Adiponitrile was produced through the electroreduced coupling of acrylonitrile in a cell employing dimensionally stable anode(DSA)as anode and Cd or Pb as cathode without diaphragm.Under the optimized conditions,electroredutive coupling of acrylonitrile for 48 h,the yield of adiponitrile and total efficiency are up to 85.7% and 86.6% in the DSA-Cd cell; 80.1% and 77.7% in the DSA-Pb cell.Since DSA is possessed of excellent anti-corrosion,employing DSA as anode for electro-synthesis of adiponitrile is one of the favorable selections.
