Abstract
The destruction of butyraldehyde isomers has been studied using a silv er catalyzed electrochemical oxidation technique. The destruction rate s of nand iso-butyraldehydes were measured as a function of the concen trations of butyraldehyde isomers, silver and nitric acid in aqueous s olutions, anode potential and temperature. More than 99% of n-butyrald ehyde in 3M nitric acid was destroyed within 50 minutes by electrochem ical oxidation at the anode potential of 1.6 V versus a reference satu rated calomel electrode (SCE). The process was found to be applicable to the destruction of butyraldehyde isomers in nitric acid solutions.
