“…Although the term "electrochemical engineering" [6] was first used by Mantell in his book entitled "Electrochemical Engineering" [7], in which he described some processes to produce particular electrochemical products, many electrochemical processes were incorporated for the production of several products in the 1950s. Wagner (1962), who is considered the founder of electrochemical engineering science [8], published his book "The Scope of Electrochemical Engineering" [9], in which he presented and solved some of the problems related to mass transport and current distribution. He placed special emphasis on mining applications, and through the development of chemical engineering and its foundations, electrochemical engineering took on the same meaning [6].…”

“…In the 1960s, the use of electrochemical technologies was mainly focused on the electrolytic production of chlorine-alkali, the synthesis of hypochlorite and chlorate, the electrodeposition of aluminum and magnesium from molten salt electrolytes, the electrolytic extraction of zinc and refining of copper, as well as small-scale processes such as the production of MnO 2 [6]. Subsequently, electrochemical engineering began to grow until the 1990s with the development, modeling, and simulation of electrochemical reactors, the understanding of electrochemical processes, the creation of new sub-disciplines of electrochemistry and chemical engineering; and the formation of more electrochemical specialists in schools [8].…”

“…The main applications of electrochemical processes and technologies were in the recovery of metals, corrosion control, and the treatment of contaminated effluents. Additionally, other applications, such as the development of electrochemical sensors, catalysis, and ionic liquids, were gaining more attention and showing great potential benefits [8,15].…”

Abstract. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the electrochemical industry in Mexico by examining the geographic distribution of the companies, the economic sectors they belong to, the products they manufacture, and the electrochemical processes they utilize. The data were collected from 805 Mexican manufacturing companies in the electrochemical industry and analyzed using data mining techniques, revealing that Mexico's electrochemical industry is concentrated in regions with high economic development, such as Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, which are also traditional suppliers of the automotive industry. Furthermore, 91.2 % of the industry is focused on the electrodeposition process, with zinc coatings and nickel being the most commonly produced products. The metal-mechanical sector is the most dominant economic sector, accounting for 89 % of the companies. In addition, this study highlights the potential for collaboration between the industry and academia, as there are numerous research groups and institutions throughout the country dedicated to electrochemistry research and development. Despite this, the industry has yet to fully integrate academic knowledge and expertise to address industry problems. Overall, the manufacturing sector in Mexico is diverse, with the electrochemical industry continuing to provide employment opportunities for thousands of people but there is room for growth and development in advanced electrochemical technologies beyond traditional galvanization processes. Resumen. Este trabajo presenta un análisis detallado del sector electroquímico en México, proporcionando información sobre las regiones con mayor desarrollo en tecnologías electroquímicas, los sectores económicos en los que se desempeñan las empresas, los productos que comercializan y los procesos electroquímicos utilizados en su fabricación. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que, aunque la galvanización representa el 80 % de las empresas electroquímicas, existe una pequeña parte que utiliza tecnologías avanzadas. Asimismo, se ha identificado que la mayoría de las empresas se ubican en regiones con alto desarrollo económico, con una tradición en el uso de la electroquímica y donde las empresas son parte de los proveedores de la industria automotriz. Además, se ha identificado que la academia ha florecido en este campo, con numerosos grupos de investigación e instituciones dedicadas a la investigación y el desarrollo en electroquímica en todo el país. Este estudio resalta la importancia de la colaboración entre la industria y la academia para impulsar el desarrollo de la industria electroquímica en México.

“…The electrochemical reactor incorporates one or more tailored cells and lies at the heart of electrochemical processing at the laboratory, pilotand full industrial scale. Historical perspectives in electrochemical engineering thus remain relevant [4,5], along the discussion of its future possibilities [6]. Two books on electrochemical engineering [7] and its applications [8] have been recently published, along new reviews summarizing the characteristics, development and applications of electrochemical reactors for pilot-scale and industrial processing [9,10].…”

Plane parallel electrodes are favoured, in laboratory studies and industry for electrosynthesis, environmental treatment and energy conversion. This electrode geometry offers uniform current distribution while a flow channel ensures a controlled reaction environment. Performance can be enhanced by the use of tailored electrode surfaces, porous, 3-D electrodes, and bipolar electrical connections. Scale-up can be achieved by increasing the electrode size, the number of electrodes in a stack or the number of stacks in a system. Recent trends include a) 3-D printing of fast prototype cell components, b) use of porous 3-D electrode supports and their decoration, c) development of microflow cells for electrosynthesis, d) electro-Fenton treatment of wastewater, and e) computational models to simulate and rationalise reaction environment and performance. Future research needs are highlighted.
