Abstract
The present disclosure includes a system and method for producing a first product from a first region of an electrochemical cell having a cathode and a second product from a second region of the electrochemical cell having an anode. The method may include a step of contacting the first region with a catholyte comprising carbon dioxide, producing a first product which may include carbon monoxide or an alkli metal formate. The method may include another step of contacting the second region with an anolyte comprising a sulfur-based reactant and producing a second product including oxygen and sulfur dioxide. Further, the method may include a step for introducing the separated oxygen from second region of the electrochemical cell with a hydrogen sulfide stream in a catalyst reactor bed, converting the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide may then be liquefied as a product, or a portion of the sulfur dioxide may be recycled to the second region of the electrochemical cell where it may be converted to sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid may then be reacted with another reactant, such as ammonia, to produce an ammonium sulfate product.
