Electrochemical Engineering: Pts. D-F

This second volume of Electrochemical Engineering again consists of three parts. The first part deals with transport phenomena in electrolysers, both of the flow-through type and with internal electrolyte recirculation. Laminar and turbulent flow, and stationary and nonstationary states are treated mathematically in a clear and illustrative form. Porous electrodes, which are gaining an increasing importance for electrolysers, form the subject of the second part. An account is given of their basic properties, construction elements, and theoretical models. As practical examples, the theories of the lead-acid battery electrodes and of porous oxygen and air electrodes are presented in detail. Also covered are flow-through electrochemical reactors using either a fixed or a fluidized bed of conducting particles. Finally, the third part gives a survey of mathematical formulas used in solving the relevant engineering problems. The exposition is supplemented with many figures, diagrams, and references to the original literature. It enables the reader not only to understand the problems involved, but also to use the methods to resolve his own research problems.
