Features: This book comprehensively and clearly discusses the fundamental theories of molten salt electrochemistry, combining practical applications to introduce the main research methods in molten salt electrochemistry. In addition to the commonly used potential sweep voltammetry, potentiometry, and AC impedance methods in electrochemistry, it also introduces nearly ten methods for measuring back potential in practical electrolysis. It particularly recommends the "continuous pulse oscilloscope method," "ripple method," and "scanning reference electrode method," and provides application examples from Xuzhou Aluminum Plant, Zibo Aluminum Plant, and Fushun Aluminum Plant. The purpose is to help readers solve problems encountered in production and experiments. These methods and examples are a summary of the author's decades of experience and research achievements, and are difficult to find in general professional books. This book can serve as a reference for electrochemists and metallurgists, and can also be used as a teaching text for undergraduate and graduate students in metallurgical engineering.
