Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A PROCESS FOR SIMULTANEOUS PRODUCTION OF CARBONYL COMPOUNDS AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN A PAIR OF REACTION ZONES COMPRISING SEPARATE ANODIC AND CATHODIC ZONES CONNECTED BY AN ELECTROLYTIC CONDUCTOR, AND AN ANODE AND A CATHODE IN THE RESPECTIVE ZONES CONNECTED THROUGH AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT, SAID ANODIC ZONE CONTAINING AN ACIDIC AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A HALIDE OF A PLATINUM-GROUP METAL, AND SAID CATHODIC ZONE CONTAINING AN AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE, SAID PROCESS COMPRISING INTRODUCING AN OLEFIN HYDROCARBON INTO THE ANODIC ZONE AND AN OXIDIZING AGENT INTO THE CATHODIC ZONE AT A TEMPERATURE OF 0*-200*C., WHEREBY SAID HALIDE OF A PLATINUM-GROUP METAL CATALYZES THE OXIDATION OF SAID OLEFINIC HYDROCARBON TO A CARBONYL COMPOUND, SAID HALIDE OF A PLATINUM-GROUP METAL BEING REDUCED TOWARD THE LOWEST OXIDATION STATE; WITHDRAWING A CARBONYL COMPOUND FROM THE ANODIC ZONE WITH SIMULTANEOUS GENERATION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY AND OXIDATION OF THE REDUCED PLATINUM-GROUP METAL HALIDE.
