Sulfuric acid production with mineral carbon sequestration

A system that couples sulfuric acid production to mineral carbon sequestration, the system comprising:

• an electrolyzer stack of one or more electrochemical cells comprising:
• an anode within an anode chamber containing an anolyte,
• a cathode within a cathode chamber containing a catholyte, and
• an anion exchange membrane separating the anode and cathode chambers;
• a mineralized carbonate production reactor configured to receive a hydroxide solution from the cathode chamber, to generate mineralized carbonate from a sulfate feedstock and CO2, and to return some or all of the reactor solution to the cathode chamber;
• and
• a sulfuric acid recovery module configured to receive sulfuric acid from the anode chamber.
