PART I : USEFUL BASIC ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Chapter 1 - Use of Electrode Concepts
Electrochemical reactions. The use of the electric analogue for the electrode. Computation of cell voltage and reversible energy.
Chapter 2 - Faraday's Law
Faraday's use of reactions at the electrode to obtain the quantity of the deposit, gas evolution, current efficiency and specific energy.
PART II : FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE AND ITS PRACTICAL USE
Chapter 3 - Electrode Thermodynamics and E-pH Diagrams
Conditions of electrode stability. Equilibrium and reversible processes. Calculation and interpretation of E-lg | i | diagrams.
Chapter 4 - Electrolyte Solutions
Interaction between charged particles. Ionic strength. Calculation of activity coefficients. Conductivity and calculation of IR drop.
Chapter 5 - Electrode Kinetics (Processes)
Determination and use of electrode overpotentials and polarization. Energy consumption and heat produced. Secondary reactions. E - lg | i | diagrams and their uses. Limiting current.
PART III : INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS
(MORE COMPLEX PROBLEMS, USING ASPECTS OF SEVERAL PREVIOUS CHAPTERS)
Chapter 6 - Electrolysis Production Problems
Several industrial electrolysis processes offer useful examples of calculations for production: energy consumption in transformations, parasite reactions and heat liberation, energy balance in electrolytic cells. Metal, chemical and gas production. Aqueous and molten salt processes.
Chapter 7 - Corrosion Failure and Prevention Problems
Corrosion rates and the life expectancy of structures are calculated. Problems in corrosion prevention (cathodic and anodic protection, coatings and inhibitors) are resolved through computations.
Chapter 8 - Electrochemical Power Generators
This book was written for two groups: (1) professors and students in chemistry, materials, metallurgy and chemical engineering, and (2) practicing engineers and technicians working in corrosion, electrolysis, plating, electrochemical cells and rechargeable batteries.
