【 摘 要 】
Electrochemical treatment is an environmentally friendly method of removing pollutants from industrial wastewater, and tubular electrochemical reactor is one kind of electrochemical reactor. However, the flow field on the electrode surface in a traditional concentric tubular reactor is not homogeneous, leading to low treatment efficiency of the reactors. Therefore, a new tubular electrochemical reactor based on spiral flow caused by a turbulence promoter is presented. In this work, fluid flow and hydrodynamics of the new tubular electrochemical reactor using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method are studied by comparing them to the traditional one. The electro-oxidation of methylene blue simulation wastewater treatment was developed to analyze the processing efficiency of the two types of electrochemical reactors. In the new tubular electrochemical reactor, due to the presence of spiral turbulence promoter, the mean flow rate and turbulent intensity were clearly increased by 500-700% and nearly 200% compared to that of the traditional one, respectively. Under the same inlet-velocity, the removal rates of wastewater in the new tubular electrochemical reactor were also improved.
