Overview
A sustainable method for phenol production using electrocatalytic oxidation of benzene.
Applications
- Production of phenol from benzene
- Production of acetaldehyde from ethylene
- Production of malonic and/or pyruvic acids from acrylic acid
- Production of various alcohols from aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons
Differentiation
- Safe – process in low Temp.
- Highly Selective (no acetone as co-product)
- Cost-Effective
- Simple and fast process
Development Stage
A proof of concept was demonstrated on a lab scale.
Non-optimized reaction conditions: Faradaic efficiency of 75% and 35% yield.
