  Abstract:   Carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction (CDER) was investigated on Pb electrode in a conventional three electrodes cell and a filter-press electrochemical reactor at ambient temperature and pressure. The electrolysis was conducted in Na2SO4, Na2SO4 Na2CO3 and Na2CO3 solutions for 4h. The formation of formate as a product of reduction depends on the type of electrolyte and pH value. The highest current efficiency (35%) was obtained in sulphate solution at 5mA/cm2 current density.

Keywords: carbon dioxide reduction, formic acid production, lead electrode
