ABSTRACT:
Methanol can be oxidized to formaldehyde gas, and ethanol can be oxidized (e.g. in two steps) to acetic acid, in an "electrogenerative" or "voltameiotic" cell (i.e. a fuel cell designed to produce useful oxidation products). The structure of the anode and the contact time with the anode are important factors helping to determine the degree of oxidation of the oxidized products.
