Electrochemical Water Treatment Methods provides the fundamentals and applications of electrochemical water treatment methods to treat industrial effluents. Sections provide an overview of the technology, its current state of development, and how it is making its way into industry applications. Other sections deal with historical developments and the fundamentals of 18 methods, including coupled methods, such as Electrocoagulation, Peroxi-Coagulation and Electro-Fenton treatments. In addition, users will find discussions that relate to industries such as Pulp and Paper, Pharmaceuticals, Textiles, and Urban/Domestic wastewater, amongst others. Final sections present advantages, disadvantages and ways to combine renewable energy sources and electrochemical methods to design sustainable facilities.
Environmental and Chemical Engineers will benefit from the extensive collection of methods and industry focused application cases, but researchers in environmental chemistry will also find interesting examples on how methods can be transitioned from lab environments to practical applications.

Environmental and Chemical Engineers, Chemistry researchers dealing with environmental chemistry
Manuel A Rodrigo obtained his PhD degree in the University of Valencia in 1997, with a research focused on the modelling and automation of biological nutrient removal processes. In 1997, he joined the University the Castilla La Mancha and began researching on electrochemical engineering. In this first postdoctoral stage, his research was focused on the electrolyses of industrial wastewater. After a first postdoctoral training in the Lab of Prof. Comninellis (EPFL, Switzerland), he started working with diamond electrodes, one of the key topics in his research. In 2000, he was appointed as Associate Professor at the University of Castilla La Mancha, and began researching on electrocoagulation and high temperature PEM fuel cells.
Onofrio Scialdone studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Palermo. He obtained his PhD degree in Electrochemical Engineering in the Politecnico di Milano in 1999 and a Master in Economy at the Scuola Mattei of ENI (2000). He is Professor of Industrial Chemistry at Università degli Studi di Palermo and he leads the research activities on electrochemistry of the “Laboratory of Chemical and Electrochemical Technol
