Abstract：

An electrocatalyitic membrane as the anode and a stainless steel tube surrounding the membrane as the cathode were connected by a DC regulated power supply to constitute an ECMR, which was employed to produce propionic acid from n-propanol. The effect of operating parameters such as operating voltage (A), pH value of the solution (B), residence time (C) and reaction temperature (D) in the ECMR on n-propanol conversion and propionic acid selectivity were investigated through the response surface method. Results showed the optimum conditions obtained were operating voltage (A) of 2.87 V, pH value of the solution (B) of 4.82, residence time (C) of 22.55 min and the reaction temperature (D) of 52.63 ?C. It was found that the n-propanol conversion and propionic acid selectivity obtained under the optimum conditions were 99.82% and 79.91% after 75 min of reaction time, respectively.
