Abstract

In this study, removal Of SO2 absorbed into sulfuric acid solution from simulated flue gases was studied on Pt expanded mesh anode as three dimensional packed bed electrode in a batch mode. The conversion of the gaseous impurity can be considered as the main performance criterion. The effects of the parameters such as current density, gas flow rate, and initial SO2 concentration were determined. The energy consumptions of the system were also evaluated.
