Abstract
A bench-scale investigation was carried out on the indirect electrolytic oxidation of 1-naphthol to 1,4-naphthoquinone by ceric ions. Chemical reaction of the naphthol (dissolved in methylene chloride) with ceric sulfate (dissolved in aqueous sulfuric acid) took place in a continuous flow static mixer. The immiscible liquids were separated, and the aqueous phase was recycled through a continuous flow electrolytic cell which regenerated the spent cerous ions. Measurements were made of chemical rate constant, liquid-liquid phase equilibria, mass-transfer coefficient, and reaction stoichiometry
