Abstract
The impact of ship emissions on the environment cannot be ignored and should be controlled. The possibility of applying seawater electrolysis technology and a novel amide absorbent (BAD, C(12)H(25)NO) to the simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of ship exhaust gas is entirely confirmed by using various seawater resources. Concentrated seawater (CSW) with high salinity can effectively reduce the heat generated during electrolysis and the escape of chlorine. The initial pH of the absorbent can greatly affect the NO removal capacity of the system, and the BAD could keep the pH range suitable for NO oxidation in the system for a long time. The use of fresh seawater (FSW) to dilute the electrolysis of concentrated seawater (ECSW) to make an aqueous oxidant is a more reasonable scheme; the average removal efficiencies of SO(2), NO, and NOx were 97.10%, 75.41%, and 74.28%, respectively. The synergistic effect of HCO(3) (-)/CO(3) (2-) and BAD was shown to further restrict NO(2) escape.
