Abstract
THE past decade has seen a revival of interest in most areas of electrochemical technology because of its relevance to some of the more important problems of modern society, such as environmental pollution, scarcity of natural resources and energy conservation. Electrochemical processes are quite unique in the sense that they do not need any chemical to carry out oxidation reduction reactions, instead the energy transfer is by an inert electrode. Consequently processes are generally ‘clean’ and do not create undesirable waste products.
