Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour on platinum and graphite electrodes of propylene, 1,3-butadiene and products of their chlorohydroxylation by electrochemically generated chlorine has been studied. It has been demonstrated by two methods: the potential sweep method with the use of a rotating disc electrode and the galvanostatic method. On graphite electrodes (unlike on platinum) redox reactions occur at a very low rate.
