This text 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 using examples. It also emphasizes the increasing importance of electrochemistry in the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds for the bulk, fine chemical, pharmaceutical and electronic industries. The book features full coverage of effluent treatment and recycling for heavy and precious metals, organic contaminants, inorganic aqueous and gaseous effluents, and includes coverage of electrochemical membrane-based separations, and electrochemically enhanced processes such as ion exchange and ultrafiltration.
