Abstract: Indirect electrochemical synthesis of 1,4-naphthoquinone was studied by using Ce3+/Ce4+ as mediator.The influence factors related to the processes of liquid phase oxidation of naphthalene and electrochemical oxidation of Ce3+ were investigated, and indirect electrochemical synthesis of 1,4-naphthoquinone was also conducted.The experimental results showed that concentrations of H2SO4 and solution temperature had significant influence on oxidative ability and electrochemical reactivity of cerium ions.The highest yield of 1,4-naphthoquinone (85.8%) could be obtained during liquid phase oxidation in 1.0 mol·L-1 H2SO4 at 70℃.The current efficiency of electrochemical oxidation of Ce3+ could reach up to 90.6% with current density of 50 mA·cm-2 in 1.0 mol·L-1 H2SO4 at 50℃.Excellent results were achieved during indirect electrochemical synthesis of 1,4-naphthoquinone.The tests were cycled for six times, and average yield of 1,4-naphthoquinone and current efficiency of electrochemical oxidation of Ce3+ were 85.7% and 87.8% respectively.These indicated that this technology could have a good prospect of commercialization.

Key words: naphthoquinone, indirect electrochemical synthesis, medium, cerium

摘要: 探讨了以Ce3+/Ce4+为媒质的1,4-萘醌间接电化学合成反应。考察了液相氧化、Ce3+电解氧化过程的影响因素,并进行了萘醌的间接电合成实验。结果发现,硫酸浓度、溶液温度对铈离子的氧化能力和电化学反应活性具有重要的影响;当温度为70℃、硫酸浓度为1.0 mol·L-1时,液相氧化反应的收率最高(85.8%)。Ce3+电解氧化的最优条件为:电流密度50 mA·cm-2、硫酸浓度1.0 mol·L-1、温度为50℃,其电流效率可达90.6%;间接电合成实验过程中萘醌的平均收率达85.7%,Ce3+电解氧化的平均电流效率达87.8%,并且电解过程具有良好的稳定性,表明该技术具有良好的产业化应用前景。
