Abstract
- A selective electrochemical synthesis of chloroform from carbon tetrachloride (CT) in a laboratory-scale electrochemical reactor using a carbon felt three-dimensional electrode is studied. The characterization of the electrochemical reactor from the point of view of material transport was carried out, obtaining good correlations both in the adjustment to a simple bath reactor model and the adjustment to a piston-flow model, and the operating parameters were obtained, such as the material transport coefficient or the limiting intensity. The galvanostatic electrolysis of CT in the filter-press reactor obtained good values for current efficiency and selectivity, so that only hydrogen was obtained as a by-product. With respect to the use of flat electrodes, the three-dimensional carbon felt electrode improves the results in all the studied parameters under identical experimental conditions.
