The construction is done by first introducing a convolution-product on an arbitrary Hopf algebra H with integral, and then constructing the L_2 and C^*-envelopes of H (with the new convolution-product) when H is a compact Hopf *-algebra.15 pages, latex 2e, amsart styleQuantum AlgebraOperator AlgebrasRings and AlgebrasRepresentation TheoryCompact quantum group C^*-algebras as Hopf algebras with approximate unittext
