  •  I want to design an electrochemical process using biomass(ethylene glycol) in alkaline conditions to produce sodium glycolate at the anode with side products formed such as sodium oxalate , sodium formate and oxygen while hydrogen is formed at the cathode. The products are then neutralized using H2SO4 to form glycolic acid , formic acid and oxalic acid. The model is based on an experiment used for glycerol which is attached below. I just want to know the half cell reactions and the total combined reaction.
