The invention relates to a method for electrochemical production of a product in an electrochemical cell comprising an extraction compartment. The extraction compartment comprises a liquid comprising a dissolved polyelectrolyte. The method comprises producing cations at an anode, producing anions at a cathode and transporting the ions through ion-selective membranes into the extraction compartment where the product is formed. The invention further relates to an electrochemical cell for use in the method.

Method for electrochemical production of a product in a cell comprising a polyelectrolyte

The invention is directed to a process for the preparation of formaldehyde, the process comprising electrochemically reducing CO to form formaldehyde. The process is carried out in a supporting electrolyte that comprises less than 50% water and a non-aqueous solvent such as an alcohol.
