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. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
Process for electro-chemical oxidation or reduction of correspondingly previously reduced or oxidized solid, water-insoluble, electrically conductive, polyconjugated oxidation-reduction polymers, to thereby regenerate such polymers, comprising: introducing the polymer to be regenerated into a column or analogous tubular body of inert material having therein a working electrode and an auxiliary electrode, each of chemically and electro-chemically inert but electrically conductive material, a porous wall separating the working electrode from the auxiliary electrode and through which ions may pass but chemical species in gaseous form produced in the course of the regeneration cannot pass, and a reference electrode; introducing electrolyte into the column to an extent such that all of the polymer is impregnated with the electrolyte and is covered thereby with a sufficient layer for the reference electrode to dip thereinto; connecting the electrodes to a 3-terminal potentiostat; and operating the potentiostat in either intensiostatic coulometry or in potentiostatic coulometry.
2.
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said potentiostat is operated in intensiostatic coulometry.
3.
Process for electro-chemical regeneration according to claim 2, in which the regeneration reaction is terminated when the potential is subjected to a sudden variation.
4.
Process for electro-chemical regeneration according to claim 2, in which the current admitted is between 50 .
mu.
A and 10mA per sq.
cm.
of electrode.
5.
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said potentionstat is operated in potentiostatic coulometry.
6.
Process for electro-chemical regeneration according to claim 5, in which the regeneration reaction is terminated when the resultant current is equal to the residual current.
7.
Process for electro-chemical regeneration according to claim 1, in which the polymer is introduced into the column in powdered and/or granulated and/or micronized form and/or in the form of a diaphragm
