A New Reactor for Industrial Organic Electrosynthesis
The Pulsated Percolated Porous Electrode reactor (E3P), designed for heavy metals recovery from industrial waste waters, has been successfully adapted to some organic electrosynthesis applications. This is possible because of the high electrode surface areas and good transfer coefficients that can be obtained by this process. An industrial organic electrosynthesis pilot plant has been built following the principles of the initial laboratory scale reactor. The indirect oxidation of cyclohexanol in an aqueous solution and the reduction of acetophenone in a two phase liquid - liquid medium are studied. The results show the capacities and flexibility of this new reactor for applications in the industrial organic synthesis field.
