Abstract: There are provided methods and systems for an electrochemical cell including an anode and a cathode where the anode is contacted with a metal ion that converts the metal ion from a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state. The metal ion in the higher oxidation state is reacted with an unsaturated hydrocarbon and/or a saturated hydrocarbon to form products. Separation and/or purification of the products as well as of the metal ions in the lower oxidation state and the higher oxidation state, is provided herein.

Abstract: The invention includes a method for recovering an organic acid from a dilute salt solution of the acid, wherein the cation of the salt forms a carbonate salt. The method includes concentrating the solution and combining a tertiary amine, CO2, and a solvent with the solution to form a reaction product medium, an acid/amine complex and a carbonate salt. The acid/amine complex is soluble and the carbonate salt is insoluble in the reaction product medium.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the recovery of an organic acid from a dilute salt solution in which the cation of the salt forms an insoluble carbonate salt. An amine, C02 and a water immiscible solvent are introduced to the solution to form the insoluble carbonate salt and a complex between the acid and the amine that is soluble in both an aqueous and a solvent phase. The complex is extracted into the solvent phase which is than distilled to recover the acid or an ester of the acid in a concentrated form.

An amine and CO2 are introduced to the solution to form the insoluble carbonate salt and a complex between the acid and the amine. The acid/amine complex is thermally dissociated, or “cracked”, in the presence of a water immiscible solvent in which the amine is selectively soluble and in which the acid is not appreciably soluble. The organic acid may then be recovered from the water by any suitable means such as distillation, reactive distillation, extraction, or reactive extraction.
