Electrochemical techniques have been used in the field of nuclear waste separations since the mid-1950s, but the applications were limited until research and development over the past few decades produced new electrode materials (i.e., Ebonex® and DSA®); ion-exchange membranes (i.e., Nafion®); and advancements in electrochemical engineering (i.e., dimensional analysis).1,2 Also, manufacturers have recently made economic commerical electrochemical equipment/reactors readily available, which has provided a platform for scientists and practitioners to explore novel separation schemes.3 These new developments have created opportunities to expand the use of electrochemical processes for nuclear waste separations.4

Published in M. Thangarajan, Vijay P. Singh, Groundwater Assessment, Modeling, and Management, 2016
In this context, the role of electrochemistry to environmental applications is expanding due to the characteristics of electrochemical processes, namely, versatility, energy efficiency, environmental compatibility, cost effectiveness, etc. (Martínez-Huitle and Brillas 2008, 2009; Butler et al. 2011; Kabdasli et al. 2012; Kuokkanen et al. 2013; Vasudevan et al. 2013; Sirés et al. 2014; Vasudevan and Oturan 2014). The growth of electrocat-alysts and electrochemical engineering in the past two decades has made a total revolution in the electrode and cell design technologies that are particularly important for water and effluent treatment. In this review, brief accounts of a few successful electrochemical technologies are presented.

Guidelines for setting the useful range of pulse plating parameters
Published in Transactions of the IMF, 2018
There are many electrode configurations where the hydrodynamics is quantitatively known from electrochemical engineering studies.11 This is, for instance, the case for the rotating cylinder electrode presented in sheet 2 (Table 2).
