(2010). Electrolytic synthesis of chloroacetic acids in a filter-press reactor from polychloromethanes. Electrochemistry Communications, 12 (7), 952-954.1388-2481https://hdl.handle.net/11441/131246Electrochemical carboxylation of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform to synthesize chloroacetic acids in mild conditions has been investigated by galvanostatic electrolyses using a homemade electrochemical filter-press reactor. Undivided filter-press reactor consisting of a planar Zn cathode and a planar Al sacrificial anode has been shown to be an optimal electrochemical device for the electrocarboxylation reaction. The influence of some operative parameters, such as current density and concentration of supporting electrolyte, on the efficiency and selectivity of the synthetic process has been investigated. Highly current efficiencies and target products yields (both of them > 85%) were achieved in all cases, whereas byproducts formation was minimal.application/pdf3 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/PolychloromethanesChloroacetic acidsElectrochemical carboxylationFilter-press reactorSacrificial anodesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.elecom.2010.04.030
