Latest Patents
James M DiPalma holds a patent for an "Electrodialytic water splitting process for removing SO.sub.2 from gases." This invention comprises an improved electrodialytic cell and a closed-loop process designed to effectively remove sulfur dioxide (SO.sub.2) from SO.sub.2 containing gases. The process utilizes an aqueous scrubbing medium to extract SO.sub.2 from the gas. It features a two-compartment electrodialytic water splitter and a means for stripping to isolate the SO.sub.2 and regenerate the scrubbing medium. The use of univalent cation selective membranes, along with the recycling of the acid product to the base loop of the water splitter, allows for the treatment of high concentrations of scrubbing solution without significant fouling inside the membranes. This innovative process can be employed either independently or in combination with other methods.
