Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004042138A1] The invention relates to a method for the electrochemical reduction of vat or sulphur dyes, by bringing the dye (1) into contact with a modified cathode (2), comprising a support (3) made from an electrically-conducting material with a large surface area on which a redox-active substance (4) is permanently immobilised. Substances with quinoid structures, in particular, an anthraquinoid structure are preferably applied in the above. No toxic contamination and greatly reduced salt loads in the effluent are achieved by means of the above method.
