Electrochemical reactor closed system

The same problem is encountered during electrosynthesis by the oxidation of a chemical compound. In an electrochemical reactor, the oxidation reaction has to be counterbalanced with a reduction reaction in order to close the electrical circuit. Under these conditions, it is better for industrial applications to use oxygen from air, which is free, as the oxidative agent. Such a system then becomes very close to a fuel cell system, apart from the oxidation reaction that has to be controlled here, whereas the complete oxidation of alcohol into CO2 is sought in direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs). For this reason, fuel cell systems will be considered in this chapter to illustrate the important problem of oxygen activation for electrochemical processes. [Pg.217]
