The invention relates to an electrochemical treatment device and method for degradation-resistant organic 
wastewater, and designs a'zero polar distance' SPE (
Solid Polymer Electrolysis) electrooxidation 
sewage treatment electrolytic bath like a 
solid polymer electrolyte fuel 
cell technology. According to the device, an 
anode chamber and a 
cathode chamber are separated by utilizing an 
ion exchange membrane, the 
anode with stable 
titanium-based size, the 
ion exchange membrane and the 
nickel cathode are pressed by utilizing an end plate, and a'zero polar distance' SPE electrooxidation 
sewage treatment electrolytic bath is formed. When the device is subjected to electrolytic operation, the 
wastewater is electrically oxidized at the 
anode, so that organic matters and 
ammonia nitrogen in the water are mineralized and degraded; and running water or the 
wastewater is introduced into the 
cathode chamber, and 
hydrogen separated out due to 
electrolysis at the cathode is recovered. The device has the advantages that extra 
supporting electrolyte is not needed to be added, the bath pressure and 
energy consumption of electrooxidation can be greatly reduced due to the'zero polar distance', and the problem that 
oxygen (
chlorine) and 
hydrogen separated out in the 
electrolysis process is solved. In addition, a carbon material is not used, reduction of current efficiency caused by 
carbon corrosion is avoided, and the reliability and stability of the 
sewage treatment device are improved. Moreover, continuous 
water flow is utilized at the cathode, and the scaling and plugging possibility on the cathode side of the 
ion exchange membrane can be greatly reduced.
