Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a method for one-step conversion of aluminum electrolysis tail gas into sulfur-nitrogen co-doped composite carbon materials, and belongs to the technical field of pollution gas conversion and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main components of aluminum electrolysis tail gas are carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NO x , mainly NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), as well as a small amount of harmful substances such as HF and dust. The resource utilization of CO2, NO2 and SO2 and other greenhouse gases and acid gases in aluminum electrolysis tail gas not only can reduce the total carbon emission and alleviate the emission pressure of pollutants, but also can give them secondary value and promote the green transformation and resource recycling of the metallurgical industry. Traditional gas purification methods rely on physical adsorption, chemical absorption or catalytic conversion, etc. The equipment is complex, the energy consumption is high, the efficiency is limited, and it is difficult to realize the synchronous treatment and high-value utilization of multiple components.

[0003] As a method for electrochemical conversion of CO2, nitrogen oxides and other gases, molten salt electrolysis has attracted attention due to its high efficiency, energy saving and environmental friendliness. In the process of molten salt electrolysis, gases are reduced to valuable products (such as solid carbon and oxygen or carbon-based fuels) at relatively low temperatures by applying electrical energy, realizing the resource utilization and recycling of carbon. Previous studies have shown that CO2 can form carbonate ions (CO3 2- ) in molten salt, which can be reduced to carbon deposits through electrochemical reduction; NO2 and SO2 can be converted into nitrate (NO3 - ) / nitrite (NO2 - ) and sulfite (SO3 2- ), respectively, as active nitrogen and sulfur sources to participate in doping reactions. However, current research based on molten salt electrolysis mainly focuses on the reduction of a single gas (such as pure CO2) or carbon deposition. In industry, tail gas is usually a mixture of complex components, and the reaction behavior of mixed gases is complex. The competition and synergy of doping components significantly affect the structure and performance of the final product, so it is necessary to systematically study the parameters such as molten salt composition, gas composition and structure inducer required for electrochemical conversion of mixed gases, in order to realize the controllable synthesis of sulfur-nitrogen co-doped composite carbon materials.

[0004] In addition, although traditional molten salt electrolysis method can convert carbon dioxide into carbon materials such as graphite, activated carbon, electrochemical graphene, etc., which have good stability and electrical conductivity, their specific capacity, ion diffusion or surface activity are limited, which is difficult to meet the demand of next-generation high-performance energy storage devices. SUMMARY

[0005] To address existing technical issues such as environmental pollution from industrial tail gas, low resource utilization, and complex carbon material preparation processes, which rely on exogenous dopants, the present invention provides a method for converting aluminum electrolysis tail gas into a sulfur-nitrogen co-doped composite carbon material in one step. Using factory electrolysis tail gas as raw material, the method utilizes molten salt electrolysis to convert the factory electrolysis tail gas into a high-value sulfur-nitrogen co-doped composite carbon material. This method integrates key technologies such as tail gas purification, molten salt system regulation, electrochemical deposition, and morphology induction, achieving in-situ synergistic doping of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur sources and the simultaneous construction of graphite structures, making it suitable for the large-scale preparation of high-performance energy storage materials.
