the use of MFC technology avoids the release of malodours into the environment. In addition, the economic benefits of MFC technology are also superior to typical activated sludge processes. Taking domestic sewage as an example, the electric energy of 0.65 kW.h/m can be obtained by adopting MFC to treat the domestic sewage3. The wastewater treatment by the typical activated sludge method needs 0.2-0.4 kwh/m3The electric energy of (1). Despite the outstanding advantages, the characteristics of the dye wastewater still make the MFC system face the characteristics of microbial acclimation, long start-up time, poor treatment effect and the like when the MFC system is treated.

And after the third stage, the system enters a stable operation stage, and the output voltage is finally stabilized at 0.55 +/-0.05 mV, which indicates that the electrogenic microorganisms adapt to the characteristics of actual wastewater.
When the MFC runs stably, 4 MFC devices are connected in parallel, the generated electric energy is collected by the electric energy storage-regulation module and fed back and output to the electrocatalytic oxidation degradation module, and the normal running of the electrocatalytic oxidation degradation process is maintained;
the COD content of the final effluent of the microbial fuel cell stack module is 59 mg/L, and the removal rate is 86%.
The electrocatalytic oxidation degradation module in the coupling system provided by the invention can improve the biodegradability of dye wastewater, namely, the structural damage (decoloration process) and toxicity reduction of macromolecular organic matters in the wastewater are completed, and the subsequent treatment of a microbial fuel cell Module (MFC) is facilitated. The microbial fuel cell module can remove COD in the wastewater to make the wastewater reach the standard and discharge the wastewater. In addition, the microbial fuel cell battery module can also stably generate electricity, and the electricity is supplied to the electrocatalytic oxidation degradation module through the electric energy storage-regulation module, so that self-sustaining is realized.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
