Electrochemistry for the Environment (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Starting with the fundamentals of environmental electrochemistry, this book presents a broad range of electrochemistry applications for managing environmental problems. The editors and authors introduce basic techniques in selecting and fabricating electrode materials, followed by a theoretical analysis of electrochemical processes. Next, they examine green electrochemical operations, electrochemical technologies in water treatment, and finally established wastewater treatment technologies, such as electrochemical reactors for metal recovery, electrocoagulation, electroflotation, and electrooxidation. Emerging technologies such as electrophotooxidation, electrodisinfection, and electrochemical technologies in sludge and soil treatment are all presented in detail. The book is an excellent reference for environmental engineers, chemical engineers, civil engineers, and electrochemists.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"A ... book focussing on electrochemical approaches to the protection of the environment is timely and to be welcomed. ... The nineteen chapters in this book are all written by authors with broad experience of their topics ... . All chapters are extensively referenced. I have no doubt that this book will be valuable to scientists and engineers presently working in the field or seeking to enter it." (Derek Pletcher, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, Vol. 40, 2010)
