PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently electrolyze water containing a hydrophobic organic compound or oil matter. SOLUTION: The subject electrolysis apparatus is provided with an emulsifying means 21 for emulsifying water containing the hydrophobic organic compound, or the like, a storage tank 20 for storing the emulsion, an anode 41 and a cathode 42 to electrolyze the emulsion, an electrolysis reaction vessel 40 having a diamond electrode at least as the anode and a circulation passage 30 for circulating the emulsion between the storage tank and the electrolysis reaction vessel. The emulsion in which the hydrophobic organic compound is dispersed in water is electrolyzed using the diamond electrode at least as the anode. As a result, the hydrophobic organic compound, or the like, is effectively electrolyzed to be efficiently removed from the emulsion. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
