[ problem ] to
The consumption of plates and the cost problem associated with them are a disadvantage for the electroflocculation process. Iron or aluminum plates are generally used as sacrificial anodes in the electrocoagulation treatment, and anodes made of the materials are also generally more easily corroded in the water treatment process, and excessive release of metal ions occurs in the electrocoagulation process, so that the electrode plates are rapidly consumed and unnecessarily worn, and the service life of the electrode plates is shortened. Therefore, the protection of the electric flocculation anode plate is realized, the corrosion resistance is improved to reduce unnecessary loss, and the service life of the anode is prolonged, which becomes a direction worthy of research.

The anode plates obtained in example 1 and comparative examples 1 and 2 were subjected to an open circuit potential test, an EIS test, and a tafel test; the open circuit potential test comprises the following specific steps: A0.1M sulfuric acid solution is used as a test electrolyte, the test time is 1h, and an electrochemical workstation three-electrode system is used for testing (the working electrode is an anode plate (1.5 multiplied by 1 multiplied by 0.1cm) obtained in example 1 and comparative examples 1 and 2, and a platinum sheet electrode (1.5 multiplied by 0.1cm) and a saturated silver/silver chloride electrode are respectively used as a counter electrode and a reference electrode); details of EIS testingThe method comprises the following steps: using a 0.1M sulfuric acid solution as the test electrolyte, the frequency range of EIS measurements was 5mHz to 80kHz, the amplitude was 10mV, and the EIS data were fitted using ZSimp Win 3.20d fitting software (princeton application study); the tafel test comprises the following specific steps: the initial potential and the terminal potential of the Tafel test are-650 mV and 50mV respectively, and the scanning speed is 10mV s-1The electrolyte was a 0.1M sulfuric acid solution.
FIG. 1 shows SS, Pani/MoO4 2-Pani/BTA and Pani/PTS modified anode plates in 0.1M sulfuric acid solution. As can be seen from fig. 1: for bare steel SS, an initial potential of-209 mV was observed, followed by a sharp drop to a steady state of-551 mV after a short soak time. In contrast, the initial potential of all Pani coatings was 168mV (Pani/MoO), respectively4 2-) 56mV (Pani/BTA) and-57 mV (Pani/PTS), significantly larger than bare steel SS.

Example 2
The Pani/MoO of example 1 was used4 2-The method is used for treating electroplating wastewater by electric flocculation (the process is shown as figure 5), and comprises the following steps:
a304 stainless steel electrode plate (10X 6X 0.2cm) is used as a working electrode, a platinum sheet electrode (1.5X 0.1cm) is used as a counter electrode, a saturated silver/silver chloride electrode is used as a reference electrode, and constant potential electropolymerization of 1200s is carried out in polyaniline/molybdate electrolyte (the concentration of aniline is 0.20M, and the concentration of sodium molybdate is 0.05M) at an oxidation potential of 0.95V, so that Pani/MoO is prepared4 2-And modifying the anode plate.
Subsequently, Pani/MoO4 2-Modifying the anode plate as anode, aluminum plate as cathode, and treating at initial pH of 5, treatment time of 60min and current density of 35mA cm-2Carrying out an electrocoagulation reaction under the condition of (1); copper and chromium were removed.
Example 3
As shown in Table 5, the pH in example 2 was adjusted so that the reaction time was 50min and the current density was 30mA cm-2Otherwise, the electrocoagulation treatment was carried out in accordance with example 2.
As can be seen from tables 5 and 6: at an initial pH of 5, the removal rate of heavy metals is highest, and the removal rates of copper and chromium can reach 99.99% and 81%, while at low pH (1 and 2), the metal removal efficiency is low due to insufficient accumulation of metal hydroxides. The corrosion inhibition efficiency decreases slowly with increasing initial pH because bare steel surfaces are more susceptible to attack under strong acid conditions, which increases the weight loss of the anode compared to neutral and weak acid conditions. Under strong acid condition, the polyaniline coating can effectively inhibit the corrosion of the plate and ensure the limited iron ion dissolution, thereby having higher corrosion inhibition efficiency.

Example 4
The reaction time in adjusting example 2 was as shown in Table 7, and the initial pH was 5 and the current density was 30mA cm-2Otherwise, the electrocoagulation treatment was carried out in accordance with example 2.
As can be seen from tables 7 and 8: as the reaction time increases, the removal rate of both copper and chromium increases because the anode produces more metal hydroxide as the reaction proceeds, thereby increasing the metal removal efficiency. The modified anodes reached maximum 99.99% and 84% removal within 80min, respectively, with results similar to uncoated steel anodes, which also demonstrated that the coated anodes did not affect the removal of heavy metals. The corrosion inhibition efficiency is obviously reduced along with the reaction and then tends to be stable, which is consistent with the protective performance of the coating. In view of running cost, a reaction time of 60min is preferable.

Example 5
Current density in example 2 was adjusted as shown in Table 9, the initial pH was 5, the reaction time was 60min, and the electrocoagulation treatment was carried out in conformity with example 2.
As can be seen from tables 9 and 10: from 5 to 40mA cm with increasing current density-2The removal efficiency of the heavy metal ions is obviously improved. The corrosion inhibition efficiency tends to decrease with increasing current density, since further increasing current density promotes electrochemical dissolution of the steel anode Fe ions. Under the condition of low current density, the modified anode Pani coating has better corrosion inhibition performance on the anode. With the gradual increase of the current density, the impact of Fe ions on the Fe-Pani interface is gradually enhanced, the protective performance is slightly reduced, and then the Fe-Pani interface tends to be stable. The differences and trends in Cr removal for bare steel anodes and modified anodes are similar due to the corrosion inhibition of the modified anodes, which limits Fe release at lower current densities. In addition, more agglomerates are required for Cr removal than for Cu removal, thereby expanding the difference in Cr and Cu removal efficiency. Considering that an excessive current increases power consumption, a current density of 35mA cm is selected-2The current density of (1).
