Polyconjugated oxidation-reduction polymers, processes for the electro-chemical regeneration of

摘要

The use of polyconjugated polymers having pi -electrons which are delocalized throughout the macromolecular chain as oxidation-reduction polymers is described. The apparatus for regenerating such oxidation-reduction polymers comprises a column, at least one working electrode, an auxiliary electrode, a reference electrode, a potentiostat and a porous wall which separates the auxiliary electrode from the working electrode. Also disclosed is the use of the polymers in the oxidation and reduction of organic and inorganic substances.
