Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sulfur dioxide recovery and resource utilization, and relates to a SO2 resource recovery system and method based on liquid flow battery regeneration cycle. Background Art
[0002] The non-ferrous metals industry typically uses metal sulfides as its primary raw material. The smelting process produces large amounts of sulfur-laden flue gas, severely impacting the natural environment and public health. To address this high-concentration sulfur-laden flue gas, non-ferrous metallurgical companies typically employ a two-conversion, two-absorption process to convert sulfur dioxide in the flue gas into sulfur trioxide, which is then produced as sulfuric acid. However, this process carries high operating costs and energy consumption for materials such as catalysts. Traditional dry and wet desulfurization methods also continuously and significantly consume lime, which is then converted into gypsum. All of these methods suffer from high material and energy consumption and a low input-output ratio.
[0003] In the 1980s, General Atomics (GA) in the United States proposed an iodine-sulfur cycle technology. This technology includes the Bunsen reaction (I2 + SO2 + 2H2O → H2SO4 + 2HI), hydrogen iodide decomposition (2HI → H2 + I2), and sulfuric acid decomposition (H2SO4 → SO2 + 0.5O2 + H2O). These three reactions form a closed loop and can produce H2. Zhejiang University built on this and proposed an open-loop iodine-sulfur cycle technology, replacing the sulfuric acid decomposition process with a sulfuric acid concentration process, thereby achieving the coupling of SO2 resource recovery and H2 production. These technologies fully consider the material cycle in the SO2 resource recovery process, achieving product economy and low drug consumption. However, the process is still energy-intensive and does not fully consider energy recovery and utilization in SO2 resource recovery. Patent CN115159466A discloses a method for recycling SO2 flue gas. This method utilizes the catalytic capacity of sulfur-containing activated carbon to disproportionate sulfite into sulfur and bisulfate at 50°C. Patent CN115159467A discloses the use of ammonia to absorb SO2 and, under the action of a catalyst, convert sulfite into sulfur and bisulfate. While these patents provide methods for disproportionating SO2 into bisulfate and sulfur, they suffer from catalytic rate limitations, harsh reaction conditions, and difficult phase separation. There is still a need for a SO2 recycling technology with low material and energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In the 1980s, Professors Remick and Ang of Georgia Institute of Technology first proposed the concept of a sodium polysulfide / bromine flow battery. By the early 1990s, Regenesys had developed a practical sodium polysulfide / bromine flow battery. This flow battery system uses NaBr and Na2S2 as the positive and negative electrolytes, respectively, and a sodium ion exchange membrane as the separator. The following reactions occur during charge and discharge in a sodium polysulfide / bromine flow battery:
[0033] Charging reaction positive electrode process: 2Br - →2Br 0 +2e -

The sulfur dioxide in flue gas is tetravalent sulfur, which has the potential to adjust its valence state. The electron gain and loss associated with the sulfur atom's valence state transition will generate some usable electrical energy. This conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy is expected to provide new ideas for the high-value utilization of sulfur dioxide. Consider the following two reactions:

Anything not described in detail in the following examples can be achieved by conventional experimental means in the art.
[0064] Example 1:
[0065] A SO2 resource recovery system and method based on liquid flow battery regeneration cycle, the specific steps are as follows:
[0066] In this example, an electrochemical reaction device with a volume of 500 mL was first built, using a mesh porous graphite sheet as the electrode material with a pore size of 0.05 mm, a porosity of 75%, and a resistivity of 1.0×10 -3 Ω·m, with a thickness of 10mm. The positive and negative electrodes of the reaction system are separated by a Nafion 117 perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane. The membrane is 200μm thick, has a conductivity of 0.08S / cm, and an exchange capacity of 0.92meq / g. The solutions in the positive and negative electrodes are connected by the membrane, with a distance of 4cm between the positive and negative electrodes and the membrane, respectively.
[0067] 200mL of bromine water and 1.0mol / L sulfuric acid were added to the positive electrode; 200mL of 1.0mol / L sulfuric acid was added to the negative electrode, and a 20% SO2 gas was continuously introduced into the negative electrode at a flow rate of 4L / h. As SO2 neared saturation, an open-circuit voltage of 0.6-1.0V was observed at the positive and negative electrodes of the device, and a current of 20-40mA / cm3 was detected in the circuit. 2 The current density was 2.5 volts. After 30 hours of discharge, the current reading gradually dropped to 0, and the positive electrode region turned from brown to colorless. 80 mL of 2.0 mol / L sulfuric acid solution was collected from the negative electrode region. The efficiency of SO2 conversion to sulfuric acid reached 90%, and the efficiency of chemical energy conversion to electrical energy reached 93%.
[0068] After this example, an electrochemical reaction device with a volume of 500 mL was built, using a mesh porous graphite sheet as the electrode material, with a pore size of 0.05 mm, a porosity of 75%, and a resistivity of 1.0×10 -3 Ω·m, with a thickness of 10mm. The positive and negative electrodes of the reaction system are separated by a Nafion 117 perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane. The membrane is 200μm thick, has a conductivity of 0.08S / cm, and an exchange capacity of 0.92meq / g. The solutions in the positive and negative electrodes are connected by the membrane, with a distance of 4cm between the positive and negative electrodes and the membrane, respectively.
[0069] 200mL of 1.0mol / L sulfuric acid solution was added to the positive electrode, and a 20% SO2 gas was continuously introduced at a SO2 flow rate of 2L / h. 200mL of 1.0mol / L sodium sulfide solution was added to the negative electrode. As SO2 neared saturation, an open-circuit voltage of 0.2-0.4V was observed at the positive and negative electrodes of the device, and a current of 1-3mA / cm3 was detected in the circuit. 2 The current density was 1.5 liters, indicating that the galvanic reaction was proceeding spontaneously and that the chemical energy was being released as electrical energy. After 120 hours of discharge, the current reading gradually dropped to 0, and the amount of yellow solid gradually increased. At this point, 2.5 g of solid sulfur was obtained from the positive electrode, indicating an 80% efficiency in converting SO2 to sulfur and an 85% efficiency in converting chemical energy to electrical energy.
