TITLE OF THE INVENTION "Process to manufacture glyoxylic acid by electrochemical reduction of oxalic acid". This process, carried out at a temperature of 0 to 30.degree.C in an electrolyzer outfit consisting of at least one anode compartment containing an anode and anolyte, comprising an aqueous acid solution, at least one cathode compartment containing a cathode and catholyte, comprising an aqueous solution of oxalic acid and, between the two compartments, at least one separator, is characterized by the fact that the anode is made of a solid conductor uniformly coated with lead dioxide. |
