"Electrochemical
Salt Splitting"
by Dr. David
Genders
 |
Salt
splitting processes have been around for several decades. During that
time considerable advances have been made in bringing the power requirements
down to a viable level. This reviews several salt splitting processes,
including those using bipolar membranes and gas diffusion electrodes. |
"The
Electrochemistry of Gases: New Sensing Opportunities"
by Dr. Emory
De Castro
|
This
review will show how the three-phase region of fuel cells can be exploited
to create electrochemical gas sensors. |
"Electrochemical
Fluorinations"
by Dr. Guillermo
Daniel Zappi
|
New
applications for fluorinated compounds are continuously being found.
In areas such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals,
the enhanced activity of compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms
have been replaced by fluorine is the subject of a large body of research
in universities and companies around the world. It is estimated that
between 40 and 45% of all new agrochemicals being developed contain
fluorine. This article will review selective electrochemical fluorinations. |
"Metal
Ion Removal from Effluents"
by Prof.
Derek Pletcher
|
The
need to protect the environment from further contamination by transition
and heavy metal ions is well established and universally reinforced.
Electrochemical methods compete with a number of other technologies
including evaporation, precipitation, ion exchange and solvent extraction
to offer solutions to the needs of the many industries involved. Electrochemical
methods, however, are uniquely capable of recovering pure metal for
recycle. This article reviews electrochemical methods for metal ion
removal from effluents. |
"Chiral
Electrosynthesis for the Pharmaceutical Industry"
by Dr. Norman
L. Weinberg
|
The
pharmaceutical industry, with annual worldwide sales of more than
$200 billion, has for many years provided a wealth of opportunities
for organic electrosynthesis of high value added intermediates. Many
of these are now commercial. The most exciting R&D is occurring
in electrosynthesis of chiral drug intermediates. |
"Electrochemical
Methods in Organic Synthesis of Valuable Intermediates"
by Dr. Murat
Niyazymbetov
|
Over
the past 25-30 years the use of electrochemistry as a synthetic tool
in organic chemistry has increased remarkably. According to Pletcher
and Walsh more than 100 electroorganic synthetic processes have been
piloted at levels ranging from a few tons up to 105 tons. Herein,
we review some recent advances in using electrochemical methods in
fine organic synthesis. Moreover we will demonstrate that electrochemical
methods are a tool that should become widely accepted in this area. |
"Electrogenerated
Hydrogen Peroxide - From History to New Opportunities"
by Prof.
Derek Pletcher
|
Hydrogen
peroxide is probably a unique chemical, ideally suited to the present
age where environmental considerations are always to the fore. |
