Opis

This volume represents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Electrochemistry in Industry - New Directions, held at Case Institute of Technology of Case Western Reserve University on October 20-22, 1980. This symposium was one of a number held at Case Institute during the 1980 calendar year as part of its centennial celebration. The following faculty members from Case Institute of Technol- ogy constituted the organizing committee for the symposium: Uziel Landau, Chairman Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Robert Hehemann Professor of Metallurgy C. C. Liu Professor of Chemical Engineering Ernest Yeager Director of CLES and Professor of Chemistry All lectures at this symposium were by invitation. The manu- scripts as received for all but two of the lectures are herein published in the order of presentation. Discussion submitted by participants in written form appears at the end of each paper. Part of the panel discussion on Future Trends in Major Electro- chemical Industries has also been included in this volume.
