Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the oxidation of carbon-containing organic compounds where the said compounds have at least one bond with a bond order >1, wherein an oxidizing of these carbon-containing organic compounds to be oxidized is performed with electrochemically generated C—O—O oxidizing agents, in particular peroxodicarbonate. Also described is the use of C—O—O oxidizing agents generated electrochemically from carbonate, in particular peroxodicarbonate, as oxidizing agents for the oxidation of carbon-containing organic compounds, in particular carbon-containing organic compounds where the said compounds have at least one bond with a bond order >1.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a plastic's surface so as to effect removing metallic particulate contaminants from the plastic's surface, including rinsing the plastic's surface with electrolyzed water, anodic water, cathodic water, or ozone, so as to remove positive charges left on the plastic's surface by the anodic water, and then rinsing the plastic's surface with deionized water; wherein the rinsing of the plastic's surface with the electrolyzed water, anodic water, cathodic water, or ozone, and then the deionized water effects cleansing of the plastic's surface to a predetermined cleanliness value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cleaning a synthetic surface, in particular to remove metal dirt and/or particles therefrom, said method being characterized by the following steps: a) the synthetic surface is rinsed with deionized water; b) the synthetic surface is rinsed with electrolyzed water; and c) the synthetic surface is rinsed with deionized water.

Abstract: An electrode for an electrochemical reaction bath has a base body, an active side which is configured to come into contact with the reaction bath, and a passive side which is configured to come into contact with at least one electrical conductor. The passive side includes a doped carbon coating that is preferably less than 5 ?m in thickness. Preferably the doped carbon coating is a doped polycrystalline diamond coating in sp3 configuration and is doped with boron.

Abstract: An apparatus for electrochemical treatment of wastewater has at least one electrolysis cell through which the wastewater to be treated is guided. The electrolysis cell has a multitude of electrode assemblies that have electrodes arranged such that the wastewater to be treated is guided through holes in the electrodes. At least one of the electrode assemblies has three electrodes arranged such that the wastewater to be treated is guided through all the electrodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a diamond electrode, which comprises the following steps: a) providing a main body (2) composed of silicon, the dimensions of which are greater than the dimensions of the diamond electrode (22) to be produced, b) etching at least one recess (10) into the surface of the main body (2), c) introducing predetermined breaking points (18) into the main body (2), d) coating the main body (2) with diamond, e) breaking the diamond electrode (22) out of the main body (2) along the predetermined breaking points (18).
