Environmental electrochemistry: Fundamentals and applications in pollution abatement

Book ·
OSTI ID:345149

Electrochemistry is used both to detect and quantitatively analyze pollutants and to undertake the remediation of polluted environments. In these areas electrochemistry offers the advantages of detectability, selectivity, portability, and cost effectiveness. This book is a comprehensive review that covers a vast amount of territory, from basic electrochemical science to the use of commercially available remediation procedures. The first three chapters are introductory in nature. The subjects covered in chapters 4--7 include: electroanalytical techniques, electrochemical approaches to pollution abatement, photoelectrochemical methods for treating polluted air and water, and the disinfection of water.
