Electrometallurgy is a broad field but it is not a new one. It was
the great Faraday in the 1830s who discovered laws covering the
electrodeposition of metals and its relation to the current passed
and equivalent weight of the metal undergoing depo- tion. Since
that time, applications and developments of his discoveries have
spread to many areas of technology. Electrowinning is the most well
known, partly because it embraces the process by which aluminum is
extracted from its ores. In electrorefining, the impure metal is
made into anode and the pure metal dissolved therefrom is deposited
on a cathode. Electroplating is exemplified by its use in the
manufacture of car bumpers. Finally, in electroreforming, objects
may be metallized, often with a very thin layer of the coating
desired. The numerous technologies vary greatly in the degree to
which they are intell- tualized. Until the work of Popov et al. ,
electrometallurgy has been regarded as largely empirical, an
activity in which there was much art and little science. This will
all change with the publication of this book. Several aspects of
the background of its senior author, Konstantin Popov, make him
uniquely suited to the job of intellectual- ing electrometallurgy.
First, he had as his mentor the great surely the leading
electrochemist in Eastern Europe since the death of Frumkin.
Second, he has had ample experience with the leading
electrochemical engineer in America, Ralph White.
