Book Description
Electrochemical Processes for Clean Technology describes the technology and engineering of electrochemical systems that are relevant to clean technology, such as chemical synthesis, effluent treatment and recycling. It explains basic scientific and engineering principles, and describes relevant cell and reactor technology with examples. It emphasises the increasing importance of electrochemistry in the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds for the bulk, fine chemical, pharmaceutical and electronic industries. It has full coverage of effluent treatment and recycling for heavy and precious metals, organic contaminants, inorganic aqueous and gaseous effluents, and includes important coverage of electrochemical membrane-based separations, and electrochemically enhanced processes such as ion exchange and ultrafiltration. Electrochemical Processes for Clean Technology focuses on the advantages of electrochemistry, supports the reader's understanding of the technology described, covers recent developments and current practices, and places the subject in the wider context of alternative technologies. It should be read by graduates and researchers in clean technology, organic synthesis, electrochemistry, chemical engineering and inorganic chemistry.
