Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a full-process process for producing hydrogen and sulfur by electrochemically decomposing hydrogen sulfide assisted by a medium, which belongs to the field of resource conversion and utilization of harmful gases, and also belongs to the field of large-scale hydrogen production from new energy sources. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic and harmful gas that mainly comes from natural gas chemical industry, petrochemical industry and coal chemical industry.

[0003] The most commonly used hydrogen sulfide treatment process in industry at present is the traditional Claus process, which first uses alcohol amine solvents to separate hydrogen sulfide gas, purifies and concentrates it, and then burns it into water and sulfur through chemical oxidation. Sulfur is also recovered during the desulfurization process. In addition, wet desulfurization technology represented by the LO-CAT complex iron process is more suitable for treating tail gas with lower hydrogen sulfide content. Specifically, it uses Fe-containing 3+ The absorption liquid is used to oxidize hydrogen sulfide to generate sulfur, and then the absorption liquid is oxidized with air to regenerate it, and the absorption liquid is recycled and reused. The biggest disadvantage of the current conventional hydrogen sulfide treatment method is that the hydrogen element in the hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to water and cannot be effectively utilized. In order to achieve efficient utilization of resources, energy conservation and emission reduction, and turn waste into treasure, the new technology of treating hydrogen sulfide using electrochemical methods has gradually attracted people's attention. In previous work, we disclosed a method for electrochemical decomposition of hydrogen sulfide assisted by a mediator (CN107815698A, CN111232921A), the reaction conditions are mild, and hydrogen can be generated while generating sulfur.
