Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the production of glyoxylic acid by electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid.
- Glyoxylic acid is an important intermediate for the production of technically relevant compounds and can be produced either by a controlled oxidation of glyoxal or by an electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid.
- electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid to glyoxylic acid has long been known and is generally carried out in aqueous, acidic medium, at low temperature, on electrodes with high hydrogen overvoltage, for example on electrodes made of lead, cadmium or mercury, with or without the addition of mineral acids and in the presence an ion exchange membrane carried out (DE-AS 163 842, 292 866, 458 438).
- the object of the present invention is to provide a process for the electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid to glyoxylic acid which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above, in particular has a high selectivity, reaches the lowest possible oxalic acid concentration at the end of the electrolysis and a cathode with a high one Long-term stability used.
- the cathode should be from a technically well available or material to be processed without problems.
- Selectivity is understood to mean the ratio of the amount of glyoxylic acid produced to the total amount of products formed during the electrolysis, namely glyoxylic acid plus by-products, for example glycolic acid, acetic acid and formic acid.
- the object was achieved in that the electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid on cathodes which consist of carbon or at least 50% by weight of at least one of the metals Cu, Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn , AI, Sn and Cr are carried out and the electrolyte is or contains salts of metals with a hydrogen overvoltage of at least 0.25 V at a current density of 2500 A / m 2 .
- the present invention thus relates to a process for the preparation of glyoxylic acid by electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid in aqueous solution in divided or undivided electrolysis cells, characterized in that the cathode is made of carbon or at least 50% by weight of at least one of the metals Cu, Ti , Zr, V, Nb, Ta, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Al, Sn and Cr and the aqueous electrolysis solution in the undivided cells or in the cathode compartment of the divided cells also contains at least one salt of metals with a hydrogen overvoltage of at least 0, 25 V, preferably at least 0.40 V, based on a current density of 2500 A / m 2 , contains.
- All materials which are at least 50% by weight, preferably at least 80% by weight, in particular at least 93% by weight, of one or more of the metals Cu, Ti, Zr, are suitable as cathodes for the process according to the invention.

- the quantitative analysis of the components was carried out by means of HPLC, the chemical yield is defined as the amount of glyoxylic acid produced, based on the amount of oxalic acid consumed.
- the current yield relates to the amount of glyoxylic acid produced.
- the selectivity has already been defined above.
- Example 1 The procedure was as in Example 1, except that no lead salt was added, but the electrolysis cell was kept between the electrolysis under protective current and the catholyte under inert gas. The immediately preceding electrolysis was the electrolysis carried out according to Example 1.
- This example demonstrates the achievement of a high glyoxylic acid concentration at a low oxalic acid concentration while maintaining the high selectivity.
- the electrolysis time was 10395 Ah without intermediate treatment of the electrochemical cell.
- the example illustrates that the high selectivity is maintained at an oxalic acid concentration of less than 0.2 mol / l. Chemical yield and current yield are somewhat lower than at higher oxalic acid concentrations.
- the cathode was rinsed with 10% nitric acid at about 25 ° C for at least 30 minutes. Electrolysis conditions as example 5.
- the amount of hydrogen developed cathodically was as follows: a) 26 I, b) 5.5 I, c) 12 I, d) 6.1 I, e). 19 I.
- Example shows that the side reaction of the cathodic hydrogen evolution is suppressed when the metal salts are metered in.
