Fundamental Aspects of Electrometallurgy [Paperback]

1. What is electrometallurgy.2. Definitions, principles and concepts.3. Surface morphology of metal electrodeposits.4. The current distribution in electrochemical cells.5. Electrodeposition at a periodically changing rate.6. Electrowinning.7. Electrorefining.8. Optimum conditions for electroplating.9. Electroplating and surface finishing.10. Metal deposition without an external current.11. Electrodeposition of metals from molten salts.12. Environmental issues.Index. [...]a very interesting book[...]a very important contribution to the understanding of electrometallurgical processes, which up to now was only available by trawling through the literature. For anyone interested in electrometallurgy, especially researchers, this is an essential book for any personal library.
