Wet treatment methods have been known as a method for treating sulfur oxides such as sulfur dioxide in the flue gas emitted when oil or coal is burned, such as in oil-fired power plants or coal-fired power plants. . However, this method requires a large amount of pure water for treatment.
Further, there are disadvantages in that the purity of the gypsum produced as a by-product is poor, and that the wastewater after treatment contains a large amount of various harmful substances.

In the present invention, SO 2 obtained as described above is placed in an electrolytic cell together with water and electrolyzed to convert it into hydrogen and sulfuric acid. Advantageously, this electrolytic reaction proceeds at a lower voltage than that required in general water electrolysis. In another method of the present invention, water and halogen are added to the above SO 2 and reacted to generate hydrogen halide and sulfuric acid, and then the hydrogen halide is thermally decomposed to convert it into hydrogen and halogen. Halogens are reusable. In the above, the halogen is preferably iodine (I 2 ) or bromine (Br 2 ).

More preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In the method of generating hydrogen by electrolysis of the present invention, if an inert gas is not used when desorbing SO 2 adsorbed on an adsorbent, but steam is used instead, this can then be directly subjected to an electrolytic reaction. The desorption step using an inert gas can be omitted, which simplifies the process accordingly.

In the latter method of the present invention, water vapor and halogen vapor are added to SO 2 adsorbed on an adsorbent, and a reaction of SO 2 +2H 2 O+X 2 →2HX+H 2 SO 4 is carried out on the adsorbent such as activated carbon. When this is then heated to 350-400°C and desorbed, HX is decomposed by the catalytic action of activated carbon and can be converted into hydrogen and halogen.
According to this method, there is no need to use an inert gas, and the desorption of SO 2 can be performed integrally with the generation of HX and the thermal decomposition reaction, thereby further simplifying the process.
