Produktbeschreibung

The objective of this second edition remains the discussion of the many diverse roles of electrochemical technology in industry. Throughout the book, the intention is to emphasize that the applications, though extremely diverse, all are on the same principles of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineer based ing. Those familiar with the first edition will note a significant increase in the number of pages. The most obvious addition is the separate chapter on electrochemical sensors but, in fact, all chapters have been reviewed thoroughly and many have been altered substantially. These changes to the book partly reflect the different view of a second author as well as comments from students and friends. Also, they arise inevitably from the vitality and strength of electrochemical technology; in addition to important improvements in tech nology, new electrolytic processes and electrochemical devices continue to be reported. In the preface to the first edition it was stated: . . . the future for electrochemical technology is bright and there is a general expectation that new applications of electrochemistry will become economic as the world responds to the challenge of more expensive energy, of the need to develop new materials and to exploit different chemical feedstocks and of the necessity to protect the environment. The preparation of this second edition, seven years after these words were written, provided an occasion to review the progress of industrial electro chemistry.

Rezensionen

Industrial Electrochemistry is highly recommended reading for undergraduates and research workers alike. Synthesis and Reactivity in Inorganic Metal-Organic Chemistry (Review of the previous edition); ...a book which combines a good practical working description of all the major industrial electrolytic processes with some basic electrochemistry and chemical engineering. The Chemical Engineer (Review of the previous edition); Many a technologist will be led to the direct solution of a problem, or provided with inspiration for some lateral thinking Chemistry & Industry; This book is an excellent one with a judicious balance of both applied and fundamental aspects.Bulletin of Electrochemistry; The authors must... be congratulated on the amount of factual material that they have included. Their style of writing is also very good, making the book eminently 'readable' whether you jusdt want to dip into a specific topic or perhaps pursue a much larger section. - Transactions of the Institute of Metal Finishing; To summarise the many diverse industrial applications of electrochemistry within the confines of a 640 page book is a Herculean task. The second edition of Industrial Electrochemistry achieves this goal admirably. As a readable, general textbook it can be recommended to all chemists and chemical engineers interested in the subject, whether in industry or university life. - Journal of Chemical Technical Biotechnology
