Electrochemical reactors are heterogeneous by their very nature. They always involve a solid electrode, a liquid electrolyte, and an evolving gas at an electrode. Electrodes come in many forms, from large-sized plates fixed in the cell to fluidizable shapes and sizes. Further, the total reaction system consists of a reaction (or a set of reactions) at one electrode and another reaction (or set of reactions) at the other electrode. The two reactions (or sets of reactions) are necessary to complete the electrical circuit. Thus, although these reactors can, in principle, be treated in the same manner as conventional catalytic reactors, detailed analysis of their behavior is considerably more complex. We adopt the same classification for these reactors as for conventional reactors, batch, plug-flow, mixed-flow (continuous stirred tank), and their extensions.
