Abstract: | In this study, hydrothermal electrolysis experiments using glucose (a biorelated substance) as a starting material were carried
out using a specially designed autoclave at 250°C. We could understand the fundamental reaction behavior of glucose under
these conditions through various kinds of experiments and product analyses. Another series of experiments using pressurized
CO2 as an electrolyte was conducted to discover whether it is possible to use CO2 as an alternative electrolyte to the conventional KCl electrolyte, with a view to lowering the environmental impact of the
process. It was found that pressurized CO2 was useful as an environmentally friendly electrolyte, although there were still some problems in terms of the reaction efficiency. |
