Electrochemical Conversion of Renewables

<p><b>Comprehensive and clearly structured learning resource on the electrochemical conversion of renewables</b> <p>This book compiles the recent advances of the electrochemical transformation of organic renewable compounds in a critical and didactic way. It serves as a valuable reading for the chemist interested in using electrochemistry for the conversion of the compounds. This book is useful both as a reference and to gain an acquaintance with organic electrochemistry, a field that has a clear application to commercially important starting compounds. <p>In recent years, there has been an enormous progress in the field of electrochemical conversion. With many research groups currently focused on this field, there was a need for a comprehensive and cutting-edge survey. Written by an internationally renowned team of three authors, the work is clearly structured and ordered by certain compound classes, which allows the reader easy and effective navigation. Sample topics discussed in the work include: <ul> <li>An introduction to the synthetic electrochemical methods and their relationship with green chemistry</li> <li>The importance of using renewables as a sustainable source of feedstock materials for the chemical industry</li> <li>The possibility of the use of electrochemical methods with renewable compounds</li> <li>An overview of electrochemistry used in combination with other transformation methods (for example, fermentation)</li></ul><p>Presenting everything about the electrochemical transformation of organic renewable compounds, this book<i> </i>is an indispensable source of modern knowledge for electrochemists, physical chemists and organic chemists who are involved in this important and rapidly evolving field.
