Reaktoren für spezielle technisch-chemische Prozesse: Elektrochemische Reaktoren

  • Living reference work entry
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Reference Naturwissenschaften ((SRN))

Zusammenfassung

Elektrochemische Reaktoren sind Reaktionsapparate, in denen eine Wandlung zwischen chemischer und elektrischer Energie stattfindet. Sie werden häufig und in vielfältiger Gestalt in der Chemischen Industrie, zur Metallgewinnung und in der Energietechnik eingesetzt. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die für elektrochemische Reaktoren spezifischen Aspekte vorgestellt und die Konsequenzen für Auslegung und Betrieb diskutiert. Der aktuelle Stand der Entwicklungen wird anhand der technisch bedeutsamen Beispiele Chlor-Alkali-Elektrolyse, PEM-Brennstoffzelle und Redox-Flow-Batterie verdeutlicht.
