The effects of inorganic supporting electrolytes,anode structure and varying current electrolysis on the current efficiency and selectivity for glyoxalic acid in the process of electro synthesis of glyoxalic acid from glyoxal were investigated.It was found that hydrochloric acid was the best among the employed inorganic supporting electrolytes,the electrolytic result of fixed bed anode was better than that of flat plate anode,and the electrolytic result of varying current electrolysis was better than that of constant current electrolysis.The average current density of varying current electro synthesis of glyoxalic acid from glyoxal was 1535 A/m 2,the current efficiency was 85 0% and the selectivity for glyoxalic acid was 94 3%.The optimal composition of anodic electrolyte was 7 0% glyoxal and 8 0% hydrochloric acid(W/W).The mass ratio of glyoxalic acid to glyoxal in primary anodic product was over 40∶3.
