Application of titanium carbide/porous carbon composite in electrochemical treatment of uranium-containing wastewater
The present disclosure provides an application of a titanium carbide/porous carbon composite in electrochemical treatment of uranium-containing wastewater, and belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment. The present disclosure provides the application of the titanium carbide/porous carbon composite in electrochemical treatment of uranium-containing wastewater. Titanium carbide (TiC) is a typical transition metal carbide and has good conductivity and excellent chemical stability; compared with a titanium dioxide/carbon nanomaterial, the titanium carbide/porous carbon composite has a rich pore structure that provides a large number of activated adsorption sites for adsorption of metal ions during electro-adsorption, so that the electro-adsorption efficiency can be substantially improved, and a better electro-adsorption effect is obtained.

ULTRASONIC SPRAY APPARATUS THAT BLOCKS AIR CONTACT TO PREVENT CHANGES IN PROPERTIES OF IONIZED WATER
An ultrasonic spray apparatus is configured to minimize contact between bubbles, which are generated due to ultrasonic excitation, and ionized water when the bubbles are discharged. The ultrasonic spray apparatus is configured so that a discharge pipe is installed to start from a bottom or a side surface of an accommodation space storing ionized water and protrude above the ionized water filled in the accommodation space. The bubbles are able to be discharged into the accommodation space through the discharge pipe. Changes in properties of the ionized water may be prevented. The properties of the ionized water may be utilized as they are. The discharge of the bubbles is possible even when anyone of the branched portions is blocked, and interference with a flow of the bubbles is prevented in advance even when water drops or the like generated inside the accommodation space block any one of the branched portions.
