Abstract

In industrial electrochemistry there is an increasing demand for high speed and high efficiency processes. In order to perform these objectives one needs a perfect insight in the interaction between electrode kinetics, cell geometry and mass- and charge transport. For many practical problems it is possible to simplify the general equations to a potential problem describing only transport of charge or only transport of mass in the electrolytic solution. That potential problem has non-linear boundary conditions due to the electrochemical reactions on the electrodes.
