Electrochemical Synthesis of Inorganic Compounds : Springer : 9780306419386 : 0306419386 : 01 May 1985 : Electrochemical synthesis of inorganic compounds is a relatively unknown field. The successful, large industrial processes, such as chlorine-caustic production, are well known, but the large number of other compounds that have been synthesized electrochemically are much less appreciated, even by electrochemists and inorganic chemists. The last comprehensive book on this subject was published in the 1930's and no modern review or summary of the whole field is in existence. But the field is in no way dormant, as attested by the large number of publications, undiminished throughout the years, describing new syntheses and improvements of old ones. Indeed, it can be expected that practical applications of electrochemical inor­ ganic syntheses will increase in the future as an increasing portion of our energy will be available in electrical form. Electrochemical processes have important a
