Abstract
The electrosynthesis of alkene oxides (and glycols) from alkene gases by direct oxidation or by indirect oxidation using a suitable redox mediator generated anodically in a sieve plate electrochemical reactor is described. In the former case this can be achieved using a stainless steel anode in a caustic electrolyte. In the latter case this is achieved using a graphite anode for the generation of either chlorine or bromine. Data for the pilot scale operation of the systhesis is reported. Influence of parameters such as current density and temperature are described. A mathematical model of the unit is developed, based on a dynamic CSTR.
