The invention discloses a method and a device for desulfurizing the
tail gas of a ship engine by an electrolytic method by using sea water. The method comprises the following steps of: feeding ship fume from which dust is removed into a first channel of a gas-to-gas
heat exchanger, reducing temperature, and allowing the ship fume to flow through an absorption
tower; performing
electrolysis on natural sea water by using
electrolysis chlorine producing equipment to produce a
sodium hypochlorite sea water solution; pumping the
sodium hypochlorite sea water solution into the absorption
tower by a spraying pump in a certain liquid-gas ratio, forming
fog drops in the
tower, and allowing the
fog drops to flow in a direction which is reverse to that of the fume to remove SO2; and discharging the desulfurized fume by a second channel of the gas-to-gas
heat exchanger and a
chimney. According to the method for desulfurizing the
tail gas, the
sodium hypochlorite sea water solution produced by the performing
electrolysis on the sea water is used as adsorbent and replaces the original natural sea water. The
sodium hypochlorite sea water solution oxidizes the
sulfite ions dissolved in the sea water into
sulfate radicals, so that the speed of absorbing
sulfur dioxide by the sea water is improved. An
aeration basin in the prior art is eliminated, the SO2
absorption rate of each unit of the sea water is improved simultaneously, the size of the absorption tower is greatly reduced, and a sea water desulfurizing process is applied to a ship.
