This invention proposes a method and
system for capturing SO2 using a dual-
cell system. The method involves a dual-
cell system consisting of an acid
cell and an alkaline cell connected in series. AgCl / Sb is used as the positive and negative electrodes of the acid cell, and SbOCl / Ag is used as the positive and negative electrodes of the alkaline cell. An
aqueous solution containing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole
chloride and
sodium acetate is used as the
electrolyte for a
galvanic cell reaction. The
electrolyte produced by the alkaline cell is continuously recycled back to the acid cell through an
electrolyte storage tank. Then, the electrolyte produced by the acid cell is continuously recycled back to the alkaline cell through a vacuum stripper, thus achieving SO2 capture. This invention utilizes the
electromotive force difference generated between the positive and negative electrodes of the dual-
cell system to control the pH value of the electrolyte, thereby achieving
selective adsorption and capture of SO2 in
flue gas. It requires no chemical additives, is easy to implement, has no side reactions, no
raw material waste or secondary
pollution, low operating costs, and high electronic efficiency, showing promising application prospects.
