METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE PREPARATION OF MONOCARBOXYLIC ACIDS FROM CARBOHYDRATES, DERIVATIVES OF CARBOHYDRATES OR PRIMARY ALCOHOLS

摘要

By the method for the preparation of monocarboxylic acidsfrom carbohydrates, derivatives of carbohydrates and primaryalcohols,the intial substances are continuously oxidized in aqeoussolution and concentration from 0.1 to 60% with oxygen oroxygen-containing gases on a precious metal or mixed metalliccatalysts. The flow, containing the turned out products, issubjected to electrolysis where the monocarboxylic acids producedare removed.
