Annotation -
The target of this subject is to make students familiar with modern approach to the description and optimisation of the electrochemical processes. The subject is based on the knowledge gained in the basic course of chemical engineering and physical chemistry. This knowledge is applied to the problems of technical electrochemistry.
Last update: Bouzek Karel (15.02.2018)
Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

design an electrochemical cell, including suitable construction materials;

calculate distribution of local potentials, charge and mas flux density;

define basic economic characteristics of the process.
