ABSTRACT
Electrochemical engineering is that area ofchemical engineering which involves oxidation-reduction chemical reactions at solid or liquid surfaces and the transport processes associated with these heterogeneous reactions. Industries based on electrochemical engineering include chemical synthesis (chlorine, caustic, hydrogen, etc.), metal winning (aluminum, magnesium, zinc, etc.), metal refining (copper, nickel, etc.), metal plating (decorative and protective coatings), and energy conversion and storage (batteries and fuel cells). In addition, corrosion can be studied and effectively mitigated using electrochemical engineering techniques.
