ELECTROLYTIC CELL WITH ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS

摘要

An apparatus and method for electrolytically treating water which can include the influent inlet arrangements for cavitation and one or more pairs of electrodes. The electrodes can be suitable for a continuous anodic and cathodic operation for treating water. The pressurized influent premixed with oxidant gas, such as, but not limited to, Ozone or Oxygen can be pumped into the reactor vessel through the mixing nozzles preferably arranged radially along the circumference. A power source for each reactor provides voltage and current to the electrodes. The controller maintains the voltage and current to the electrode. The duration of each voltage polarity applied to each electrode can be preferably the same. The polarity of the voltage to the electrode can be periodically reversed at a set interval.

1. A system for treatment of an influent, said system comprising:
an electrochemical cell reactor defining a treatment area within, said treatment area having a first end and a second end and said treatment area cylindrically shaped from said first end to said second end: one or more rod electrodes operatively disposed within said treatment area of said electro-chemical cell reactor, a first end of each of said one or more rod electrodes extending outward and externally located with respect to said electro-chemical cell reactor at the first end of the treatment area, each of said one or more rod electrodes having, a polarity, said first ends of said one or more rod electrodes assembled in a circular array, each of said one or more rod electrodes having an unsupported second end disposed within the treatment area and terminating prior to reaching the second end of the treatment area. said second end of each rod electrode disposed within the treatment area without contacting any portion of the electro-chemical cell reactor wall, each of said rod electrodes having a circular cross-sectional shape; a manifold located external to the electro-chemical cell reactor, said manifold having an internal passageway, a plurality of pipes, each of said plurality of pipes having a first end and a second end and having an internal passageway extending from the first end to the second end, the first end of each of said plurality of pipes connected to the manifold such that the manifold internal passageway is in communication with the internal passageway of each of said plurality of pipes outside of electro-chemical cell reactor; a plurality of inlet nozzles, each of said plurality of inlet nozzles secured to the second end of a corresponding pipe of said plurality of said pipes. each of said nozzles haying an outer outlet end that is disposed within the treatment area of the electro-chemical cell reactor for delivering influent under high pressure into the treatment area, said nozzles pointed towards a center area of the treatment area to create random turbulence; and at least one power supply in electrical communication with said one or more rod Electrodes, wherein said at lest one power supply having alternating polarity such that said one or more electrodes are either positive anodes or negative cathodes depending on the polarity of the at least one power supply.
