Electrochemistry and the environment

Abstract

The electrochemical technology has been widely applied in various aspects of people's life and production such as environmental monitor,environmental pollution abatement and land restoration.Although the electrometallurgical and electrochemical power technologies bring about economic profits for mankind,they may also result a certain destruction to environment.Therefore,only with efficient use of valuable resources and by reducing the environmental pollution to the minimum during the application of the electrometallurgical and electrochemical power technologies can make the technologies rationalized and perfected.The development and application of new electrochemical technology relies on the development of new technologies and new materials,especially new electrode materials with high electrochemical activity and cheap prices.
