In recent years much research has been carried out in combining electrochemical processes with chemical engineering techniques, and in general, to apply principles of analysis and design of this discipline in search for new electrochemical technologies. This paper reviews seven major areas of activity in modern applied electrochemistry where the chemical engineering approach has been successful: Fluidized bed electrochemical reactors; Bipolar particulate reactors; Pulsed electrochemical reactors; Gas phase electrochemical reactors; Electrocrystallization and electrodissolution; Enhancement of heat and mass transfer in electric fields; dynamics, modelling and optimization of electrochemical reactors.
