Learning objectives

To teach students the theoretical basics of electrochemical engineering, and to enable them to calculate the electrochemical parameters of technological processes in electrochemical production. Introduce them to the basic measurements of physico-chemical and technological parameters in electrochemical production processes. Studing and understanding the most important electrochemical production technologies with special emphasis on the application of modern electrochemical technologies respecting economic and environmental requirements.

Learning outcomes

The student is able to apply knowledge of the energetic of electrochemical reactor, the phenomenon of mass transfer and the distribution of current density to different types of electrochemical reactors in different industrial fields. Independently performing experimental research of technical and technological parameters of the electrochemical reactor and perform their optimization. Apply knowledge from new growing electrochemical technologies to a variety of applications in the process industry.
