The electrochemical reduction of carbon-6-dibromo groups on 6,6-dibromo penicillanic acid 1,1-oxide(DBPA) was investigated by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The irreversible two electrons transfer on the reductive debromination of each bromo group proceeded by EC,EC mechanism at the two electrode reduction steps(-0.48, -1.62 volts). The 6-bromo-PA and 6,6-dihydro-PA was synthesized by controlled potential electrolysis. Upon the basis of results on the products analysis and interpretation of polarograms obtained at various pH, electrochemical reaction mechanism was suggested.

An electrochemical study related to the redox characteristics of Ethyl-3-acetyl-6-methyl-1, 4-diphenyl-4, 3a-dihydro-1, 3, 4-triazolino[3, 4-a] pyrimidine-5-carboxylate ester and its derivatives (1a-f) and (2a-e) in nonaqueous solvents such as 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofurane (THF) using $0.1\;mol\;dm^{-3}$ tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as a supporting electrolyte at platinum, glassy carbon and gold electrodes, has been performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) is also carried out to elucidate the course of different electrochemical reactions through the separation and identification of the intermediates and final electrolysis products. The redox mechanism is suggested and proved. It was found that all the investigated compounds in all solvents are oxidized in a single irreversible one electron donating process following the well known pattern of the EC-mechanism to give a dimer. On the other hand, these compounds are reduced in a single irreversible one electron step to form the anion radical, which is basic enough to proton from the media forming the radical which undergoes tautomerization and then dimerization processes to give also another bis-compound through N-N linkage formation.

The electrochemical oxidation of p-methoxyphenol and hydroquinone for wastewater treatment application was investigated on platinum anode. At the cyclic voltammetry, it was observed that nagative shift of peak potential of p-methoxyphenol and hydroqinone as the pH of electrolytes increases and the peak current showed higher at strong electrolytes than weak electrolytes. In the case of p-methoxyphenol, the optimum electrode potential of controlled potential electrolysis was observed at the potential region of 0.8-1.0 (V vs. SCE) and hydroquinone was showed at the potential of l.0(V vs. SCE). Specially the oxidation rate of p-methoxyphenol and hydroquinone was showed high value in the acid electrolytes.

In this study, to reduce the consumption of chemicals in cleaning processes, Si-wafers contaiminated with metallic impurities were cleaned with electrolyzed water(EW), which was generated by the electrolysis of a diluted electrolyte solution or ultra pure water(UPW). Electrolyzed water could be controlled for obtaining wide ranges of pH and ORP(oxidation-reduction potential). The pH and oxidation-reduction potential of anode water and cathode water were measured to be 4.7 and +1000mV, and 6.3 and -550mV, respectively. To analyze the amount of metallic impurities on Si-wafer surfaces, ICP-MS was introduced. Anode water was effective for Cu removal, while cathode water was more effective for Fe removal.

The eletrochemical behavior of light lanthanide complexes has been investigated by several electrochemical techniques in alkaline solutions. The composition of the complexes was determined by spectrophotometric method to be 1 : 1 and reduction mechanism was two steps 1 electron transfer reaction. The half wave potential of first peak depended on pH and cathodic current showed remarkably adsorptive properties. The results of DC and CV investigation demonstrated the quise-reversible nature of the electron transfer. The anion radical formed after first one electron reduction process, dimerizes to form dimer. The apparent irreversible behavior of the second wave is a result of the existence of a fast protonation following the second electron transfer. An exhaustive electrolysis was carried out at controlled potential of -1.80 V, deep blue color of the solution became progressively weaker, and then the solution became colorless solution. The final product of an exhaustive electrolysis is electro-inactive. The appearance of four steps may be explained by the fact the reduction of Ln-OCP elucidated ECEC mechanism.

Al foil used was 99.9 and 99.99 %. Test solution used was NaCl solution. The noise was determined using controlled potential electrolysis at -200 and -700 mV vs. NHE. The current fluctuation was caused by breakdown and repaired process of aluminum oxide film. The current fluctuation value of noise was proportion to degree of growth. The number of noise was proportion to the number of pit. The examining of current flutulation value and number of noise could be evaluated corrosion. A 99.99 % Al foil was the mostly crystal of {100} plane, and showed three-dimensional, as azimuth pit with along the direction of this place piled up. A 99.9 % Al foil was polycrystal, and in order of (311) >(222) >(200) >(111) plane. The azimuth pit did not occurred as the dissolution was occurred from each plane.

The Polarographic behavior of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol (TAN) in acetonitrile solution was studied. From the DC polarograms of TAN in acetonitrile solution, the type of reduction current and the effect of proton donor such as water have been investigated. In order to explain the reduction mechanism, the number of the electrons for each reduction step was measured by controlled potential coulometric technique and the electrolysis products were identified by UV-Vis spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. The results were shown that the reduction of TAN in acetonitrile solution occurred with four-one electron steps. In addition, each reduction step was considerably reversible and the reduction current was diffusion controlled.

The electrochemical reduction of methylene blue (MB) in 1.0${\times}$10-2 M KNO3 aqueous solution was investigated by direct current (DC), differential pulse (DP) polarography, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled potential coulometry (CPC). The electrode reduction of melthylene blue was processed CE reaction mechanism by two electrons transfer at the first reversible wave (- 0.18 volts vs. Ag/AgCl). MB was strongly adsorbed on the stationary mercury electrode and the reduction product of conptrolled potential electrolysis was rapidly auto-oxidized in air to the original methylene blue. Upon the basis of interpretation of cyclic voltammogram with pH change, possible CE electrode reaction mechanism was suggested.

We studied the degree of rancidity of linoleic acid for the electrochemical redox reaction in time course and the kinetic parameters. The current of the linoleic acid was increased and the potential was shifted to the positive potential when scan rates were faster. The redox reaction of the linoleic acid was proceeding to totally irreversible and diffusion controlled reaction. From these results, diffusion coefficient(D$\_$o/) of linoleic acid was observed to 2.61$\times$10$\^$-6/ ㎠/s in the 0.1 M TEAP/DMF electrolyte solution. Also, exchange rate constant(K$\^$o/) was observed to 9.79$\times$10$\^$-11/ cm/s. The leaving time in air condition was found to affect the rancidity. We predicted that the product was carbonyl compounds.

The electrochemical reduction of N-tert-butylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TBBS; vulcanization accelerator) was investigated by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The electrode reduction of TBBS proceeded E-C-E-C reaction mechanism by four electrons transfer at irreversible one wave (-2.31 volts vs. Ag/0.1M AgN$O_3$ in AN). As the results of controlled potential electrolysis, mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), benzothiazole disulfide (MBT dimer) and extricated sulfur were products which followed by cleavage of the sulfenamide (-S-N=) bond. Upon the basis of products analysis and polarogram interpretation with pH variable, electrochemical reaction mechanism was suggested.
