Formation of mellitic acid in the electrochemical oxidation of carbonaceous materials

Journal Article · · Solid Fuel Chem. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5647598
; ; ;
In the reported experiments, the anodic oxidation of carbonaceous materials to mellitic acid has been investigated. The dependence of the yield of mellitic acid on the current and conditions of the process has been determined. The maximum current yield (about 10%) corresponds to an anode potential of 1.1 V, a pH of 1-2, and a temperature of 80/degree/C. 5 refs.
