PREPARATION OF ONIUM HYDROXIDES IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

Electrochemically preparing onium hydroxides by (A) providing a cell comprising an anode (11), a cathode (12) and one or more unit cells between the anode and the cathode, each unit cell comprising: four compartments defined by, in sequence beginning at the anode, a bipolar membrane (13), a first di...

Zusammenfassung:Electrochemically preparing onium hydroxides by (A) providing a cell comprising an anode (11), a cathode (12) and one or more unit cells between the anode and the cathode, each unit cell comprising: four compartments defined by, in sequence beginning at the anode, a bipolar membrane (13), a first divider (14) and a second divider (15), said bipolar membrane having an anion selective side facing the anode and a cation selective side facing the cathode; (B) charging a solution of an onium salt to the compartment in each unit cell formed by the first and second dividers; (C) passing a current through the cell to produce an onium hydroxide in the compartment in each unit cell formed by one of the dividers on the anode side and a bipolar membrane on the cathode side; and (D) recovering the onium hydroxide.
