Electrochemical engineering-its appearance, evolution and present status. Approaching an anniversary.

Abstract

Through this story an attempt has been made to present a chronology of electrochemical engineering-from its appearance as an individual science, via its growth throughout the five decades of its existence as an individual science, until today. The collaboration and linkage of electrochemical engineering with other disciplines has also been discussed in this essay. The role and duties of electrochemical engineering in the 21st century have been touched upon to the extent that it was possible.
