Abstract

When electrolyses using a sacrificial magnesium anode are carried out in DMF as solvent, an overconsumption of the metal is observed (10 to 60%) which principally depends on the temperature and the current density. It has been shown that the electrochemical scouring of magnesium induces a chemical reduction of DMF and a possible pathway is proposed.
