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.

Carlos Alberto Martínez-Huitle
Carlos Alberto Martinez Huitle graduated in Chemistry at Universidad de las Américas-Puebla (México) under supervision of Prof. Dr. Marco Antonio Quiroz Alfaro. After a work experience in Ciba—Specialty Chemicals (currently acquired by the German chemical company BASF), he moved to Ferrara (Italy) where he received his PhD in Chemical Sciences at the University of Ferrara under supervision of Prof. Achille De Battisti. During the same period, he worked as visiting scientist in the group of Prof. Christos Comninellis at the EPFL Institute, Switzerland. From since 2005 to 2008, he has served as faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Milan. In 2008, he also moved to Brazil where he currently is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte.

Manuel A Rodrigo
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.
