Membrane
applications in chemical processing and biotechnology have expanded rapidly
during the past 20 years, with ion permeable membranes contributing significantly
to these developments. The latest book by the Electrochemical Consultancy
addresses the chemistry and technology of ion permeable membranes from
the viewpoint of those interested in electrochemistry and electrochemical
technology.
CONTENTS
Introduction:
Terminology of ion permeable membranes; brief description ofapplications
and desirable properties; polymers used in the manufacture of ionpermeable
membranes; relation between polymer structure and membrane performance.
Manufacture
of Membranes: Synthesis of monomers; polymerization procedures; chemical
modification of pre-formed polymers; technology of membrane fabrication;
structure of membrane polymers and techniques for their study.
Physical
Chemistry of Polymers: Relationship between membrane structure, polymer
properties, and performance characteristics of membranes. Applications
of Ion Permeable Membranes:
Electrodialysis;
salt splitting with bipolar membranes; applications of membranes in electrolysis,
including the chlor-alkali industry, salt splitting, organic and inorganic
synthesis, and environmental processes.

Electrochemical
Processing for the Pulp & Paper Industry aims to encourage electrochemists
to think about opportunities in pulp and paper processing while giving
executives and technologists in the industry the tools for evaluating electrochemical
technology in their field.
Emphasis
is placed on environmental issues faced by the industry and considers the
applications of electrochemical synthesis and separation technology in
mainline processes and in pollution control.
This
book is essential reading for scientists, technologists, and executive
decision makers in the pulp and paper field, as well as for scientists,
and engineers involved in developing new electrolytic processes. In addition,
it provides a solid reference for students interested in electrochemical
engineering or pulp and paper technology.

Softcover
ISBN 0 9517307 0 3, $45 US
Published
by the Electrochemical Consultancy, UK
This
is an introductory text intended to supplement undergraduate and post graduate
courses. It covers the fundamentals of electrode reactions including electron
transfer, mass transport, absorption and coupled chemical reactions, a
discussion of the influence of the structure of the electrode material
and of the electrolyte solution on electron transfer at a molecular level,
and instrumental techniques (cyclic voltammetry, rotating electrode, etc.).
Also included are chapters on corrosion and the chlor-alkali industry to
illustrate the strong dependence of electrochemical technology on fundamental
electrochemistry. The final chapter contains thirty problems, based on
experimental data, with complete answers.

As
a research worker or student, you will find the second edition of Industrial
Electrochemistry invaluable. It builds a bridge from electrochemistry and
electrochemical engineering to industrial electrochemistry by illustrating
how understanding the fundamentals is essential to the efficient design
and operation of the process. The new edition provides much expanded coverage
of all important aspects of its subject.
