The application provides a
system and a process for electrochemically capturing CO2, the
system comprising an acid battery, an alkali battery, an
electrolyte storage device and a vacuum stripper; the acid battery comprises a PbCl2 positive
electrode and a Sb negative
electrode, the alkali battery comprises a SbOCl positive
electrode and a Pb negative electrode, the
electrolyte storage device comprises a CO2 gas inlet, and the vacuum stripper comprises a CO2 gas outlet; the
electrolyte storage device is filled with an electrolyte comprising
sodium metaborate and
choline chloride, and the electrolyte storage device, the acid battery, the vacuum stripper and the alkali battery are connected in series to form a circulation loop; after the electrolyte flows out of the electrolyte storage device, it flows back to the electrolyte storage device after passing through the acid battery, the vacuum stripper and the alkali battery. The application is based on the principle of a
primary battery, and can capture CO2 in the
atmosphere by using a small
potential difference without the need for expensive membranes or
chemical addition, is easy to implement, does not cause the formation of by-products, has low
energy consumption, high electronic efficiency, and has a good application prospect.
