Process for electrochemically regenerating chromosulfuric acid

摘要

Chromosulfuric acid, which is used in many organic reactions as an oxidizing agent, can advantageously be regenerated electrochemically if an electrolysis cell is used which comprises two tub-like half shells with a current-permeable, hydraulically sealing partition situated inbetween. The hydrogen produced at the cathode can also be extracted and utilized in this way.
