Abstract
The main process during electrolysis of a hydrogen chloride solution i n absolute ethyl alcohol is shown to be the oxidation of the latter, r esulting in the formation of acetaldehyde, acetaldehyde acetal, and et hyl acetate. The oxidation processes consume up to 88% of the electric ity, and the chlorination of acetaldehyde consumes 12% of the current. Mono-and dichloracetaldehydes in the form of acetals are discovered i n the chlorination products.
