4 Our sincere thanks are due to our colleague Dr. R. E. Plimley for his considerable help during the preparation of this book.

5 Preface As the subtitle indicates, the overriding intention of the authors has been to provide a practical guide to the design of electrolytic plant. We wanted to show that the procedures for the design and optimization of such a plant are essentially simple and can be performed by readers comparatively new to the electrochemical field. It was important to realize that electrochemical engineering should not be confused with applied electrochemistry but had to be based on the principles of chemical engineering. For this reason, reference is often made to standard chemical engineering texts. Since this is a practical guide rather than a textbook, we have included a large number of worked examples on the principle that a good worked example is worth many paragraphs of text. In some examples we have quoted costs, e.g., of chemicals, plant or services. These costs are merely illustrative; current values will have to be obtained from manufacturers or journals. If this is not possible, approximate methods are available for updating costs to present-day values (see Refs. 1 and 3, Chapter 6). At the end of the book you will realize that there has been no recommendation or discussion of particular software packages for costing or design. There are two reasons for this omission. First, we wanted to emphasize the basic principles of design so that readers would be in a position to question in an informed way the basic assumptions of any design package. Second, changes and updates in design software are so frequent that any recommendations would soon be out of date. Although design software packages including electrochemical stages are still not numerous, any final design today will be computer-based. This has been no handicap vii

6 viii Preface to the present book, which is concerned mainly with preliminary cost estimation and design. We have emphasized the use of reaction, reactor, and process models. We have tried to show-and this is a message close to our hearts-that even simple models can lead to significant savings. For example, minimizing pilot plant experimentation can reduce development cost considerably. A reaction model can tell the development scientist or engineer which parameters under investigation are particularly important, in this way shortening experimentation time. One might ask, "If design methods are based on chemical engineering, is it worthwhile to present a text specializing in electrochemical plant?" The answer is that, in our experience of running short courses in electrochemical engineering, scientists and engineers have found it useful to be presented with detailed examples of the application of chemical engineering principles to an electrochemical situation. The reason can be found in university training, where electrochemistry is still the Cinderella of reaction techniques, particularly in chemical engineering courses. The treatment to be found below is loosely based on the short courses we have been running for many years in the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Enthusiastic response from participants all over the world has led us to hope that this book will be considered as useful as, apparently, the courses have been. The book has been written for undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering, as well as for the practicing chemist and chemical engineer who have had little previous experience of designing and scaling up electrochemical processes. Our sincere thanks are due to our colleague Dr. R. E. Plimley for his considerable help during the preparation of this book. University of Newcastle upon Tyne F. Goodridge K. Scott
